I found this video to be very well done and the presenter does a excellent job. I appreciated the pros and cons at the end. There are many things I like about the camper. One fault is no comfortable seating with people's backs up against the vertical camper walls. There are easy work arounds, though. What do do think?

My across the street neighbors are picking one up next week. Long lead time but they had no issues. Looking forward to finally having a good look at this design.

Definitely out of our price range and feel no need for the upgrade but looks well thought out and they had some mad money so why not?

A lot of companies are trying to build a better "mouse trap".

I like some of the features but I also like a simple camper.

The issue of the no power and depending on power to lower the top

could be an issue.

 

Keep it simple is my idea.

Did I miss a cost? It has to be very expensive.

Thanks for the reply and please share your thoughts when you see your neighbor's new camper. We're not at all interested in spending money. The design is interesting and it is fun to watch the pop up camper evolve. There is much I would change with the inside layout and amenities for Julie's & my use.

Frank, the first thing Julie noted was needing an alternate way to raise or lower the top if power was out.

From what I saw on the website, regarding price, around $60,000.

With the exception of an Alaskan CO, that has been an issue for every camper I’ve owned or been in.

Even thought the camper had alot of storage under the bed, it lacks drawers and cabinets for storage, their cabinets looked to be small and lacked space. Again, keep it simple. The camper looked to be well made, fit and finish is nice.

I'm curious -- what changes would you make?

 

I've had some wonderful quality time in our camper, in our garage lately trying to set it up for a  lithium battery. A half hour ago I managed to touch two wires together and... SPARKS! Yikes.
