We are selling our 2016 XP Camper V-1 Build #30 after two glorious seasonal years of travel at over $45,550 below its current replacement cost, not to mention the 1-1 1/2 year wait to get the build. Check out current pricing at xpcamper.com.

Our rig has been meticulously maintained both mechanically and cosmetically. All the new rig “bugs” are worked out and every system functions as intended. You can go anywhere in comfort and style, summer or winter.

As you will see from the following information, we built her to be reliable, tough and trouble free with the ability to go anywhere in almost any conditions. She has never let us down or given us a bit of problem.

You will find the truck and camper’s appearance to be like new. The truck has never been in salt nor spent much time near the ocean, no rust anywhere. The paint and interior are near perfect. She is stored indoors most of the time when not in use, we go to Grenada for 4 months each year.

The truck gets 18-19 mpg, we drive 60 mph, at that speed she handles well and is economical to operate, anyway who’s in a hurry, you are sitting in Racero Ergomed seats with duel control air conditioning. She will ascend the steepest hills without slowing and descend without braking.

We will document all the options, improvements and maintenance to the camper and truck. The documents will show over $152,00 invested. She is ready to go from Alaska to South America today. The Dodge Ram 3500 truck is the highly desirable 2006 5.9 Cummins Diesel; the last year that diesel motors in the U.S. do not require low Sulphur diesel fuel making this rig a true go anywhere camper. Low Sulphur diesel is not available in many areas of Mexico, Central America and South America.

The current price for the XP Camper V-1 and Truck mods is $149,050 this does not include the cost of the truck. A nice 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie will cost at least $25,000, throw in $5,000 for seats, preventive maintenance, exhaust brake and misc upgrades, figure a least $30,000 for the truck

TOTAL REPLACEMENT COST $179,050
