That's a steal for only $20K lol.

20K? Would just buy a trailer with gold furniture!

And to thunk I've been wincing over 3-5k setups

 

[grubworm]

ha! i was scrolling down their website page thinking it was a cool design but guessing it would be expensive...around the $3K mark.
$25K?? that's like the $30K baby stroller that only a few celebrities buy, can't see this selling to any average person. maybe there will be a chinese knock-off version for around $2K here soon

Hmm...

I wonder what this may mean for the value of my hard sided pop-up camper.

At what point do we say, "You know what? Screw it I'm just going to get an RV."

I"m suspicious of their weights. 190lbs for the small one 250 for the big one. I guess if they really used a lot of Carbon Fiber they could keep it that light even with all the gizmos they have installed on it.

 

[haaken675]

That csts more then most people's rigs...

 

[diabetiktaco]

And I spent $3k on mine which I thought was ludacris. I'd rather have my tent and a 17k foxbody mustang..

If you own a $300K EarthRoamer you might as well throw 2 on the roof as guest suites.

It is a cool concept and at $25K there should be many copies coming. I expect the competition will start at 1/2 of $25K and the price will drop till they start to sell.

This kind of camper has been around for decades.

And, the Carbon Fiber would definitely drive the cost up.

Locking doors on a roof top tent...well it's about dam time! My, My Pillow, will never be stolen again.
