Recon Campers

[FinsUp]

I searched but did not come up with results that this had been posted. These look like a great alternative to someone looking for an updated version of the Vanagon. I am hoping that at some point there will be a 4wd option. Has anyone seen of these in person?

These folks are renting out the campers. https://www.scampervan.com/

I think some of the prices are absurd, such as a 100 watt solar system for $1,000 ???

You should check out pricing from outside van. Lol

I guess it's a good time to build custom camping rigs...?

Like whoa...
Some of the stuff on there is cool AF, but all the screws showing makes me sad at the prices they are probably charging.

I've been following this guy for a year or more as he got it together. I'm not sure if he's still using the Nissan as his base but IMO that's the problem. It's the ugliest minivan ever made. It almost looks worse than a Promaster.

So do you send the guy the van and he does the conversions. At that price point it can't include the van as they are 22k+ new.

Yeah it's that price plus the van.

Two photos from the web site. The poptop is $6K by itself, a good start to a DIY camper.

They look good from the website. I just wish there was a 4x4 option. My wife really digs them. I have emailed the company a couple times with questions and they have been very prompt with responding.

45k complete? that is a great price for what your getting. 1/2 of that is the van itself. Then there is everything else. I am down for one of those for sure! it's the new VW camper van.

That is what I was thinking. I just wish there was a 4wd option for these vans. It would be pretty much perfect for mountain bike trips/races for our family.

It's a modern FWD minivan. I bet it will go anywhere. Do you think you need more clearance or just 4 wheels pulling? Just curious, FWD cars get around in winter better than 4wd trucks if the driver knows what they're doing. I bet you'd be fine with decent tires.

Great questions Sir. For the most part it would get us everywhere we wanted to go. I was thinking about future trips to Baja and such for clearance and 4wd.
