....new truck camper manufacturer in Quebec

Well, certainly not the prettiest girl in school, and with a $130K+ price tag, she's not likely to get many invites to the prom either. As with all new businesses, I wish them luck, and feel they're going to need all of it they can get.

For +$135,000 I'll stick with my Northstar.

I think I read the weight for the 1 ton truck model at around 3000LBS.

They write that the starting price is $130 odd k. So, I deduce that this would be for the model that fits the Ford Ranger...?

And yeah, looking at photos, no bathroom...not even a cassette toilet.

On a hot sunny day...it will be mighty warm inside.

Interesting proposition, and I wish them well but not too impressed with their what appears to be just ‘tack welds’ , I would question this one aspect...

3 tons

This?

Hm.

I see no cooktop, but an induction unit is mentioned in the text. No bathroom but a shower tent. What about a toilet?
The external structure elements can't be very beneficial in a thick forest, although they will automatically collect camouflage items.
The page gives very little tangible information. Materials are "are painstakingly selected and of very high quality". No specifications. No floor plan. How much does it weigh? How much water? Does it use propane for heating and hot water?
Lots of marketing fluff, no beef.

How many FWC units do I get for that price?

ETA: I now saw the portable cooktop and porta potty.

There's probably a small yuppie group that would shell out a pile of money for that. I know I grew up during the era where the value of money vs product was pounded into me. I wouldn't care if it had gold plated taps and door handles. there's no justification for that price.

I really don't see anything that comes close to justifying the $135K base starting price. It appears you get half of everything for twice as much as most of the competition. That's even accounting for the exchange rate...

Half the storage, half the solar*, half the bath, half the kitchen...

*compared to Host's offerings, which to be fair, aren't even that good

Maybe you get half the problems for that much money?

Cool looking and seems innovative.
Bang for the buck is lost on me though if I'm packing the weight of an "average" sized TC and don't have a chitter, shower, decent size fridge and kitchen.
Not knocking it, just a super limited/specialized market is all.
