donthompson Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm not ready to trade my Ollie for one of these, but I toured a unique light-weight camper at the Chisos Basin Campground at Big Bend National Park a couple of days ago. They had a couple of solar panels and one 6-volt battery and were getting along very well without hookups. The view of the stars from the inside of this camper was breathtaking. Very minimalist, but also very well-designed and executed. The quality of the fit and finish was like Oliver's. http://www.safaricondo.com/en/caravanes_R1713 1 Don 2020 Kimberley Kruiser T3 2019 Ram 2500 Diesel States I visited with my Ollie (Sold October, 2019) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overland Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 That's cool. I saw an ad for that last year and I assumed it was one of those designs that would never actually become a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Try2Relax Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I had actually researched these before I bought my Oliver. They are well designed and manufactured in Canada. Back then the wait time was 6-9 months, maybe it's better now. The raised roof glass walls are really nice and let in tons of light. Not much bathroom privacy though if that concerns you. Everything is a matter of planned use. I believe when I researched them they were around $30K Randy One Life Live It Enjoyably 2017 F350 6.7L SRW CC LB 2015 Oliver Elite II Hull #69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
