E350 Adventurer 19rd X Series???

It looks like Fraserway / ALP is finally getting serious about selling the 19rd. ( In the USA. )

There is a picture at the show showing a $175,000 price. If this is CAD that would be about $127,000 USD

No listing for this yet on Fraserway's website? Not much info beyond what they are sharing on You Tube, Instagram, etc...



Questions that I hope get answered;

-If they are going to sell directly into the US market? Can you buy and pickup from Yakima WA. to avoid the hassle of going thru US CBP?

-Who is doing the 4x4 Conversion? In house, one of the companies in Oregon?

Any members near Abbotsford B.C. that can shed some light?

It's time to travel. Be safe, not scared.

Looks like they basically copied the Quigley 4x4 conversion. I like the overall size, and the rear dinette is converted to a bed. Here is a link to the video.

IIRC from when I was looking at these, they are have the option for 4 season insulation too. Seemed like a good package and I liked the floorplan better than the Thor.

Atl-Atl, are you sure it won’t ride/handle/flex well? I talked to Clydesdale recently and they seem to really know their stuff. Like to the point I’d drive from California to BC if they were still doing the TTB 4wd conversions they used to do.

OK, an early copy. ;) Quigley probably copied from the F350. We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

Since the mid 1960’s, Quigley has been refining its craft. First selling trucks and vans, then customizing them and beginning in 1974, building a new type of vehicle – the Quigley 4×4.

Quigley uses a short arm 4-link, not a radius arm setup like Quadvan and Clydesdale currently use. Timberline and CCV are in the 4-link camp too.

I've wheel the piss out of radius arm setups that didn't flex as well as a long arm 3 or 4 link. Good tires and line choice is more important than total flex. And maybe lockers. The frame and body on my leaf spring 4x4 EB will flex so much in a cross axle situation that the dome light comes on. Unless the c&c fame is a lot stiffer, I would be worried about the rigidity of that box if you wheel it hard. Most people are buying these for snow/sand travel, and low to mild trails, where any setup is going to work fine. Could always wrist one of the radius arms too, if people are still doing that (or just softer bushings).

When an Ekko is starting at $215k, the price on this seems fairly reasonable. Could always get a plan version and add your own 4x4 too, it'd be about the same price.

I wonder if you can figure out how to store 2 mtb's in that upper bunk...
