Bahn Camper works

This looks promising. It's a new composite shell/truck camper. Appears to be nicely made and pretty light weight. Looks like the web site has only been up for 4 days so it's pretty thin on details right now, but I like what I see so far.

  • You've got to be kidding me. 56 grand, and an outside shower??? Tiny propane tanks, hanging on the door??
  • Interesting but Holy Smokes, did you see the price of the Universal model? It is over $56K.
  • $56,000+, though! You can buy a Host Mammoth for that kind of cake.

    I really want to see companies like this succeed, but I've also seen this business model fail time and again. A niche product in a niche market at an ultra-premium price never works. Very few people will pay a huge price premium for a spartan camper even if it is "bulletproof" "maintenance-free" and lightweight. They would rather buy a cheap Palomino.
  • They look promising for a light weight camper maybe i'll also be at the Overland East Expo
  • Pretty interesting. I see they're going to be at the Overland East Expo. Looking forward to seeing them first hand when we get there.
