    We gotchu covered! Aside from one shortbed, the next batch are all long beds. We don’t batch by size- it just worked out that way based on the dates the orders were placed.

    Take her out for a miserable camping trip in the rain while sleeping on rocky ground with a leaky tent and crappy pads. Problem solved.

    I can usually swing a few hundred dollars. Anything more than that, and it gets iffy. North of $7k though and I don't think I'd live long enough to enjoy it :D

    Just camp a shit ton with your wife (and have a couple of week+ long trips) and make sure she has her share of responsibilities setting/cleaning up camp. Then say you’re getting a Drifter and she’ll thank you

    Someone asked if we could tint the rear window as an add on.

    Bad News: We don’t offer tinting.

    Good News: ....
























    It’s already tinted... :cool:

    Drifter....ARRIVED!
    Overlanerd! Thank you for your detailed reply - very appreciated. We are in the debating mode, primary because this would involve the purchase of both a Tacoma and the Drifter - a rather expensive proposition compared to the value of our 1985 Vanagon. We are in Seattle so there are likely some of these around. We will also be in SF in November and may reach out before that to see if we can see them in person at that time and ask questions, if you are open to that. The pop top is something we know and love. How the interior/camping experience would be managed is something less certain to us that we'd like to see more of. The table is exciting and I look forward to seeing more interior pics. Let us know if you'll be in Seattle (RV show in Feb?). We aren't looking to buy right now, but you are definitely on our short list for the coming year so we are excited to learn more. Thanks! -C

    Thanks for offering to show your camper Brian!

    Christy, you’re welcome! These inquiries usually answer many questions others may not have even thought of yet, so they are definitely appreciated!

    We will have a few more campers in the Seattle area in August/ September, and more in the following batches. The PNW folks have been awesome and definitely see the benefits of our all-season camper!

    Hmm, just realized I have no idea what the insulation kit looks like and I purchased it as an option. Anyone have the insulation kit installed?

    Monica(my wife) finally had time for me to giver her the walk around.

    She gave me a very specific set of parameters to work with. Glad to say every requirement was met.

    Now, let’s just hope this encourages her to come on more trips...
