I want this. But...

[OFC Ranger]

...knowing the brand I can't imagine how much even the base model will cost.

Edit: Jesus Christ, looks like base price is $74,000!

Who the hell can that possibly market to other than a niche elite?

Half that price can get you a fully loaded ultra luxury off road camper. Yikes.

I'm letting it sink in that you can buy a 2024 Ranger Raptor for less money even if the dealer slaps an ADM on it.

Idiot BROverlanders will have zero problem getting a 20 year loan for one of those.

It's wild how long of terms places will give out for a camper that's just gonna be all soggy and falling apart after 7-8 years.

Well in ARB's defense, I don't think this thing will break down as quickly as other standard pull behind campers. The material and design choices seem very solid.

I'd hope not! Lol. I'm way too poor for any of that anyways 2 decade loan or not... gonna build myself a harbor freight squaredrop asap hopefully.

I am planning to build mine own as well, but I am going to spend a few extra dollars and use a local welder to do my frame because my design is going to be a bit different than most of the standard 5x8 DIY designs that are prevalent.

I'm surprised you don't have a welder!


My plan is to buy the box-stock 4x8 and widen it so a full size mattress just squeezes between the walls once it's interior is finished. It won't have the flip up kitchen that most of them have in the rear.. I want all the Interior space I can get lol.

Should have about 20" of floor space in front of the bed (tri fold mattress) when it's folded out. Not much... but enough for footwear/cooler/dog/whatever.

Be careful because the axle under the harbor freight one I bought was total junk rated for 45 mph with stamped / welded steel hubs. For off road it would pay to spend a little more for a better foundation.

It is on my list to learn to do, but I'd rather not have a trailer frame be my starting point.

Mine is going to be built in two sections, I plan to do full pull out trays all the way around along the bottom, then the sleeping compartment on top of that subframe. I'm not planning to do the traditional rear storage area either because I want extra space to put a small bathroom (cassette tiolet) on the inside. I am also going to do higher ceilings than normal. Mine will kind of be a mix between a squaredrop and a micro camper.

I had the same reaction to a small "overland" camper called Taxa or something. I was thinking 15k or so . nope way more lol. The small camper crazed mixed with all the off grid travel youtube hype has made the cost of small campers go crazy.

Keep in mind that you can go to Patriot Campers and get similar(if not better) for a.lower price and still made in Australia.

To add to my part above an X3 from Patriot Campers starts at $60,000 and is pretty nice for what it is. Even the X1 is nice for what it is.
