Take any class 4 or 5 truck for $60-70k loaded, add a fancy $60k triple slide TC to it and another $10k in big tires, small lift (maybe) and some bolt on “off road” parts and you have the same thing. Correct.

Nope..That is not a truck with a TC in the bed..It's more of a Class C with the camper built off the frame..

I’m trying to figure out where the “well over $200k” price tag that TCM quotes comes from? Other than about $100k profit on each rig.
That’s absolutely nuts, but if they can market it successfully then the boys in Yakima can sell more than apples and veggies!
Cool looking rig, but I’m struggling to see what advantages it really has over a setup like Bedlams or others that are similar, other than slightly shorter in overall height. But what’s the difference once you’re 11’ + tall.

Even going overboard on everything, brand spanking new, I can’t get more than about $150 k out of that setup.

It looks to be about the size of the Tiger Adventure Vehicle Siberian. That means you’re going to be somewhat limited where you can go and even where are you can park.

Just head to the Tiger Adventure Vehicles site and check their inventory. Clicky

That’s just my two cents and worth every penny,Clicky

Agree. Definitely limited on where it can go. It's like a glorified class C motorhome :B.

I think you are right . There are not many places in the lower 48 that you can go anywhere you want , even in a monster truck .

This "go anywhere you want" idea is a bunch of hooey! More like you can go where your rig fits between or over or under, where it isn't too heavy for the bridges, where it is small enough to pull off to the side because a Jeep club outing with 50 vehicles is coming the other way, etc etc.

I'll keep my Tiger CX, thank you. 87" wide, 9'3" tall, 20 feet long, well under 10K pounds, and a stock Chevy 4x4 chassis.

Oddly no pictures from the outside with the slide out....I'm wondering if they still use the Schwinteck junk on that high end of a product. Not that I can afford it anyway....

Yeah I think they only use the tried and true Happijac mechanism on the Eagle Cap 811 and the rest get the Schwinteck

Out of my price range, but that is a dream rig if I ever saw one!
