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...

It looks like the Turtle has been dropped also.

FWIW, there is another thread about the same vehicle here: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/unicat-brilliant-smaller-for-class-5-chassis-4x4-dodge-gm-ford-6x6-gwagons-toyota.242296/

Not a big fan of the rear entry. And timing wise, I probably won't live long enough to be able to get one. Ha.

Well, it looks like it was just enough to make it level front to rear.

Just happened to see this post about the Sprinter Ekko. It was at a show in AZ recently. https://sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/126347/

I posted a picture like that on X the other day in response to a Cybertruck tweet. Interesting, but not sure what I would do with it. The engineering sounds great though.

Thanks. I have only really looked at one that had been used much and noticed a couple places where part of the gasket had folded back under itself instead of laying flat against the fiberglass body. What about if you get a coat of ice on the outside with the top raised? Do you need to remove it...

They have one of the Maxwell units listed for sale on their website now: https://www.rossmonster.com/pre-loved-and-pre-built/the-vanacea-all-electric-camper-van-for-sale/

If you figure that an average KW battery for a Tesla or maybe the F150 lightning might be about 100KW, it would take about 64 hours of full charging from the 1,560 solar charging to get a full charge to an EV. So, maybe 6 to 8 days of full sunlight if you weren't using electric for anything else...

I also just noticed that the full reveal will be mid December. I like the pop top on the 1 ton, but just worry about how well the top and bottom seal up with the sliding gasket and how long it will hold up. Catch the full reveal episode on Monday 12/18/23 on this channel!

Another one joins the club. No idea whether this will be a real project, but here is a short video.

This is a fairly good source of information that would relate to overlanding as well as mountaineering.

Haven't heard anything about this since the original announcement really. Anyone else hear anything? https://earthcruiser.com/introducing-evado/

Rock chips for sure, but it might be cheaper to replace the front window than to repair the carbon fiber glass. Ha.

I think Liquid Spring is going to have campsite leveling on their F350 (and F550?) system soon if not already. Of course it can only level to the plus or minus 4" on each corner I think.

I need that garage.

It seems like all these companies try to do too much. I also like the layout of the RexRover, but don't need 3 TVs, an outside kitchen, or the washing machine. Seems like someone could sell something like this for under $300,000 and still have a good driving rig. The F350 would be my choice also...
