I love the design. A tiny camper with a toilet and shower is a game changer. My wife is not a tent camper. She will go with me if I have a toilet and a shower....this might be the ticket for folks like my wife or just anybody who wants everything a house has but in the form factor of a tiny expedition vehicle. Great work folks.
Really nice execution of a "poor man's" Earthroamer 😂😂 - and MUCH more attainable. This might be our move up from a RTT / Leitner rack set up on a Colorado. Just need to look into a truck with a longer bed.
What a great looking rig! Love the tapered lines on the exterior. This camper looks more sophisticated and elegant than some of the other current builders out there. Great rig for a couple, now I just have to figure out how to ditch my kids! Great video, can't wait to see other iterations.
@@Miiike604 Your biases ooze into your comment quite blatantly, but to each their own. Also, I made no mention of living in the unit. I don't think that size of unit would suit my family for full time living. Cheers.
excellent build. light, compact, and no wasted space. you definitely need taillights though! and I think the rear bumper needs to be extended like a foot outward.
I certainly like your attention to detail and goal of reducing weight with the composite design. I can also appreciate the high end components you use in the build, such as the Arctic Tern windows. I’d be interested to know what the weight of a Tacoma camper will be. Will it be possible to stay within GVWR?
Thanks! Our goal for the 4th gen Tacoma camper is under 1,000 lbs dry weight for a complete camper; the bed weights around 200 lbs for a net weight of 800 lbs. The new Tacoma has a payload of over 1,700 lbs so we will be well within GVWR and leaves room for passengers, gear, tools and mods such as bumpers/winches/larger tires, sliders, etc)
@prof, Excellent q! . 2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck. We engineered our mass between the axles for stability. . Let's estimate your bike and rack are several hundred pounds... far from the Center Of Mass. How would that impact stability?
I really like this setup... However, I would swap the sink and the fridge. This will allow closer access to the fridge without having to fully enter the rig. Thanks for the video...
We are doing exactly that on all future builds! Having fridge access directly from outside will be really nice plus we are adding additional cabinet storage where the fridge is currently located.
The crates are Sidio Crates, super versatile with the dividers and other options. We love being able to take the crate outside for cooking or using tools.
Unfortunately the ZR2 only comes in a 5' bed and we are only offering campers for 6'/6.5' bed trucks. Fortunately the new '24 Tacoma is offered with a 6' bed so we will be building campers for those! Our website is endurocampers.com
This is TRULY impressive, and close to perfect. Question: 1300 lbs is the dry weight I'm assuming...without the 30 gallons of water, correct? I would also suggest thinking of a screen door solution for the front door !! Also, make the swivel table inside larger if possible, so 2 people can eat on it comfortably; so maybe a folding extra section for the table. The other 2 points I had in mind seems like you're already addressing, moving the fridge position, and a fixed bed. NOTE: A viable solution for a fixed bed without extending the overhead can be seen at the 2 minute mark on this video of the XPL360 th-cam.com/video/PFsMfaDSYnI/w-d-xo.html . Looking forward to the videos of your future builds. Congrats on a brilliant product, and keep up the GREAT work.
Thanks!! Yes, 1,300 lbs is the dry weight and a magnetic opening screen door is an option! The table is sized in order to stow under the bench but we can certainly make it fold out to a larger size. Globe Camper makes a great camper is definitely an inspiration to us - we will be incorporating a similar lifting bed platform on our upcoming mid-size truck campers since we can't extend the overhang long enough for a fixed bed on smaller trucks.
$100k-$130k for this? Yall are out of your GD minds. For that super basic layout you want 2x the new cost of my truck? Lol. The hardest of passes. Ya'll are on crack.
Nice weekend camper. Toilets do not compost, that nears human waste is getting dumped in the trash. That's illegal True off road, not even close. You literally never left a dirt road. Not worth the money, get real and make it worthwhile and legal.
Thanks - the SuperTourer isn't for everyone! The camper can definitely stay out for longer than a weekend but at this size we aren’t trying to compete with giant expedition campers, which are basically 4x4 Class A RVs designed to be driven somewhere “off-road” and parked for two weeks. Our philosophy is to be constantly exploring and rarely camping for more than 1-3 nights in one place over a longer trip. We know this is a “true off-road” camper when compared to other campers such as any slide-in, big expedition campers, Sprinter vans, etc. as we take it places these campers couldn’t reach due to our light weight, slim profile and low roof height for tight trails, and low CoG. If maximum off-road capability is the goal, don’t put a camper on your truck - but if you are willing to make a slight compromise on weight then this is the best way to have your cake and eat it too - off-road capability with camping comfort. In addition, off-road capability isn’t just about conquering aggressive obstacles, it’s also about handling, driving confidence and speed-over-terrain; we don’t have to slow down to almost a stop when we see a bump/rock/pothole/dip in the road and are able to do this over and over again without the camper falling apart - even if it is just on “dirt roads”. I wish we could have a professional videographer with us on every trail we’ve been on but we’ll get some sweet obstacle footage uploaded soon. Regarding the toilet, you are correct that this type of toilet itself does not compost the waste; however, they prepare the waste for composting or other proper disposal; however, you are incorrect that human waste can’t be properly disposed of in the trash (think diapers) and is absolutely NOT illegal but should always be done responsibly and respectfully. There are other disposal options (which is ideally truly composting the waste) and we want to do a whole video on toilet options and etiquette but what is your method of disposing of waste when remote camping?
Is this camper under 7 feet with pop top down to be able to fit in garages? Looks like it may be. If so, would adding the AC on top make it taller than 7?
Leif! Nice rig dude 👏👏👏
Wow. Great work bro 💫
Withrow
Dam, I'm really love that setup, Leib. It's the most ergonomic one for me yet!

Thanks!! Making camping comfortable means you go more often and on longer trips. Would love for you to see the camper in person one of these days!

Thank! We prefer "everyman Earthroamer" but we'll take it - but this size will take you to a lot more places!
@@endurocampers I like that better!!
I really like this kind of build. Easy, simple, reliable and complete (cook/eat/wash/sleep/heater/toilets). Needs nothing more!
That rig is so cool!!! Kinda puts the hold on me wanting to build my own. Nice job.
Looks awesome. Any chance of making a 4 season hard side pop-up version similar to Alaskan?
The perfect accompaniment to a defender pick up, well done, great product. 👍
Great walkthrough on an incredibly awesome build. You guys are on it! keep it up.
What a great looking rig! Love the tapered lines on the exterior. This camper looks more sophisticated and elegant than some of the other current builders out there. Great rig for a couple, now I just have to figure out how to ditch my kids! Great video, can't wait to see other iterations.

Finally you guys have a youtube channel. I’ve been following your campers in IG. Love it.
Thanks!! We have a lot of awesome campers in the works, stay tuned!
Different...awesome 😊
What's the ceiling height between the top of the mattress when the roof is extended?
This paired with a GM half ton with the 3.0l inline diesel would be phenomenal for long distance travel.
If the truck needed service( domestic junk is in the shop often) and you lived in the unit, how would that work?

and I think the rear bumper needs to be extended like a foot outward.
Thanks!! There are definitely tail lights (and reverse/turn/brake) just above the bumper.
I agree, looks like it would be trash in a low speed rear end accident.
Really wish this would work for the Raptor. That would be perfect
Who says we can't ;)
I can't stop laughing. DAMN! That Lagoon Table is just right to eat breakfast and take a......................
Multitasking! 😂

Is the cabin fit to withhold the weight of an enduro bike in the back?

@@largemarge1603 dude, when I don't have data, I'm asking straight questions. You don't seem to be oriented on being smart, just facetious.

Maybe someday!
what kind of crates are shown?
The crates are Sidio Crates, super versatile with the dividers and other options. We love being able to take the crate outside for cooking or using tools.
Do you make one for the Chevy zr2? What's your website?
Unfortunately the ZR2 only comes in a 5' bed and we are only offering campers for 6'/6.5' bed trucks. Fortunately the new '24 Tacoma is offered with a 6' bed so we will be building campers for those!

@@endurocampers damn too bad
@@endurocampers I have a 3rd gen Tacoma with the 6ft longbed. Any reason you're not able to build for that?
Great camper set up ( love how it sets on frame ). But WAY to expensive! $80K - 100K.
😳 Next...
It’s actually more than that now. It’s not your father’s pop top 😬 The quality and attention to detail is way beyond mass produced campers.

Sounds like you don’t know crap about composting toilets. And what foot would throw poop in the trash. You bury it. Check local laws.
Wow where did he go? I guess he went to flush his toilet and fell in....
Is this camper under 7 feet with pop top down to be able to fit in garages? Looks like it may be. If so, would adding the AC on top make it taller than 7?
Unfortunately it is over 7’ tall. The Nomadic Cooling A/C unit is no taller than a Maxxair fan which is nice
