Cave Campers

Not sure if this has been raised here before but here is a company selling very basic and light truck Campers:

I found that putting on a camper and taking it off is a lot of work. Maybe these are light enough to stay on all the time, or at least for the field season.

For $10,000 they are too bare bones. I just sleep in the back of my pu with a canopy on it, especially when towing a boat.

Nice upgrade from a tent, especially in bear country. You could use a camp stove to cook with and add a handpump sink if you wanted to. I wouldn't mind having one if I planned to travel alone all the time.

It looks to be a very nice basic little camper and would be perfect for a minimalist to enjoy.

I like it.

And I like the rental business idea. I've seen overseas tourists who rent minivans which are set up for camping. This could be better, or serve a slightly different market, than the van renters.

I like this... Would be perfect shell for my F150 Truck bed...

Looks like a perfect setup for my off-road Ham radio setup ops...

My first thought is this is perfect for camping in west Texas with west Texas dust. If you have never experienced this stuff, it is an ultra fine powdery dust that has a static electric charge and clings to EVERYTHING. The ability to hose it out is the only way one might ever clear an RV of the stuff. Then I noticed they are based in San Marcos, TX which is between San Antonio and Austin at the edge of the Texas hill country.

interesting little camper.

I have a heat pump on my 5er, problem is once it hits 40f its useless. Than the temp has to drop 4 more degrees before gas comes on and brings temps backup to set temp (while heat pump continues to blow cold air). I usually wake up cold before that 4 deg drop completes and switch it over to gas heat. They sure thought that one out well, but what do you expect from RV industry.
They should be using the mini split systems by now.

They're too basic for me.
I'm sure they are perfect for some.
And, it's definitely better than a tent. :C

I'd like one of those heat pump units.
