A better question maybe for this dear lady being interviewed regarding condensation would have been to ask her, do you winter camp? Do you camp during cold weather? My impression of her initial answer regarding condensation was that she does not. She claims to have experienced no condensation. She also seemed quite unsure as how to answer the condensation question. If she isn't very familiar with cold weather camping, it would have been better to admit that she's not personally familiar with the condensation issue.

this camper is very nice, however, my interest was really kept by the clarity of the pictures. i don't know what kind of camera you are using but it may be producing the best quality videos about campers currently on KZfaq. the shots of the bed and sink area looked as real as actually standing in this camper. very nice job.

I love the flat bed with the extra boxes on each side. This trailer may be my first choice. The queen bed has a normal queen size mattress. I am not sure how easy it is to get the back propane tank off the tray. Also I would be interested in upgrading the electric with some lithium and not sure how hard or easy it is with this unit. I think I would want to bring along an electrical bike and a separate Honda gas generator.

I love the dry bath but hope that wasn't the toilet paper holder up next to the ceiling. Hahahahah. This would be a great option for the style of travel you do but it would take a big truck to handle these large truck campers. Those with 3 slides seem to squat the largest trucks. Safe travels.

Hey! How was your winter? Are you safely back home? We loved this one but we know it would be quite an investment. New truck with less fuel economy. It's a dream to have that small a footprint with that much interior space plus having the mobility of the truck while parked. For the moment we're enjoying all the extra space in the fifth wheel. Thanks for watching!

IMO the condensation is from improper insulation/thermal design. The inner walls should not get cold for water to condense. Humidity is very high inside from normal body moisture and breathing. Leaving a couple windows partially open should help.

I noticed a slight design flaw as you enter. To close the shade on the rear door once you're inside, you must open the door, step outside, then open the screen door, then you have access to the shade. Not a big deal unless it's raining, windy, etc. Could be fixed with a sliding screen door, instead of an attached screen door. Not the best design.

How much does it weigh? Wet? What about the specialized haul vehicle? Brand new? $100,000 as it sits? Custom flatbed, boxes -- "Oh this is great" Underneath the Ford dually? What and how much was spent in upgrading the suspension in addition to swaybar upgrade? Sock upgrades? We all know factory shocks are not very good at all.
