Armorlite TC -- expensive, but it looks very nice

You've probably already seen this, but it was news to me:

Armorlite TC

Hard to say if it is worth the price ($45k). It might be worth it, on the theory that you are paying for a combination of comfort, light weight, and solid engineering.
  • I won’t say it’s too tiny but I’m pretty sure if you fried up a pan of Jiffy Pop inside it you’d end up blowing out the windows.
  • Interesting tie downs off the tub and no visible jacks for loading/unloading?
  • WAY to small for me................but I wish them well. Others may love it.
  • The pictures make it look so small. For one person or two skinny people it would be great. I like the looks of it, just not for me.
  • Professor, I had a look at that one too. With an E/W double bed, it is relegated to the bachelor oil well/tar sands worker in northern Alberta or North Dakota.
    The layout is great and the footprint is about as small as one could imagine. 80 inches wide? That works for me. Some diesel appliances? Yes. LOTS of cold weather insulation and windows? Yep. If you were really small and skinny as a couple, this could be a nice traveling/survival box. We're not small and skinny. I see it as an RV version of a tiny home. The price? Considering all the design work and high grade materials that went into it, not bad. If there is no something for nothing in this world, the price seems about right....if the unit continues to remain sound and weather proof.
    Only time will tell that.

  • 120 AH AMG battery and 320 solar watts? And 14.5 gallons of fresh water? 12.5 gallons grey water holding tank? No potty or shower? And all this has been tested in the...oil fields?
