For the money, I'd rather have one of those Jeep trailers. The camper top is around $12,000.

imo both prices are ridiculous but to be honest i can't see them running a manufacturing business w/o charging that price - it's not like you can make them in china for the volume they are probably selling. I looked on their site, i couldn't find the Jeep one and still can't get my head around the way it is supposed to be installed and used with the hardtop on - i think those pics were just a mockup and the product would be custom made. |

It's already marked up, that's why it's $12,000  |

Scott~ Using tools you have not used in a while is like shaking hands with old friends.  |

My guess is that they cut the tailgate up. Seems strange to even have sliver of window still there. It's probably not even glass though. I think it would have been better if they didn't have to cut anything. Can't imagine a kitchen in there or even a table.  |

I think for the money involved -- new Rubicon unlimited optioned out (40k) + 12k for the top -- I'd make a deal on a used Mercedes G Wagon, buy a surplus tent, a coleman stove, piss in the woods and call it even  I'd just get killed when the thing needed service though... |

Most of the G-wagons in the US are all Luxury vehicles, not the utilitarian versions everyone else gets. For teh money, you would be better off buying a used Defender 90 or even a 110. Or better yet a Toyota Land Cruiser 80, 90 or even a 100. |

Yeah, but with the Luxury G Wagon I'd have a shot at talking Miss July and Miss August in to getting out in the backwoods and roughing it with yours truly  . With the camper Rubicon or the utility G Wagon, probably not. |
