That Ford looks sharp but is the cab molded into the camper body? I would think that would crack after time due to diesel vibration and flex while driving.. That other one while looking utilitarian/military, Lois a bit more robust.

Those are amazing vehicles but HUGE and EXPENSIVE. You would almost have to tow an actual trail rig behind it which kinda defeats the purpose of it.

so i think they need to make a vehicle like these that is actually a "toy hauler". with big enough area to store a small (like Samurai based) rock-buggy in the back of.... then you drive your giant expo camper pretty far back, but when it can't make it any further, you unload the buggy and wheel.
