New video from about a week ago. Actually this looks pretty good to me. My biggest complaint from the earlier model was the rear entry and they now have a side entry. That might allow me to put bikes on a rack in the rear hitch. No idea what the cost is, but likely $300 to $400 I guess. And it's on a 1 ton chassis so that's a plus. The pop top might also be a good thing going down the road or through the McDonald's drive through. Ha. I guess this belongs in this section as much as the EC TerraNova.
Rossmonster Baja new video - side entry also

We've been watching these guys.....
Their website profiles the regular bed, rear entry, but they debuted the 8' bed, side entry this spring.
Since then, it seems like they have sold a bunch of the side entry models.
I'm sure costs have gone up, but in May at Overland Expo it was around $200-$250k, including the chassis.
I don't think they do a subframe, and their suspension work/chassis work is much more basic compared to their competitors. Which is probably how they save on cost.
For me, that is a plus. I don't need or want 41" Super Singles, and we realistically drive on paved roads & maintained Forest roads

I agree. For my needs this might be the sweet spot. Not really wanting go rock crawling, just something capable enough to get through small sections of rough stuff if I need it. 99% of my driving is on paved roads.

These are really neat campers. Glad somebody is doing a hard side pop-up in America. Also glad to see the side entry option. Seems like a screaming deal and about half the price of an Earthroamer.
On this model it would be great to see north south bed option, and the shower seems very small. Not even sure how you would sit in there. I think they would really expand their market if they offered the Baja in a removable camper unit.
