I just took delivery yesterday of a new, squeaky clean V1 on a Ford F350 oil rig with lots of shiny aftermarket doo-dads, bells, whistles and thingamajigs.
Although I probably should be overflowing with excitement about our V1 and struggling to get under control romantic notions to run north to south across Africa, I was actually really, really struck by the V2 instead. No doubt the use of Webasto, isotherm, Seitz and Heki components already puts the V2 in a different league. However, the facile way the V2 camper opens and closes (from the outside with one simple motion up or down), the full-size door, the window placement and the use of space makes this a truly unique camper that magically fits on a Toyota Tacoma or any other compact pick up. I also learned Marc can easily make the V2 wider for Tundras, etc.
I've visited several pop-up manufacturers and I just don't think there's anything else like the V2 in the United States. Having just spent 6 months with every aspect of the German government and all the hardware you can imagine, Marc is true to his German roots with ingenious engineering and use of space.
BTW, three hours away from the XP factory and I've been detained by elderly ladies, kids with problems sizing their pants and everybody in between wanting to know about the XP. If you're an introvert, you might consider sticking with a Winnebago.
