XPCamper Updates

What I would NOT want is the/any company to go TU with my deposit $$ in their pocket. That is where having the deposit in an escrow acct protects the buyer until delivery of the agreed upon product has been performed.

That works if you are buying from a big business (with big business overheads) that can absorb the hit. It is severely limiting if you want to work with a smaller business.

For a small company, escrow accounts don't generate the liquidity that they need to produce products. A far better method is to have a contract that ties your progress payments to ownership of specific materials, etc.

It's pretty common to give a small business progress payments that they use to purchase raw materials, pay labor, etc.

FINALLY photos of the production V2! Looks awesome! I like the details with the maxtrax and fuel storage on the outside. Congratulations to get one completed.

By the way, what was the final weight (Laden and unladen)? With the Taco I wonder about the weight.

Do you remove the sides when mounting the camper? Also any chance of making the V2 removable in camp and use off the truck? It would be great to base camp the camper.

The folding sides, tailgate and front headache rack are all removed prior to installing the camper. If you take the jacks with you, the camper can be removed, however they are fairly bulky and heavy so I suspect most people will not choose to do this. You would also need to provide some type of saw horses or similar supports to make the camper stable enough to use off the truck. It could be done but the camper was not really designed for this type of use.

Hey everyone out there!

Just wanted to say how great it is to work with Marc. I know he is very busy and he still finds the time to work with me designing my CUBE. Among other things. He is a really cool guy to talk too and thinks outside the box.

If you are on the fence about his products, I'd make the plunge. For godsake he can't even make the campers fast enough for people to buy them.

Very interested to hear about your cube. Any details of the design/layout you can share?

Well Marc and I are still discussing the right chassis. But I know it will be some kind of cabover. The CUBE looks like it will be 16 ft long about 7ft wide.

Hoping to see that black Taco at one of the Washington ski areas next ski season!
