This camper is solid as a tank. It is very well constructed, and the all-aluminum cabin construction makes for a quiet night’s rest in strong winds. It has about 4,000 mostly highway miles on it to include the trip home from SLC to PA and a couple of local weekend trips and OE East in VA.

Condition is effectively as new, but there are a very few “pinstripes” upon close inspection. All are surface marks, and none are through the powder coating or even visible from a few steps away. The unit is coated in Fir Green (RAL 6009).

On-board power easily handles the SnoMaster fridge, lights, water pump and vent fan for multiple days without any charging – so solar was not installed as it seemed unnecessary, but it could easily be added. Similarly, the electrical cabinet is spacious and could accommodate an inverter or almost any other electrical modifications you might want to add. If you drive every couple of days, the DC/DC charger will easily keep you topped off though.

My wife and I bought the EX as a Covid distraction since our other travel plans were being impacted by the pandemic (and still are to one degree or another, but hopefully better days are ahead). Selling now after enjoying our time in the Hive. This rig will be a long-term runner for the next owner as it was spec’d with longevity in mind.

Please PM with questions. Thanks.
