Ah, I didn’t think of that.

I'm in the market for a truck camper and have a basic question: Why would someone choose a clamshell-style camper (e.g. Alu-Cab) over a full pop-up (e.g. Tune)? I guess the clamshell designs are a little easier to open because you only have to push up one side, but the full pop-up style has so...

can the gas stove come out so you can use an induction cooktop?

Chrysler now has an entry in the overlanding market. For when you want to take the family to Target, buy some camping equipment, and head out to your local national forest for some boondocking. :) https://uncrate.com/chrysler-pacifica-grizzly-peak-concept/

FWIW, someone at Supertramp told me they could duplicate the two black cabinets in the photos on the other side where the molle panels are (so four cabinets total) Still not a lot of storage, but it would help.

What? You don't see the direct link between Earthcruiser closing, higher education, anthropology, capitalism, and colonialism? 😉

What are the dimensions and dry weight of the vehicle overall? How many pounds of payload? How wide, deep, and thick is the mattress, and how much space is there between the top of the mattress and the ceiling?

Overall dimensions? Also, propane or gas stove? Looks like both.

Not sure what your point is. Many vehicles (commercial trucks, traditional RVs, other F-550-based rigs, etc.) are this big or bigger and "fit on the roads" just fine. They're not for everyone, but I don't see a need to insult the guy's rig just because it's not for you.

They offer a collapsible shower enclosure now. Indoor Shower Enclosure - $385 This collapsible shower enclosure gives you the ability to shower inside your Outpost 6.5! If you select this option we will add hooks to the ceiling of your Outpost 6.5 where the shower curtain hangs from that is...

Exactly. Spending $100K or even $50K on a rig would be unimaginable to billions of people around the world who can barely make ends meet (or simply can't). $1 million to some people is like $1K to me. It's all about perspective.

Looks great! Any pics of the inside?

I agree. Scouts are cheap and not very well thought out (mediocre electrical systems, insufficient water storage, those silly porta-ledges for bed extensions). There's a real hole in the market right now; plenty of high-end EarthRoamer-style vehicles for millionaires who want to look outdoorsy...

I dunno. Everything is SUPER TERRIFIC! Wouldn't be surprised if they were paid. Good overview of the features, though.
