Did you catch a manufacturer name on that? That's the kind of rig I'm interested in! Super C but not too long. The working man's Earthroamer.

Ha I was sitting in a mexican restaurant in Willits cali and took that pic of my rig parked across the street! Its pretty unique as it has all the luxuries of a 'RV' but its built like a brick *******house and 100% diesel with all marine grade or high end coach appliances etc plus a slide . Its a custom build made by a company in 07 that bought the original xplorer co. when it shut down in 05 - not due to demand but because of family issues. This is the 'new' company website:

My one is the red one on top left repainted black. The new owner built half a dozen or so and I think really never got rolling as he has another company that takes most of his energy. I have seen one original early 2000 xplorer and its not even comparable to my one in build and all are on a 3/4 ton frame. Anyhow it was a good find. I rv all over the west and have never seen another one like it. Its a comfortable 2 person rig. My wife wants a small coach but I like this and winning so far!

What kind of towbar are you using? I want to tow our newly purchased 2015 2-door Jeep Rubicon behind Unicat TC54.

We've seen these guys few times up in Alaska this summer.
HaHa. Same rig was traveling south from Jasper in late August. We passed them just south of the Columbia Ice Fields.

We see the "caravan" of travelers going up and down the west coast twice a year. In the spring they head up north, now in the fall, they all come back
Our house is close to a prime campground in Victoria and I see big trucks, land rovers and other European campers almost daily.

Could be that or may be they just tired to tell all the curious strangers about their truck and their trip.

My F700, although it isn't a custom camper it is built to accept up to an 11'6" truck camper and still pull a gooseneck. Camper is removable in about 15 minutes.
