Hi Everyone
Finally I am here to answer some of your questions.
As I stated on RV.net, a hobby morphed into a business, and I am a little behind with the marketing materials.
The main reason when my friends showed the pics on the web was to get an idea if people liked the concept and to see of what kind of response would come out of it.
The response was beyond expectations.
For now I post the same info I did over on the other site.
I am working on a PDF presentation with more detailed specs and will send it out via email.
The website is being worked on, and we should have more info up by the end of FEB.
I will also try to post some of the main specs here.
Below are the main unique features incorporated in the XPCamper design:
1. Why did we choose diesel for heat, stove and hot water? Why not propane?
I have had some interesting experiences trying to chase down a propane refilling station. Most of the time I found the exchange tanks, but felt cheated when I had to exchange a ¼ tank of propane in exchange for a full one.
Instead we have equipped the camper with an internal three gallon diesel tank and in addition to diesel appliances for heat, cooking and hot water, the camper includes a microwave and a 12V TJ42 refrigerator.
2. Solar powered electrical appliances
The microwave and refrigerator will be powered by the internal AGM battery supply of the camper. The batteries will be recharged by solar panels on the roof of the camper. In addition to the solar charging of the batteries, you can idle the engine of the truck to get the batteries recharged from the alternator.
3. Aluminum flatbed, storage boxes, and adapters
The XPCamper will be equipped with an aluminum flatbed with under bed storage boxes. This flatbed will be easily adapted to any truck by our outfitters.
When the camper is off the truck, the flatbed with included sidebars becomes very useful in hauling more cargo than the original box including; lumber, cement bags, bricks, etc.
These sidebars also double as sand ladders, just in case you get stuck, you can get unstuck!!!
4. Choice of Truck
Since this camper and truck system is not an RV, you can choose the truck that meets your needs and desires. It can be four wheel drive, crew cab, extended cab, single cab, and even two wheel drive. Most any combination of brands, cab styles and engines are possible with the XPCamper.
5. The XPCamper is fully self-contained
The XPCamper has a full wet bathroom. It includes a 60 gallon fresh water supply, a 22 gallon grey water tank, and a water filtration system for general use and for topping off your tanks with creek water. The water tanks are built into the floor for a very low center of gravity.
6. Your bed will stay dry when the roof of the camper is raised in the rain
The XPCamper features a sealed top and bottom insulated tent membrane. This protects the bed from getting wet in the rain. In addition to the tent membrane, there are three overhead fold down hard sided panels. They fit between the mattress and the tent membrane.
This gives the option of being a fully hard sided camper, or if weather permits a more tent-like camping experience.
7. Shipping your XPCamper anywhere in the world
The XPCamper fits into a standard sized shipping container making it practical for true, round the world, expedition camping.
8. The use of state-of-the-art composite materials.
The construction of the XPCamper is per an engineered laminate schedule strategically placing unidirectional glass fibers, Carbon fibers and Kevlar in the needed areas. This results in an extremely efficient use of the materials which saves weight. This is not unlike advanced aircraft construction. The XPCamper has an estimated dry weight of 1300 lbs., fully loaded.
9. Headroom
The headroom in the hall area is approximately 85”. The headroom in the cab over sleeping area is a generous 40”.
10. XPCamper pricing
A fully loaded camper including the flat bed and its storage boxes will be under $60K.
