HALF TON READY? Really?
Once again, the mark is missed. Still too heavy. A camper like this needs to come in under 1000lbs fully equipped.
At 1290lbs, before water, before propane, before options, before provisions... You're looking at 1600lbs or more. Ever put a dozen bags of Sakrete in the back of your F150 and drove home from the local big box? Would you really want to travel 100 miles like that, let alone 500 or 1000? That's what this would be, times two.
I have to agree it is too heavy and too expensive.
They used to make the Right one.
I have a cooker like this:
Add a good bed, a cooler, a portapoty and IF under 800 lbs total it would be just right.
The new ones front cargo rack is interesting might work well.
