Great trip report. We were up in that area last week. Pistol, there was a sign that said they needed 11 feet of water to float the dredge. Yankee Boy Creek is just a creek, so I am guessing they would dam up sections to make a big pond, dredge that section and then move upstream. It is an...

Very nice document; well done. Another option is a Nimbl camper, or the EC model based on a one ton US truck (I do not recall the model designation). These are larger than a Sportsmobile van (more living space, more water capacities, etc) but smaller outside than an ER, or a KW based GXV (and...

I think the US operations (to the degree they exist) of Maltec are in Placerville CO, which is near Telluride. Too bad this does not have a camper on it. The Maltec campers look nice (at least in pictures).

I am NOT a Tiger expert, but I am a recent buyer of a used camper. A few things to consider: From the pics it looks like some cosmetic work would be needed, or at least desirable. But, do all the camper systems work? That is, does the water pump pump, does the cooktop heat, does the cabin...

There's a lot of places my Prius can go that that thing couldn't. On the other hand, I would have rather been in that camper when I hit the racoon; sort of made a mess of the Prius, but probably wouldn't have felt it with that camper.

Little harder to get a Unicat registered in the US though. Especially one of those MAN based ones.

I have a similar - but more awesome - setup to the red truck with the FWC camper in your picture above. An XP Camper (now Nimbl) with the storage boxes between the truck cab and the camper. We do a lot of mountain biking with our camper. We put a One Up bike rack on the trailer hitch. Works...

I believe the Adventure truck is also less expensive than a Turtle. There is a thread in this sub-forum somewhere by a Turtle owner that describes the differences in the Turtle and Adventure Truck. Both look like a really awesome truck.

I hope he got a good price for it. This was a great for sale thread and it looks like a great camper. Someone is going to have fun.

Thanks. I am in a similar situation. Have a RAM 3500 with a 2250 dry weight camper. Right now I need the airbags pretty firm to get the best ride, when the camper is on. But I am afraid if I get stiffer leaf springs the truck will ride very stiff with the camper off.

A bit off topic, but Idasho, it looks like you use your truck with the camper off, and the camper does not look light (well, it looks light for a camper that size, but it is still probably 2-3,000 lbs). What suspension does your truck have? Springs stiff enough to support the camper would seem...

Also re air conditioners: We also travel with a dog, and often need to leave the dog in the camper while we ride (or, in the winter, ski). I initially worried about the dog getting too hot, but we have not found that to be an issue. Most of these campers are white, and they are well insulated...

Nimbl is not a new camper; sort of. Nimbl is the rebrand and re-launch of XP Campers. There were 50+ XP V1 campers built (I have one of the older ones) . The original company ran into financial trouble and shut down; new management restarted the company under the Nimbl name. They have the...

You don't mention your budget, and whether you are looking to buy new or used. But a few thoughts. You do not mention Nimbl, EarthRoamer, EarthCrusier, or GXV. All of these make great campers. Getting a unit that will allow you to put bikes inside is a challenge. You can do it with a van...

You might want to edit the thread title with the new price. Nice looking truck; GLWS.

Ted, your question might get better traction in one of the other sub-forums here, such as the "vanlife" sub-forum (especially if your interest is specific to a van). When you post this question there, it would be useful to specify your use-case a bit more. Do you only need to carry passengers...

Nice truck. What is that rack on front?

I have not owned an EarthRoamer, new or used. I do own an olderXP Camper, bought used. A few thoughts: 1) A new EarthRoamer is about $700K. A new Nimbl/GXV/EarthCruiser can be had for less, but still a lot more than $105K, or $150K. So, if your budget is in the $150K range, used is your...

What is the dry weight of your camper? A payload of 2000 lbs seems too small. In addition to the camper you will have two(?) adults (300 - 400 pounds), full fuel tank (around 300 pounds if you have a large tank), water in the camper, food and beer, tools and jack, toys, clothes, etc. It adds...

That is a tough price point. As you point out, there are not that many people who are in the market for $200K+ for a camper, and for a lot of those who are, there is not a lot of difference between $200K and $400K, so they just buy a new one. It is a beautiful unit; if I did not already...
