I think he was initially talking about the Evado which was never built. The TerraNova was introduced in mid 2020 as a mod from the EXD which didn't have the cabover bed. I think they made 20 or maybe a bit more of the TerraNova vehicles. I would have bought one of them, but the number of zippers...

Looking at RV Trader and seeing the number of vans available for purchase right now this shouldn't come as a big surprise. I feel like the van life surge may have ended for now. StoryTeller had another one of these sales in Feb. that was a 10% discount and still didn't clear the books. Get...

I see that EC has removed the for sale units from their website. Not sure it's a sign of a weak market or just the fact that there have been so many Earth Roamers made and sold over the years, but there are 16 pre roamed on the ER website. I think that's the most I have seen.

I think the overall market for these type vehicles may have priced themselves out of business. The early TerraNova was the EXD and was introduced at $100k plus the truck. The latest TerraNova prices were starting at $350k. I was thinking about buying a new StoryTeller Beast mode this week, but...

Well, after spending several hours looking at what we thought was going to be our new van, we decided it wasn't going to work as well as the old one, so we will just update a few things on the old one and keep using it. Can't say I am a big fan of the new Sprinter vans really. They don't have as...

A few more pictures of the van FWIW. We are picking up the new van this week, so this one is available now. Best sleeping arrangement we have found. With the bed flipped down, you can sleep, but if you really want to sleep well, this Exped Megamat just makes a perfect way to sleep. We keep it...

We have been in Florida for the winter in a condo rental, but will be home starting this weekend. If anyone is interested in a video tour, let me know. I have a couple of people that have shown some interest, but we'll see. A couple more pictures:

Price drop from 45k to 44k to bump the post up. And, to find a buyer.

Dropping the price to $44k to bump the add. New rig on the way, so let's see if this seems reasonable. DM if interested. I also posted this on the SMB Forum Located in Indiana, 190,000 miles I put these pictures together last year when we were looking at a new Field Van from Fresno, CA. We...

If you have an app that downloads the maps ahead of time, the iPhone or iPad will both work fine for hiking or driving. Still miss the old Garmin app that downloaded all the maps to my phone and iPad. It was my favorite driving app.

This Entegra accolade 29T with no slide outs looks a little interesting, but it's still a foot wider than it needs to be. They tried to make it look off roady by putting a beefy bumper on it. Might be good if you wanted to just tow a jeep behind it though. Priced around $240 or so I think. We...

And, so do F350 Tremors. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/no-slide-in-campers-in-f350-tremor.243311/#post-3160626

The development of some of the newly announced rigs seems to be taking quite a long time. Truckhouse BCR, Supertramp Megatron, StoryTeller Hilt, 27North Rexrover, and several others all seem like good ideas, but haven't taken off yet. Maybe it's due to the high cost of the units and people...

I was just looking at the window stick on the F350 SRW 4x4 Lariat with a crew cab and long bed. It showed 12,000 GVWR on the sticker. I know the Ford website doesn't actually show GVWR. Just the restrictions for each axle.

I haven't done the research, but the two trucks I was looking at were both gas powered F350s with Lariat packages. The Tremor only had a GVWR of 10,300 and the non Tremor had a GVWR of 12,000. Seemed like quite a difference to me.

I thought it was interesting that the GVWR for the Tremor was 10,300 and the regular Lariat next to it had a GVWR of 12,000 also. I wondered about the lifted suspension also causing concerns by Ford about raising the center of gravity with a camper installed.

The XS and HD models "almost" make the regular vehicles seem cheap.

I was looking at a truck at the local Ford dealer and noticed this page in the glove box. It was a 2024 F350 Tremor with the 7.3 gas motor.

Yeah, now that I think about it still had a bunch of the protective plastic on the rig that probably was from delivery.

OK, we actually got to drive one of the Sprinter Ekko units last week. It was at a La Mesa dealer in Stuart FL. Not sure whether it is really a production unit, or one of the prototypes, but the dealer offered to sell it to us for $178,000. Had about 1,500 miles on the ODO. Overall, it looks a...
