$74,900 base model. I think they should have made one for a long flat bed, too.

It looks perfect for a 550/5500 size truck. What I am unclear on is what bed is needed to mount one.
I just now read the link. Looks like its more set up for any flat bed now.
My biggest gripe is the incredibly long steps. I can see an issue when pulling into get fuel, passenger gets out to use the bathroom or make a snack, sets the steps down only to block the next lane.
Still it looks nice on the inside.

Wow - just wow.
I've often thought that the 'Ausies' got to have all the fun with their setups and rigs and finally someone in the US made a 'camper' for a flatbed.

I might just be weird, but I would still want a propane fridge and stove top.

X2. Especially to go to the “Rugged Mountains”.
That said, I could wrap my head around a massive LiFe battery bank and a pile of solar AND a genny…..IF I was anywhere near rolling up $200k into a truck and truck camper.
On the upside, they have come to market right at the same time as one of the mega TC mfgs dropped off, and same part of the country/market, so I hope they are wildly successful with their products!
A 6-7klb TC on a med duty truck I liken to think will never be my cup of tea. If I’m going that big, will just go back to a small full featured toy hauler that provides 80% of the TC convenience and more, for 40% of the total cost.
But there’s a market around here and where you’re at. And a guy doesn’t need to make 1000s of ‘em if he can do well making a few (relatively).
All that said, that red truck and camper combo is HOT! In a good way…

Anyone worried about their jacks holding up on “normal” size campers can probably rest assured quit worrying now. Those look like toothpicks on that monster!

Yah I hear you. I actually like the new compressor small 12 volt fridges but one needs proper supporting solar and storage for them. For many, us included, getting that much solar and storage is difficult. I appreciate our 3 way propane fridge…although we have never er used it in 12 volts. We primarily run propane.
One of the big advantages of the 12 volt compressor units is the interiour size for a given footprint. No absorption cooling unit makes for a lot more room inside.
We know our next unit will have a compressor fridge (no choice) but hopefully it will also have an appropriate amount of storage and solar.
Jmho.
