Maybe off topic, maybe not...pop up camper from India. Reminded me of the XP camper initially.

Seems kinda...tall. Like the side tent though. Mounted on a Tata pickup.

I like it but it looks very pricey and has serious escape angle issues.

Moving this to the camper forum. Sure wish more US companies were making these kinds of bed replacement campers.

Looks pretty interesting but I don't care for the poles to hold up the window shades.

I would gladly sacrifice my truck bed if there were a cabin replacement like this offered anywhere in the CONUS. The old Chinook RV bodies would be a welcomed platform by me....

After recently experiencing the generous interior space in a Provan Tiger RV, where tanks, heaters, etc. are able to be stored lower due to the cabin design, I'm seeing what could be possible and I'm liking it!

Hey KC

Yes, I can just see you wandering the west in a 2 wheel drive Chevy Astrovan.

LOL

:)

I think your Toyota will give you much more flexibility on where you can go.

Just put an aluminum flat bed on your truck, and then we can build you a cool camper !

:)

The one (important) thing that is missing here Stan is a cab-through feature. A regular cab flatbed F350 with one of those cargo type FWC'a AND a cab through would be awesome.

Well I would lose style points, that's for sure! But after hanging in this little bugger, I was blown away by the interior space, even had a shower & wet toilet inside -

Now the interior storage was no more than a standard FWC, and I understand it takes an hour at the gas pumps to fill up because they run the fill neck parallel to the ground, with no help from gravity... but the elbow room seemed much better. And the swiveling passenger seat was a great feature.

That said, I couldn't see spending hours behind the wheel driving one, as the footwell on the driver's side was tight for me due to engine position in those vans. And the driver's seat doesn't recline due to the fridge/pantry located directly behind it. But it was nice to hang out in at camp!

I like this thing, built by Irbis Off-Road in Denver (<--- build thread link) - a Tundra with an old Toyota Chinook body grafted on the bed. Would've been sweet if they finished it before selling it...

That thing is waaay more me than an AstroVan! V8 power, a cab-to-cabin pass-thru, smooth sided finish, color matched, badass! B)

Now this here truck is what we are talking about....this thing is a beast, an absolute monster. Dave Rowe who created FWC, was the originator of the Tiger provans, of course. Clearly he had similar feelings about the bed, and the use of interior space. Call me crazy, but I can still see the FWC lines in a Tiger, its a logical progression. I don't have the bank account to even THINK of getting one of these, but if I did....I would take this darling over an Earthroamer. Now we will all bow before the beast.
