Super!  Thanks for getting this together in your spare time.  Sounds like you are enjoying your life and time spent out there wandering!

 

I would be curious if you will be reviewing the over the cab bed space getting in and out, ceiling height and how you found it sleeping two people.  Maybe Ted can chime in with his opinions?

Should people be following your adventure on Maps,  I'll make a correction.... After Independence Pass you traveled Weston Pass (rather than Winston) as you made your way back to Golden.  Sounds like a fine trip across Colorado during the best time of the year.

 

I wasn't aware of the rental option on the Tiger and am exploring doing a similar trip in the near future.  Really looking forward to part III.

 

Thank you for the report.

Stray Dog, thanks so much for that correction!  I made the edit on the site.  I suppose I got in a hurry wrapping up that post. I seem to have a mental block on the name of Weston Pass, as I forgot it in the video too.  Winston is the big yellow lab next door, Weston is the correct name of the pass.  Thanks for reading!

pvstoy, there was more than enough room for sleeping two people.  There's also a small shelf for things you want handy, and two 12V receptacles, I assume those are especially handy for those that need a CPAP machine.  This particular camper had the Froli springs under the mattress and it was pretty comfortable, but maybe not as much as our Exped air mattress we use in the Eagle.  We did find there was less space for sitting up than we have in the Eagle, but it wasn't cramped, you just couldn't really sit up in there like you could in the 4WC.  As far as getting in and out, it was the least loved portion of the camper for us.  It's completely doable, if a bit awkward.  I'm sure we'd get the hang of it in a few more nights.

Thanks for the tour. Actually a nice simple camper.

Open and airy inside.

Not cave like at all.

Do you have a rough idea of how much it would be to buy a Tiger like the one you rented?

I’m betting $200,000
