We have a proven rig with for full time comfortable living. Could all this be scaled down into a quality, tough,
MODERN, smaller rig? We've ruled out: Tiger, SMB, a GXV cabin on a truck wouldn't be any smaller, all the 'prized'
European 4cyl diesels are for temporary but perhaps not full time living, and not available in the USA.
For some strange reason I can't rule out the XP- it has little storage, a small frig and some canvas- not ideal for full timers. (yes, I know the Cartwrights are in Africa with it, but they have a house to come home to). I guess it's just the romantic idea of absolutely modern construction in a 'go anywhere' package that's appealing to me.
Other than the XP and GXV cabins, who else in the USA makes a cabin with modern materials/construction?
GXV uses SCS (structural composite sandwich)- I'm guessing this is like Nidacore(http://nida-core.com/english/); I think
their Turtle cabin is modeled after the Wescott's Turtle V cabin.
XP uses a monocoque sandwich of a molded composite-over-foam core wrapped with hand laid unidirectional fiberglass
reinforced with carbon fiber and Kevlar (http://www.diabgroup.com/Products-and-services/Core-Material).
Who else?
