Quoted from article:
Marc Wassmann, CEO of Grass Valley, California-based XPCamper LLC – manufacturer of the world’s first all composite monocoque pop-up camper – has provided the RVing Examiner with an exclusive look at the first full size mock up of his latest hard sided, clamshell designed, expedition grade XPCamper model. Custom designed for compact trucks like the Toyota Tacoma the V2 XP - which is expected to retail for approximately $30,000 – will be launched in the summer of 2012.
The V2 XP employs the same monocoque design, seamless roof, DIAB cored composite construction and dual pane windows as its larger XPCamper counterpart and – although it’s smaller – it will incorporate many of the same cutting edge appliances and electronics as seen in the original XPCamper. The hard sided construction of the V2 XP – unlike tent based camper variants - means that the unit can be deployed in extreme weather conditions and in areas of wild animal predation.
The V2 XP galley area will include a fiberglass countertop, SMEV 2 burner propane cooktop, 130 l 12v fridge and Spinflo kitchen centre. Other interior features include a standard queen bed (with an optional $ 425.00 European spring mattress system), shower, cassette toilet and Imtra marine grade LED lighting throughout.
Marc hopes that the V2 XP – which has already received a number of pre-orders - will emulate the success of his ground breaking XPCamper which has proved popular with overlanders around the globe. The latter – which debuted to much critical acclaim at the 1st annual Overland Expo back in 2009 - has chalked up sales in the US, Australia, Alaska, Canada and South Africa.
