My wife and I wild camped five months full time through a Rocky Mountain winter ski trip in our XPCamper V1, and suffered no condensation issues at all despite drying wet ski kit most nights in the wet bath area. I put this down partly to the construction which is essentially a 35mm thick yacht...

Happy to answer any queries!

I think what this thread is missing is some XP Tray storage images. Being short of storage is not normally an issue raised by our clients. But we will always do our best to accommodate specific storage needs. Personally my wife and I lived in our V1 for six months of continuous ski camping; we...

I have an Isuzu D-Max extended cab. We use that rear space as rainproof/theft proof storage. 2 mountain bikes fit in the space with the wheels off. Our space is smaller than a Ford F150-350 so you should be fine. The other major use is as a place to put our ski kit. To avoid issues with...

Sadly the 3.0 D-Max engine that the Aussies have doesn't pass Euro 6 legislation (or Euro 5). I would be very surprised if it passed California emissions tests. Isuzu & Chevy were working together until recently. Isuzu are now partnered with Mazda for the next generation D-Max. Maybe the US...

The engine code for the 1.9 is RZ4E-TC. In my truck it delivers 164ps and 360nm. Isuzu claim 34mpg (US) on the combined cycle. Until recently Europe had the 2.5 litre 4JK1-TC, Australia still has the 3.0 litre 4JJ1-TCX. They are all inline fours Other potentially useful links: Isuzu UK website...

I believe you find them in South & Central America but you're right I've never seen one in the US. I'll be fitting this with an XPCamper V2 and a custom flatbed as our European display vehicle. It's a UK 2018 Isuzu D-Max Utility fitted with the Arctic Trucks AT35 package. I bought it as you see...

Good call www.xpcamper.com

Balsa might be a great way to go brand new; but balsa cored boats suffer worse depreciation than other GRP builds. If water gets into that core it can rot easily and be expensive to fix. Having worked as a professional yacht captain for 15 years I wouldn't choose to build a balsa cored camper. I...

Yes it is. The photo with the top popped is White Crack Campground. The camper overhang is actually really practical; it keeps the sun off the cab in hot weather and mostly stops snow from falling on the windscreen in winter. You also end up with a short, light, wieldy and powerful truck that...

My wife and I lived full time through a Rocky Mountain winter wild camping/boon docking every night in our truck. We also explored the High Sierras, Death Valley and plenty of southern Utah - including running the White Rim Trail as the first vehicle through after November snows. The...

Powered fans set to blow 'out' from the peak of the roof, coupled with an air inlet lower down and close to the sleeping area works great in hot climates. During the day it is most effective if you draw the fresh external air from a shaded area ie under the awning or even better beneath the...

We are only 50 minutes drive from Felixstowe port where the Dutch ferries dock. Utrecht is virtually on our doorstep so there's a good chance. XPCampers are built to be lived in full time, wild camping in rough terrain for weeks on end. The V2 we have available for viewing arrived here via...
