Interesting. I wonder if they are not getting traction with their pop-top rigs on a 1 ton truck. Those smaller units look really nice (on the internet at least); this thing just looks huge.

Nice bike. What flat bar hardtail frame are you getting?

I did not see the blue Unimog, but if you were driving North from Albuquerque to Santa Fe on Weds, I think I saw you. I was driving South and saw some uncommon expo rig coming North, but it was then blocked by a passing semi. Also, I saw a new-ish Earthroamer parked on a neighborhood street in...

This is a long-shot, but on the Coolant Low (false) indicator: check the connection form the battery to the engine control module. On my 2013 3500 that came loose. I started getting occasional Low Voltage indications, when the voltage was fine. Then more frequent Low Voltage indications, and...

I think I sent you a message, but I am not sure how that system works. At any rate, if this is still for sale I will be in GJ Tuesday afternoon and would like to check it out.

Re-branded Adventure Truck (tm)? It does have the Liquid Spring suspension, which seems like a good thing, but I am no engineer.

Well I guess I am a bit shocked. That does seem reasonable; "reasonable" being a relative term.

Bumping this up. Camper will be at Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland CO the weekend of Aug 25/26. Message me here if you want to meet up and check it out. Much of the time between now and then I will be in the camper and off grid, so please be patient if I do not respond right away.

I would be shocked if this was less than $500K; probably closer to $750K. As you mention, the truck itself is $200K. Granted that already includes a lot of the suspension mods that someone like Earthroamer does to the base vehicle, but still that habitat looks expensive.

Did not know that; they look the same (or maybe I am not paying attention). Did they get any better power/MPG/payload?

I had an early year (2008?) of the current gen Tacoma. It did not have impressive power, had a pitiful payload, and got poor fuel economy even in stock trim. I was excited to get it, because Tacos are "the thing" and all the cool kids have one, but really it was not a great truck. We have had...

I remember when you bought this; that was a good deal and this looks like a good deal as well.

Yep, still available. Send you a message. If anyone is interested we can meet you at the Overland Expo in Loveland CO Aug 26/27.

I am not a mechanic, but I am a statistician. While one part may not affect what the other parts do, if each part has an X% probability of failure, then having four parts means the probability that at least one of them will fail is 4X%. If you flip a coin 7 times, and the first 6 come up...

Not a silly question at all. I fairly routinely monitor fuel consumption. In general it gets around 14 mpg; I have had as high as 16, and 15 is not uncommon when driving on the Interstate or straight and not mountainous state highways. This is at speeds of 65 mph or so. The truck will go a...

Can I tow a trailer with it? Sure can. One XP owner (also on a RAM Cummins) routinely flat towed a Jeep. Another towed snowmobiles and motos. We have towed boats and a fairly large -Haul trailer, no problem. An owner of a new Nimbl switched from a Fuso based Earthcrusier for the towing ability.

While we are on the theme of storage, so not great pictures of the storage inside the camper. First pic is a shoe cubby under the rear dinette seat, just on the left as you enter the camper door. We keep a whisk broom and pan in there, along with shoes. Second pic is the under floor storage...

I can only attach 10 pics to a post, so one more of the front under flatbed storage box.

As far as I know all the XP's (and Nimbl's) have that rear tray. Below are pictures and approx measurements of the various storage areas - not including the cabinets inside the camper and the rear seat of the truck, which is huge if you do not have passengers or a large dog or two back there...

Interior of the camper. First shot is sitting ion the bed looking back. Second is standing in the doorway (passenger side) looking at the galley). Third is standing with back to table (shown in first pic) looking forward at the bed. Last is the wet bath with the lid up, but the curtain...
