Saw 4 of these campers in one day, that has to be a record. Started with the first 2 at Hatch over by Bunion's house. Maybe those don't count because they are always there (and available for rent). Then saw one on a Tacoma downtown. And then a Tundra over by Bob Wards.

Free bump - just picked up one of these things a few weeks back. Super sick setup with a buddy heater. Hands down better than a RTT.
And the roof top tent version is also awesome!

Bump!
Anyone have a line on how a guy could get a GFC for a short bed 5’ Tacoma without waiting till next January? Willing to buy used.
Hey Single, the product is looking great on The Fifty. Congrats!
Really pissed at myself for not getting in at beginning. Some guy is selling his "spot" over at expedition overland for 500 bucks...
You just made me look. Glad its for a 5.5 bed or I'd be really tempted.Quote:

American Expedition Vehicles post on Facebook today. This baller rig lives right down the street from me and is owned by Dave, the guy in the picture, who started AEV.
When did RAM become the unofficial full size overland truck? Props to Fiat for that bit of marketing!Quote:

Only trucks I consistently see on the side of the road with their hoods up. Most look newQuote:

Bump as I continue to be enthralled with this concept. V2 seems to have some great upgrades. I think the line for a camper is out to summer, but can't confirm.
I could see this as a great solo rig. Wife probably won't camp without a bath and shitter anyways.

If you mean summer 2022 you're probably close.
I don’t get why a $5000 tent affixed to your roof is better than a $200 tent on the ground you can put anywhere, including your roof...but again, why there?
solving problems that dont exist.Quote:
