Rossmonster Havn

Rossmonster introduces the Havn, a cutaway Sprinter.

It's super similar to the Nomad Euphoria XL, but with a few key differences:

- Different layout especially the rear dinette/bed conversion
- 2 passenger seats

But it is $10K more and:
- 12V system instead of 48V for the Euphoria (ridiculous in my opinion on a rig this expensive)
- Less power and less solar
- Less water capacity, 40 vs 50 gal

I would like to see Storyteller, with their excellent passenger seat / lounge seat / bed hybrid, excellent lithionic 50V system, compete in that field.

In any case, those cutaway chassis make a lot of sense because they offer much better space than any regular sprinter, or truck camper.
Those can compete in spec with $500K Truckhouse, Megatrons, or other luxury truck campers while costing $200K less and much more interior room at the expense of a bit less of offroad capability (but it's not like you bring those huge 12K lbs trucks on tight jeep trails anyway).

The cutaway vans are the way! Best expedition vehicle style IMO. Way better than something similar on a much larger HD truck chassis. This basically has the same (beautiful) interior as their larger Baja, but in a smaller footprint. But alas, starting at $300k is a bummer. It is the most beautiful rig I have seen in years though! I am hoping for more and more manufactures jump on the B-Box train.

Shame the specs are worse than the Euphoria. 48v is really the way to go with these larger lithium systems. 40 gallon of fresh water and 5 gal grey is kinda small, would hope for 50 / 25. But I guess with the tony 5gal cassette toilet you'll be hunting for somewhere to dump and fill every other day or so anyways.

I wish more manufactures would beef up the capacities on the holding tanks. 1000ah of lithium is killer, but the stay breaker is the water and waste capacities. Our rig has 90 gal of fresh water, 45 gal black and 45 grey. With the 2 of us we can stay out 7+ days without issue. Perfect for us as we always stay in the same spot for a week or more before heading off. A rig like this you really have to be on the move every 2-3 days.

Just needs a sweet front bumper, winch, and of course some lights and its perfect!

These choices are not full time 4x4, are underpowered and have small dinettes. With prices of $250K to $300K there are better choices. Many manufacturers are offering one.

Expect tariffs to see them all go up in price soon.
