Not even water skis? ;-)
I asked because I lose space under the sofa to a 150 litre water tank and large inverter. The water is mounted inside the insulated camper area to protect against freezing.
Other than that, the layouts of the Explorer and the Tiger are amazingly similar. Tiger Photos

You can see why US sourced TC's are a hard sell here. Inspected two at the the Sydney Caravan and Camping Show about 3 yrs ago...looked very ordinary

Nothing as far as a complete package. To be honest, its just not feasible because Toyota and Ford won't give us the heavy-midsize pickups that the rest of the world gets.
About as close as we get is XP camper, which builds cargo fiber camper shells, and then upfits them onto your provided chassis:

Smallest currently are Tiger models built on one-ton Ford, Chevy or Dodge chassis. In the late 20th century Frank Industries built Xplorer models on 3/4 ton and one-ton Ford and/or Dodge, and Serro Scotty built on the "compact" Dakota chassis from Dodge, which was a bit larger than Ford and Chevy compact trucks.
FourWinds built some compact C's for CruiseAmerica on Ford's F-series, but that was probably a SuperDuty, might even have been dual rear wheel.
Small is hard to sell here.

These are pretty small too.

Robert,
Saw variations of these beasts at Coober Pedy and elsewhere. The Explorer is very similar to the Tiger, except that I don't think that the Explorer can run the A/C or microwave without shore power.
Do you know if these beasts are set up for below freezing operations? (I was just brushing the snow off of my solar panels.)

That sunliner looks great. I wish one of the TC companies would make something like that for a pickup without the bed.
