It’s a very nice trailer, with tons of good features. I like the all aluminum/composite , no wood construction. It’s definitely geared toward young over-landers, and outdoor enthusiasts. At 7,000 lbs., and over $100,000, it’s really not practical or realistic for most folks. To each his own, though. My perfect travel trailer would be an Airstream Bambi 16’, with a lift kit. Unfortunately for me, that is way over my price range. Our compromise is a new Casita Independence 17’. The factory installed lift kit will handle any off grid camping we’re likely to attempt. The kitchen, bathroom, and entertainment system are all indoors, where we like them. It’s small enough to fit into any campsite, and light enough to be towed by a half-ton truck or SUV. We’re selling our 2014 Keystone Passport 23’ RB Elite. We’re tired of dragging around all that weight.
Yeah, it's a really nice trailer but for $100,000 it should be. My dream one would be the Bruder EXP6. That is a really really nice trailer but it is manufactured/shipped from Australia. But if you are looking for a really nice off road camper for the entire family, including pets, the Black Series campers are the way to go and the HQ19 is under $100,000.
The construction is amazing, The trailer it sits on is amazing. No wood to rot, good solar system. But the inside of that trailer is absolutely impractical, for anything other than taking a shower and, showing it off to your friends. Where are you going to cook? Outside 100% of the time that's going to get old really fast. It's basically a fancy bathroom with a bed in it. That is so impractical it's laughable. So when it's raining snowing, wind blowing a hundred miles per hour. I've been on the road for hours and I just want to eat a hot meal and go to bed I get to cook out side, then walk inside a bathroom without a table, and wash my dishes in a stupid bathroom style basin sink? Then why am I towing this big thing? I could have cooked out of the back of my truck? I could have washed dishes in a bucket easier than that sink inside. All this is is a 7000 lb shower room with a bed in it. Makes absolutely no sense. Great construction, great features, horribly executed design. Biggest thing I question is whether you could live in it in cooler weather all those big windows he never talks about heating or cooling systems? I think this is a shameless money grab for people that want to be overlanders. And have the money to buy their way into it or at least what they think being an overlander looks like.
This reminds of an Australian brand whose name escapes me at the moment. This is definitely something built for a niche market. At $140k, I'd get myself a 5th wheel toy hauler. Two different intended purposes, but for that kind of money I want the space to go with it.
Australian have been building these for years and have a long history with over landing caravans and vehicles. Nice to see the US starting to build these type of caravans, looks nice and hope they do well.
Firstly, I have to agree with Josh the RV Nerd. Outside speakers at the top of the RV makes no sense at all. Why blast the neighbors? Granted, this will not likely be used in an actual campgrounds very often. Still, my own bluetooth speakers are my preferred option. Next, the lavatory sink is just stupid. Whether in a home or an RV. Water just splashes right out of that type of sink all over you when you use it. Plus, it's unnecessarily heavy and takes up more space than necessary. It's just a fru-fru gimmick, in my opinion. A simple bowl sink is so much more practical. Other than that, I love the rest of the camper! All aluminum makes so much sense. And the kitchens are so well thought out. Also, I've been wondering when a manufacturer was going to offer a wrap instead of an unnecessarily expensive paint job. Good job Pause!
I don't disagree about speakers. Especially on tall fifth wheels. At least on this one they're a real brand and closer to your ears since it's not a very tall trailer. Unfortunately there are a lot of customers who no outdoor speakers is a dealbreaker for. It's really dumb.
Wait, “it’s not thermally bonded, it’s panels are heated together”? 😳 The salesman makes me skeptical. But the cameras, storage, gun racks, windows, usable outside shelves, tables and storage, all make this a fascinating option that I want to know more about.
Forest River doesn’t have a enviable track record recently when it comes to build quality. That’s going to be difficult to overcome when trying to induce someone to plunk down $100K on a travel trailer. That said, I love the use of lightweight interior materials instead of clunky wood and wonder why more manufacturers haven’t gone down that path.
Looks very much like this was inspired by HQ Black Series. If so then the pricing is not competitive IMO. But nice to see more manufacturers offering "off-road" TT designs.
These, Black Series and Ember RV signal a new overlander trend but my BIG hope is a much better industry standard in quality of build! Quality has been the victim of quantity sales in the RV industry for far too long!
Pretty cool design with high end construction features. I agree it would be nice to see these walls and other components find there way into other models
We pull a 18' nuCamp t@b 400 boon dock light trailer with either a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Ford F-150 5.0. We've been overlanding with it since 2019 with our longest trip being 3 months from FL to Alaska and home. Just a couple of comments; first it is def a nice rig but at 7000 lbs empty, you would have to be very smart when it comes to the right tow vehicle. The camera on the rear is a backup or rear viewing camera and not necessarily a security camera when stationary. Love the idea of outdoor kitchens and they are great when the weather is nice but realistically it's fair to expect raining days, so it'll suck having to cook outside, plus there is no table setup for eating inside. I don't remember him mentioning anything about batteries, but for the prices they are asking, they should come with lithium. Lastly, its Forest River and they've taken quite a few quality control hits in the last year or so. Would be nice to see them turn it around. I wonder if the design experts ever query their audience/users to get a feeling for what they would want? I know when we were looking for a small trailer my wife had several "can't do without" points; a quite and efficient heating and cooling system, close to a queen size bed as possible, separate eating area so we didn't have to put the bed up to sit, a kitchen that you can actually cook in and a shower/toilet. I'll be honest and say at first i wanted an outdoor kitchen and was happy with an outdoor shower. After camping in desert heat and snow I have to say I'm so glad I listened to my wife. Plus the rig we got is around 3100 loaded and cost a 1/4 of this rig. It really comes down to what sort of camping you want to do - suggest renting different rigs to figure that out if needed and how deep your pockets are.
Not my style, but I'm glad that Forest River is stirring up the market with some fresh thinking. The emphasis on quality and durability is good to see too.
I have been full time in an Airstream Basecamp 20X for the past 18 months. Like my trailer but have to admit that even Airstream has some design and quality issues. However, every time I look at the traditional American made trailers on the market I am very glad for my AS. The Basecamp is supposed to be AS’s version of an off road trailer but it is not even close to this unit or the other American made overlanders such as the Imperial Trailers Xplore series. I was in Breckenridge, CO this past January/February for 30 days. Every night was sub zero even getting as cold as -30! Days were Colorado sunny and much warmer. Used heated water house that worked well but the pipes froze and I did a DYI insulation that worked pretty well. The pipes were next to the wall (aluminum!) and over the wheel well which was a very bad design. The final problem was tank ejection pipes freezing. Tanks had heaters but the pipes that provide the ability to dump froze. Fix that with a propane tank mounted heater and tent (to contain the heat) made out of Reflectix. Recently found a better solution with a “gun” heater that has forced air and connects to a propane tank. Works great. Bottom line, to get the type of overland trailer that can withstand extreme temps, provide sufficient battery power for A/C, tanks large enough for a week of boondocking and some other necessary features you are going to have to pay $125-$150K. I am just glad that there are now some American mfgs that are focusing on quality. I may be upgrading soon.
Yes, so many of us are going out to get one of these in the middle of this recession. I just filled up my Subaru it cost 65$ for regular gas. It's a glorified tin can. A lot of people are going to be hard up just figuring out how they are going to heat their home this winter. 😞
@@Desertfox92308 Agreed, why do we continue to see new RV products that the average consumer cannot afford. A lot of “UA-cam” stars do the same thing. Most families don’t care about this, most are worried about where their next meal is coming from, not spending 100K on a RV.
Yes. $100K+ for this and another $70K+ for a RAM Power Wagon type rig to tow it with. This class of camper is a luxury item. But then, no one ever said that RVing was a budget way to live.
I think these are a pretty cool design. I’m glad that you and Dillon were able to show these Pauses to us. Very nice and bathrooms are nice. Thank you Jason for showing these Pauses. Hope you have a great week. See you soon!
Nice. But will the fridge work longer than 3 months? Will the awning mother-board work past 7 months? Will the hot water heater really produce hot water longer than a month after purchase? Will the roof caulking last more than a summer without cracking and leaking? Are the outlets wired correctly? But I digress - maybe the RV industry has repaired its poor workmanship and supply chain problems by introducing another over-the-top model. Cha-ching...
they should be able to focus on quality control and slow down the assembly line. This is an expensive, low volume trailer. If not, 100% agree with everything you stated.
Agreed. We exported our inflation to Asia for 20 years and now we’re exporting it to product quality and life span. I’m in my late 30’s and I remember when a weed eater lasted a decade and didn’t fall apart just after the 1 year warranty. My dad still uses the meta Radio Flyer wagons for gardening 20 years after his 4 sons used and abused them. Now they’re made of it plastic. Most all brands are making cheaper. I’m sick of buying s*** with 5 stars and is junk, even if it’s cheap and gets there the next day. They’re going to have to start have reputations for the quality again or I’m rarely going to make discretionary purchases without doubting the quality by default.
I always love to see RV manufactures thinking outside the box (pardon the pun), and these have some really innovative features. The first floorplan went really overboard on the outdoor kitchen(s) with basically two exterior refrigerators and no interior kitchen...that wouldn't be much fun if winter camping. I'd also love to know what the high/low temperature rating is for these Pause units? They've also really "borrowed" a lot of inspiration from Ember RVs...the Euro windows and skylight(s), the front cargo box, the off-road suspension, etc., although these appear to be more geared towards the hardcore overlanding community, and Ember is building more for traditional RVers who want to get off-road and off-grid. Also, Embers currently top out around $60K, even with 600w Max Solar, but are very off-road capable and are 0-100-degree rated, and their MSL models offer really innovated storage/configuration flexibility. Besides the much more reasonable price tag, I prefer Ember's balance between off-road/off-grid capabilities and traditional RV creature comforts!
Agreed. Some really neat features but IMO winter camping might be a stretch (unless folks are already used to camping in the winter…). Price is another issue but since it’s nearly all alum, I can sorta see why! And 3D printed walls? Seems like an expensive way to go (unless they assume these are bespoke or low-volume that don’t justify forms/dies)
The suspension looks like a cc of the HQ Black Series so does the use of two spares and front storage. I know it is hard to design something different for an off-road TT but they definitely stuck to ideas that worked for the competition. Not sure about the current pricing of the HQs but it sounds like the Pause is going for a close proximity to it. I do like that the frame here appears to be 8ft and therefore wider than the HQ. I would love to have either one so competition from a domestic manufacturer is definitely going to be good for the end users.
I love it, some of the features are awesome! But at over $100k each… yikes! The bunk/table design alone deserves an award! Simple functionality is pure perfection.
The guy giving the tour, reminds me of a guy I knew years ago. During his job interview, when asked for one of his strengths, he said, " I'm a good talker"
I never would’ve associated Palomino with such an innovative and high end offering, kudos to them for pushing the envelope! Don’t tell us you didn’t record the video of hitting the wall with a sledgehammer!?
I love seeing these new innovative trailers. I hope you can show us some more in the future. I like the 3d printed walls, the aluminum features and the full outdoor kitchen design. Lots of light too. I’d be intrigued to see this in a barebones lightweight truck camper. *hint hint palomino
Swap the shower curtain for a retractable screen, one that is self cleaning. I'd prefer a normal shaped sink inside, for big dishes that don't fit into the tiny little outdoor one.
I love the outside! The inside would have been nice when my kid was small and I was younger. Not quite what I'd use today but I love the paint job and the outdoor kitchen 😍
Honestly, would like to see non-solar options. Adds substantial cost where an ultra quiet generator and/or hookup works just fine and is reliable regardless of tree cover, cloud cover, nighttime, etc. Beautiful setup, but targeted for the few.
Currently we have an overland trailer with RTT that is towed by our diesel Rubicon. We don’t rock crawl, we just don’t want to be on pavement or in an RV park. I recently had been considering moving to a small Super C 4x4 but this trailer and a well equipped 3/4 ton truck would be more useful for us.
3/4 Ton Tremor or Power Wagons would be perfect trucks for a unit like this. I like the direction they are headed. We are 3 months into our overland trip in a 4x4 class B now. The space this offers would great, bit I could see the difficulty towing this into some of the places we have been. I wish the video touched bases on the hitch and what system they plan on using there.
The overland camper paradox. The more gear and steel and ground clearance you add to a camper, the harder it becomes to actually pull it down a rough trail. I can't imagine trying to maneuver this behemoth down anything more than a forest service road. Especially when the tow vehicle needs to be a large truck.
Can you imagine having to back up for that 1/4 mile to let someone pass going the other way? Not to mention trying to get turned around on the trail because you need to go back the way you came.
On the first Trailer it does have some nice features but only the kitchen outside is a total miss. Then with the vanity in the main space I would feel like I’m staying in a bathroom all the time. I think this layout will be a hard sale.
Strong first effort. The price is a tough sell so they will have to really, really drive awareness for what the buyer is paying for above other upmarket overland trailers. A 24' or so to accommodate a couple kids/family at these prices would help make the investment case to families.
I’ve worked in the industry for 35 years and it’s good to see someone doing something different and being bold. Too many cookie cutter RV’s. They all are very similar and show no sense of design innovation or use of technology. Quality has always been this industry’s Achilles heel. Getting a well built one is a crap shoot but it’s getting better. Always buy with warranty in mind and ask if they have an actual company location for warranty work to be done by actual company employees that don’t do anything but make repairs. You don’t want the same people fixing a unit that may have caused the problem in the first place. Good dealers often have good service too so ask them as well. Good luck and happy camping.
It’s a nice looking pull behind. I’m not impressed with wraps or any type of adhesive designs due to their short lifespan. The cost to replace them would be ridiculously high. 5 years goes by fast. I like the suspension and the bathroom. The storage in the rear of the first unit is nice. Convert the rodbox to be cabinets inside the camper and hand the rods on secured brackets in the rear storage compartment wall. It looks as though many items items attached to the outside could be easily stolen while you may be stopped and away from the vehicle, as when at a grocery store, restaurant, etc. it has a lot of potential though. The price is astronomical. It’s priced higher than just about any pickup truck a person would buy to tow it with. That’s more than an F-350 Platinum Dually 4x4. Seating inside is not desirable to weather out the storm. I like that it’s all aluminum. The frame is all bolted together and not welded. What is used to seal the joints of the walls to the roof and floor of these campers and what kind of maintenance is necessary?
At 1:20 he says it isn't thermally bound together, it's heated together. Thank God! Thermal never works - but HEAT! That's the sign of good quality. It's like saying it's not redundant, its just a bunch of different ways to do the same exact thing.
That's a sweet trailer! They built it to last and boondock wherever desirable. I'm hearing that the prices MSRP around the 130 mark, but worth every penny in my opinion. If I didn't just buy a new 1/2 ton, I'd give this one some serious consideration!! Great video!
Finally, a US trailer company embracing the Aussie awesomeness. I'm not sure why RV makers keep putting in TVs, I know I wouldn't want a TV in my trailer. Also, both models do not offer additional sleeping for kids.
Love love love the .3...kind of don't get the .2 but different strokes for different folks. I'd much rather have this and a truck than an expensive van!
I question the actual overland capabilities of this, not so much in terms of the trailer. What kind of vehicle do people overland in mostly? Tacoma, chevy colorado, jeeps, rangers, and some off road capable 1/2 ton pick ups. This thing i guarantee will be to heavy for the mid size group of trucks. Two 30 pound propane tanks in the front will probably easily make the tongue weight close to 800 pounds. Then add overlanding gear and equipment. And how many people will overland in the correct vehicle for this which is probably a 3/4 ton pick up. Bad marketing for overlanding imo.
True, that’s a lot of weight, but these are meant for fire roads, getting you out to your hunting/camping area. These aren’t in the jeep trail league, only an idiot would take a $100k trailer, towed with a close to $100k truck into an environment that few tow trucks would be able to go. I’m just glad that it apparently can handle a slightly rocky trail or fire road. That alone is good!
@@SignalCorps1 I’m glad you said that the F 150 tremor should be able to tow. I was going to ask why miles said f-350. Miles also did a lot of jump cuts. He might not see this message thanks to your comment. LOL
Interesting concept but seems to be for a niche market. The idea of having your galley/kitchen strictly outside has some terrible disadvantages. 1. You must go outside every time you want something rain/snow or middle of night. 2. If there are bear or other predators you must close and lock up the kitchen. 3. That Porcelain bathroom oversize sink looked impractical and a bit ridiculous for camping. Though-wise interesting concept that needs tweaking
The outdoor kitchen is typical for small and off-road RVs. Not too different from tent camping. Regardless, they have several floor plans. The second one in the video has an indoor kitchen instead of the big vanity.
Apparently they are replacing that large indoor sink at the center of the counter with an under-counter one to the left and a stove to the right. That video didn't specify about adding an accompanying indoor fridge.
I liked the second one better with one kitchen inside and one outside. A lot of cool things, but I would like to see less weight. I'm probably not the market for it since it's way out of my price range, but maybe some features will filter into other trailers.
No doubt the Pause checks a lot (if not all) the boxes for those that want the ability to travel and camp comfortably anywhere in an RV. For those that just want to RV it is overkill. Hence, the one hiccup is the price point. Projected at $100k I think most consumers will just go for the Black Series, or cheaper (but just as good) Ember Overland Series. Or settle for the Jayco Micro, Geo Pro, or Winnie Hike for a fraction of the cost (and arguably less well-built). For $100k for a 8000 lbs camper is getting into the above avg price point. We shall see though.
This really is quite a new concept. I would like to see the whole travel trailer industry to 1. move way from propane altogether; and 2. move the cooking area outside as this RV has. I'm positive doing to would result in way, way less travel trailers going up in flames from propane-related fires.
I was looking at a black series. This does seem nicer in a lot of repects. I like the bigger tv in .2, but like the indoor kitchen in the .3. Outdoor kitchen can be nice, except when its to hot/cold/raining/windy etc. Definitely something to keep an eye on
I think it has great components and ideas that hopefully bleed into other models (the same way an S-class pioneers tech years ahead of entry level cars). But it's a solution looking for a problem. It's so large (especially when combined with a full sized truck) that even taking it on most fire roads and backcountry will be a challenge. Yes the larger capacities will allow you to go off grid for longer but chances are this will be more of a show piece seen at much the same places bloated class A busses already go. This might do better in Australia but don't think it will be a hit in North America
What about the insulation? What kind? Where is it? How thick is it? Can you put full size tires on it (like 33's or 35's)? Can you customize it to a certain degree, add stuff and take away other things? For that price it should have a certain degree of customizaton. Where's the battery storage? To many questions unanswered. I like the concept and it's actually something I would be interested in.
I wouldn't buy one way out of our price range, but with that said I like the second trailer better than the first. The indoor kitchen with a real sink was the seller for me. The first one was trying to hard to put everything in it, 2 refigs both outside hope it doesn't rain for more than 1/2 a day. Anyway nice video thanks for showing us.
I can't afford it but the 20.2 speak my name. Probably if they option some lockable doors where the rod holders are, a perfect fishing/hunting/outdoorsmen RV. Just offer the option of another rod holder or long gun rack with some form of security. The best thing is that is rugged but you will not miss home comforts. With the 20.3 big fridge, you can boondock easily for 3 weeks if there is a source of water. Can you be so kind as soon as you have the data, to update the video with the specs table for each trailer? I assume these are between 26-30ft long. It is not at the same level but it reminds me the Australian RV Bruder.
I’ve seen a lot of these features in Australian built travel trailers, and European models, good to see American manufacturers taken notice. I especially like the suspension and the ability to lower the unit at the campsite. I would like to see manufacturers go to more lightweight units, such as the Livin Lite units were, with gas prices the way they. I would have to say the awning is a great one.
the big problem might be the Garmin system. I own several Garmin devices and NONE of them work as advertised. The Garmin RV GPS isn't worth the powder to blow it to hell. the FREE GPS on my phone out preforms it by far.
This is the future of RVs, the industry needs to wake up, a lot of what they learned with the Pause, will inevitably creep into the rest of the industry! Unfortunately those that ignor this innovation, will be left behind!!!!
Sooooooo I’m washing my dishes outside in the winter???? That interior sink is pretty but lacks functionality. Love the ground clearance and the spare cargo area for fishing and hunting gear . Is that area heated for drying waders and such?
It’s a far cry from what the RV industry has thrown out there in comparison to what Australia has given buyers there. I don’t think their design people have used or lived in trailer or RV the mount of storage inside ( not taking into account the storage you have outside) is small. 1600 lbs of cargo capacity is weak. No silverware drawer, too many sky light’s which reduces area for addition solar up top, not enough room to store overhead of the bed because there is a sky light. It’s a nice weekend RV that can go overland. But check the floorplan of lotus or royal field caravan in AU and you will see how far off we still are. But this is a great first release. I like the composite structure the independent suspension, the power system the collaboration with Garmin, I would Like to see disc brakes though…. Lots of great innovations for US made trailers 😊
I think it's a pretty nice rig for sure, little on the small side but that's okay, the deal breaker for me would be there's no solar powered air conditioner
Pretty amazing unit. Personally, there is zero chance of me ever buying that. For the person that is looking for something like this, it is BAD A$$!!! Id love to see some of that technology in the rest of the industry moving forward. Honestly, I can't imagine them selling very many of them, for a number of reasons, weight, price, and geography. Something like this is for deserts of Utah, Cali, Colorado, place like that. Living east of the Mississippi River, I have my doubts if I will ever see one with my own two eyes. Mr. Epperson was right though, I am blown away.
Looks very nice but what I have seen of the other overland designs out there are a lot of problems & complaints... be interesting to see how this rolls out.....honestly Id really just love to see a high quality build, fit, & finish (*actual quality* not the same as pretty looking or just simply over priced) in a compact travel trailer.🤷♀️
This is pretty cool although I would guess the popularity of the new Ember trailers influenced this build. Lots of similarities. They took it a step further.
We were sold on Ember until we actually went into several....the interior finishing and quality was really disappointing....looked great in pics but not irl
What was the Puma trailer behind the Pause XC20.2 that had the rooftop tent on it? Thanks for the video on this trailer...with a trailer so sharp, how are there only 2 videos on UA-cam of those units???!!!
LOVE how this guy explained the terms / parts.. "What that means is..." -awesome !
It’s a very nice trailer, with tons of good features.
I like the all aluminum/composite , no wood construction.
It’s definitely geared toward young over-landers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
At 7,000 lbs., and over $100,000, it’s really not practical or realistic for most folks.
To each his own, though.
My perfect travel trailer would be an Airstream Bambi 16’, with a lift kit. Unfortunately for me, that is way over my price range.
Our compromise is a new Casita Independence 17’.
The factory installed lift kit will handle any off grid camping we’re likely to attempt.
The kitchen, bathroom, and entertainment system are all indoors, where we like them.
It’s small enough to fit into any campsite, and light enough to be towed by a half-ton truck or SUV.
We’re selling our 2014 Keystone Passport 23’ RB Elite. We’re tired of dragging around all that weight.
Agreed. Off road trailer should be light, narrow, and low profile, otherwise it is just gimmicks.
Yeah, it's a really nice trailer but for $100,000 it should be. My dream one would be the Bruder EXP6. That is a really really nice trailer but it is manufactured/shipped from Australia. But if you are looking for a really nice off road camper for the entire family, including pets, the Black Series campers are the way to go and the HQ19 is under $100,000.
The construction is amazing, The trailer it sits on is amazing. No wood to rot, good solar system. But the inside of that trailer is absolutely impractical, for anything other than taking a shower and, showing it off to your friends.
Where are you going to cook? Outside 100% of the time that's going to get old really fast. It's basically a fancy bathroom with a bed in it.
That is so impractical it's laughable. So when it's raining snowing, wind blowing a hundred miles per hour. I've been on the road for hours and I just want to eat a hot meal and go to bed I get to cook out side, then walk inside a bathroom without a table, and wash my dishes in a stupid bathroom style basin sink? Then why am I towing this big thing? I could have cooked out of the back of my truck?
I could have washed dishes in a bucket easier than that sink inside. All this is is a 7000 lb shower room with a bed in it.
Makes absolutely no sense. Great construction, great features, horribly executed design.
Biggest thing I question is whether you could live in it in cooler weather all those big windows he never talks about heating or cooling systems?
I think this is a shameless money grab for people that want to be overlanders. And have the money to buy their way into it or at least what they think being an overlander looks like.
Completely unrealistic for 97% of consumers.....
Thanks for the summary - just saw the preview and wondered how heavy it would be. This bloody market right now....
1:23..."It's not thermally bonded together, it's actually heated together". Mm',Kay.
Dillon lost his dictionary 🤣
Thermal vs Heat bonding? 🤔 I'm at a loss to understand the difference. 👀
Yep, I caught that too!
You know thermal is for when they assemble it at night and heat is for day time assembly.
Say what?
This reminds of an Australian brand whose name escapes me at the moment. This is definitely something built for a niche market. At $140k, I'd get myself a 5th wheel toy hauler. Two different intended purposes, but for that kind of money I want the space to go with it.
Australian have been building these for years and have a long history with over landing caravans and vehicles. Nice to see the US starting to build these type of caravans, looks nice and hope they do well.
Firstly, I have to agree with Josh the RV Nerd. Outside speakers at the top of the RV makes no sense at all. Why blast the neighbors? Granted, this will not likely be used in an actual campgrounds very often. Still, my own bluetooth speakers are my preferred option.

Other than that, I love the rest of the camper! All aluminum makes so much sense. And the kitchens are so well thought out.
Also, I've been wondering when a manufacturer was going to offer a wrap instead of an unnecessarily expensive paint job.
Good job Pause!
I don't disagree about speakers. Especially on tall fifth wheels. At least on this one they're a real brand and closer to your ears since it's not a very tall trailer. Unfortunately there are a lot of customers who no outdoor speakers is a dealbreaker for. It's really dumb.
I thought the same thing when I saw that silly sink. It barely has any concavity to it!
Wait, “it’s not thermally bonded, it’s panels are heated together”? 😳 The salesman makes me skeptical. But the cameras, storage, gun racks, windows, usable outside shelves, tables and storage, all make this a fascinating option that I want to know more about.
I caught that too.
I think he meant that the panels are a solid thermally formed piece instead of layers that are thermally bonded like in a typical fiberglass RV
@@RVMiles - Understandable, thanks!
@@Erin-Thor That's Correct the TransCore laminated panels are heat bonded thermally fused with no adhesives.
My thoughts exactly on the panels..lol
That is wild. Lockable pantry, LOL, yeah right. So many features. Love the 3D printed walls. Love so many of the ideas.
Forest River doesn’t have a enviable track record recently when it comes to build quality. That’s going to be difficult to overcome when trying to induce someone to plunk down $100K on a travel trailer. That said, I love the use of lightweight interior materials instead of clunky wood and wonder why more manufacturers haven’t gone down that path.
I agree , American manufacturing is suspect to quality . 👍🤛
Can you say Embassy R V?🙏
i looked at the comments and once I saw the price, I knew this entire video was brought to you by Fantasyland.
Looks very much like this was inspired by HQ Black Series. If so then the pricing is not competitive IMO. But nice to see more manufacturers offering "off-road" TT designs.
Purdy darn innovative trailers. I really like how they are built, and played out. I wouldn't mind pulling it behind my Power Wagon
Yes the Pause 20.2 is a def for me camper the printed outdoor pattern is spectacular, finally an outdoor print. Thanx for the info both were very nice
These, Black Series and Ember RV signal a new overlander trend but my BIG hope is a much better industry standard in quality of build! Quality has been the victim of quantity sales in the RV industry for far too long!
Love the Embers!
Really copying Australian Hybrid Caravans
Pretty cool design with high end construction features. I agree it would be nice to see these walls and other components find there way into other models
Very cool trailers. Out of most people price range, but you can see other manufacturers starting to go this direction. A lot of cool stuff going in.
We pull a 18' nuCamp t@b 400 boon dock light trailer with either a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Ford F-150 5.0. We've been overlanding with it since 2019 with our longest trip being 3 months from FL to Alaska and home. Just a couple of comments; first it is def a nice rig but at 7000 lbs empty, you would have to be very smart when it comes to the right tow vehicle. The camera on the rear is a backup or rear viewing camera and not necessarily a security camera when stationary. Love the idea of outdoor kitchens and they are great when the weather is nice but realistically it's fair to expect raining days, so it'll suck having to cook outside, plus there is no table setup for eating inside. I don't remember him mentioning anything about batteries, but for the prices they are asking, they should come with lithium. Lastly, its Forest River and they've taken quite a few quality control hits in the last year or so. Would be nice to see them turn it around. I wonder if the design experts ever query their audience/users to get a feeling for what they would want? I know when we were looking for a small trailer my wife had several "can't do without" points; a quite and efficient heating and cooling system, close to a queen size bed as possible, separate eating area so we didn't have to put the bed up to sit, a kitchen that you can actually cook in and a shower/toilet. I'll be honest and say at first i wanted an outdoor kitchen and was happy with an outdoor shower. After camping in desert heat and snow I have to say I'm so glad I listened to my wife. Plus the rig we got is around 3100 loaded and cost a 1/4 of this rig. It really comes down to what sort of camping you want to do - suggest renting different rigs to figure that out if needed and how deep your pockets are.
Not my style, but I'm glad that Forest River is stirring up the market with some fresh thinking. The emphasis on quality and durability is good to see too.
I have been full time in an Airstream Basecamp 20X for the past 18 months. Like my trailer but have to admit that even Airstream has some design and quality issues. However, every time I look at the traditional American made trailers on the market I am very glad for my AS. The Basecamp is supposed to be AS’s version of an off road trailer but it is not even close to this unit or the other American made overlanders such as the Imperial Trailers Xplore series. I was in Breckenridge, CO this past January/February for 30 days. Every night was sub zero even getting as cold as -30! Days were Colorado sunny and much warmer. Used heated water house that worked well but the pipes froze and I did a DYI insulation that worked pretty well. The pipes were next to the wall (aluminum!) and over the wheel well which was a very bad design. The final problem was tank ejection pipes freezing. Tanks had heaters but the pipes that provide the ability to dump froze. Fix that with a propane tank mounted heater and tent (to contain the heat) made out of Reflectix. Recently found a better solution with a “gun” heater that has forced air and connects to a propane tank. Works great. Bottom line, to get the type of overland trailer that can withstand extreme temps, provide sufficient battery power for A/C, tanks large enough for a week of boondocking and some other necessary features you are going to have to pay $125-$150K. I am just glad that there are now some American mfgs that are focusing on quality. I may be upgrading soon.
Wow, it seems like this last year has pushed designer to new level's, Loving it
Yes, so many of us are going out to get one of these in the middle of this recession. I just filled up my Subaru it cost 65$ for regular gas. It's a glorified tin can. A lot of people are going to be hard up just figuring out how they are going to heat their home this winter. 😞
timing is pretty bad with stock market crashing, interest rates going up, and the general cost of living going sky high.
@@Desertfox92308 Agreed, why do we continue to see new RV products that the average consumer cannot afford. A lot of “UA-cam” stars do the same thing. Most families don’t care about this, most are worried about where their next meal is coming from, not spending 100K on a RV.
Yes. $100K+ for this and another $70K+ for a RAM Power Wagon type rig to tow it with. This class of camper is a luxury item.
But then, no one ever said that RVing was a budget way to live.
I think these are a pretty cool design. I’m glad that you and Dillon were able to show these Pauses to us. Very nice and bathrooms are nice. Thank you Jason for showing these Pauses. Hope you have a great week. See you soon!
Over 100K?!?!?!? No chance! Have fun fellas 😂😂😂
Nice. But will the fridge work longer than 3 months? Will the awning mother-board work past 7 months? Will the hot water heater really produce hot water longer than a month after purchase? Will the roof caulking last more than a summer without cracking and leaking? Are the outlets wired correctly? But I digress - maybe the RV industry has repaired its poor workmanship and supply chain problems by introducing another over-the-top model. Cha-ching...
they should be able to focus on quality control and slow down the assembly line. This is an expensive, low volume trailer. If not, 100% agree with everything you stated.
Ya but it’s not thermally bonded together, it’s actually heated together.
So… they do seem to be streamlining the process at least.
It’s a Forest River so probably not.
Yeah and way to expensive. It cost more then my 44.5 5th wheel toy hauler by forest river. XLR Thunderbolt with full body paint.
Agreed. We exported our inflation to Asia for 20 years and now we’re exporting it to product quality and life span. I’m in my late 30’s and I remember when a weed eater lasted a decade and didn’t fall apart just after the 1 year warranty. My dad still uses the meta Radio Flyer wagons for gardening 20 years after his 4 sons used and abused them. Now they’re made of it plastic. Most all brands are making cheaper. I’m sick of buying s*** with 5 stars and is junk, even if it’s cheap and gets there the next day. They’re going to have to start have reputations for the quality again or I’m rarely going to make discretionary purchases without doubting the quality by default.
Like it a lot.
Would do the interior kitchen version. Too many mosquitoes most places we go to do extensive cooking outside.
and would shrink the bathroom sink (fashion over function on that design) and improve the counterspace in the bathroom.
they didn't talk much about the insulation. Good on the double pane windows.
I always love to see RV manufactures thinking outside the box (pardon the pun), and these have some really innovative features. The first floorplan went really overboard on the outdoor kitchen(s) with basically two exterior refrigerators and no interior kitchen...that wouldn't be much fun if winter camping. I'd also love to know what the high/low temperature rating is for these Pause units? They've also really "borrowed" a lot of inspiration from Ember RVs...the Euro windows and skylight(s), the front cargo box, the off-road suspension, etc., although these appear to be more geared towards the hardcore overlanding community, and Ember is building more for traditional RVers who want to get off-road and off-grid. Also, Embers currently top out around $60K, even with 600w Max Solar, but are very off-road capable and are 0-100-degree rated, and their MSL models offer really innovated storage/configuration flexibility. Besides the much more reasonable price tag, I prefer Ember's balance between off-road/off-grid capabilities and traditional RV creature comforts!
Same Steve.
Agreed. Some really neat features but IMO winter camping might be a stretch (unless folks are already used to camping in the winter…). Price is another issue but since it’s nearly all alum, I can sorta see why! And 3D printed walls? Seems like an expensive way to go (unless they assume these are bespoke or low-volume that don’t justify forms/dies)
I'd really love to know what you think of the Pause. Those walls really are nearly indestructible, and it has a full diamond-plate underbelly!
The suspension looks like a cc of the HQ Black Series so does the use of two spares and front storage. I know it is hard to design something different for an off-road TT but they definitely stuck to ideas that worked for the competition. Not sure about the current pricing of the HQs but it sounds like the Pause is going for a close proximity to it. I do like that the frame here appears to be 8ft and therefore wider than the HQ. I would love to have either one so competition from a domestic manufacturer is definitely going to be good for the end users.
I love it, some of the features are awesome! But at over $100k each… yikes! The bunk/table design alone deserves an award! Simple functionality is pure perfection.
Way too heavy and with $100k price tags that out of the park pricing. Black series is still $20cheaper and that’s after importing them.
However these are soo new i can’t even find these trailers on palomino’s web site.
@@brotherheed00 - I’m tempted to say they hit pause ⏸, (or 🐾) but instead I’ll just remind you that it’s a prototype. 😎👍🏽
6:34 to see the interior. No, I don't look at the foundation first when I buy a house. First, I want to see if the family will fit inside.
The guy giving the tour, reminds me of a guy I knew years ago. During his job interview, when asked for one of his strengths, he said, " I'm a good talker"
Hmm... Cold weather camping? Battery system? Inverter? Heating? lots of questions.
400ah of renogy lithium standard, 3000w inverter. Not sure about the type of furnace.
I never would’ve associated Palomino with such an innovative and high end offering, kudos to them for pushing the envelope! Don’t tell us you didn’t record the video of hitting the wall with a sledgehammer!?

I love seeing these new innovative trailers. I hope you can show us some more in the future. I like the 3d printed walls, the aluminum features and the full outdoor kitchen design. Lots of light too. I’d be intrigued to see this in a barebones lightweight truck camper. *hint hint palomino
WAY TOO HEAVY! Looking for something to go in the backcountry with my TRD Pro. Nothing beats a solid aluminum weld - certainly not "huk" rivets.
Swap the shower curtain for a retractable screen, one that is self cleaning. I'd prefer a normal shaped sink inside, for big dishes that don't fit into the tiny little outdoor one.
Love the windows! They should all be made like that.nice overall build,just super!
I love the outside! The inside would have been nice when my kid was small and I was younger. Not quite what I'd use today but I love the paint job and the outdoor kitchen 😍
I would love one at a price point close to 30k for a small towable that seems reasonable
I'm loving it ! I may have to consider, going smaller. Whata trailer
Honestly, would like to see non-solar options. Adds substantial cost where an ultra quiet generator and/or hookup works just fine and is reliable regardless of tree cover, cloud cover, nighttime, etc.
Beautiful setup, but targeted for the few.
Currently we have an overland trailer with RTT that is towed by our diesel Rubicon. We don’t rock crawl, we just don’t want to be on pavement or in an RV park. I recently had been considering moving to a small Super C 4x4 but this trailer and a well equipped 3/4 ton truck would be more useful for us.
3/4 Ton Tremor or Power Wagons would be perfect trucks for a unit like this. I like the direction they are headed. We are 3 months into our overland trip in a 4x4 class B now. The space this offers would great, bit I could see the difficulty towing this into some of the places we have been. I wish the video touched bases on the hitch and what system they plan on using there.
Someone who gets it. Yeah - so the hitch isn't final, right now it articulates up and down, but the final version will be a fully articulating.
@RV Miles Who gets it? The trailer is way too heavy.
@@kathylong9087 nah. It's robust and that costs weight.
The overland camper paradox. The more gear and steel and ground clearance you add to a camper, the harder it becomes to actually pull it down a rough trail.
I can't imagine trying to maneuver this behemoth down anything more than a forest service road. Especially when the tow vehicle needs to be a large truck.
Can you imagine having to back up for that 1/4 mile to let someone pass going the other way? Not to mention trying to get turned around on the trail because you need to go back the way you came.
@@garretlewis4103 Exactly.
At least it'll clear up the overhanging branches for everyone else. 😂
On the first Trailer it does have some nice features but only the kitchen outside is a total miss. Then with the vanity in the main space I would feel like I’m staying in a bathroom all the time. I think this layout will be a hard sale.
Strong first effort. The price is a tough sell so they will have to really, really drive awareness for what the buyer is paying for above other upmarket overland trailers. A 24' or so to accommodate a couple kids/family at these prices would help make the investment case to families.
I love it but I am 5’ and wondered the SAME - there is NO way I could cook on that outdoor kitchen! Haha Love the rest of it!
Looks like a solid unit. The counter top bathroom sink is too big resulting in a loss of at least some counter space.
The one thing not mentioned that is HUGELY important is battery power, how much and what manufacturer? Very nice travel trailer!!!
I’ve worked in the industry for 35 years and it’s good to see someone doing something different and being bold. Too many cookie cutter RV’s. They all are very similar and show no sense of design innovation or use of technology. Quality has always been this industry’s Achilles heel. Getting a well built one is a crap shoot but it’s getting better. Always buy with warranty in mind and ask if they have an actual company location for warranty work to be done by actual company employees that don’t do anything but make repairs. You don’t want the same people fixing a unit that may have caused the problem in the first place. Good dealers often have good service too so ask them as well. Good luck and happy camping.
Love the cabinets and all is aluminum sounds and looks like a sturdy achine
Machine. Solid great boondocks off the grid camper
It’s a nice looking pull behind. I’m not impressed with wraps or any type of adhesive designs due to their short lifespan. The cost to replace them would be ridiculously high. 5 years goes by fast.
I like the suspension and the bathroom. The storage in the rear of the first unit is nice.
Convert the rodbox to be cabinets inside the camper and hand the rods on secured brackets in the rear storage compartment wall.
It looks as though many items items attached to the outside could be easily stolen while you may be stopped and away from the vehicle, as when at a grocery store, restaurant, etc.
it has a lot of potential though.
The price is astronomical. It’s priced higher than just about any pickup truck a person would buy to tow it with. That’s more than an F-350 Platinum Dually 4x4.
Seating inside is not desirable to weather out the storm.
I like that it’s all aluminum. The frame is all bolted together and not welded.
What is used to seal the joints of the walls to the roof and floor of these campers and what kind of maintenance is necessary?
At 1:20 he says it isn't thermally bound together, it's heated together. Thank God! Thermal never works - but HEAT! That's the sign of good quality. It's like saying it's not redundant, its just a bunch of different ways to do the same exact thing.
Nice to see they are changing focus to long lasting quality in place of disposable. Should have awesome resale value.
Wow! Have a Sprinter View Preview. This unit would compel me to think seriously about changing my travel mode.
That's a sweet trailer! They built it to last and boondock wherever desirable. I'm hearing that the prices MSRP around the 130 mark, but worth every penny in my opinion. If I didn't just buy a new 1/2 ton, I'd give this one some serious consideration!! Great video!
Seems more and more that overlanding is an activity for the affluent.
Forest River is building this? Could some of these features trickle down to the No Bo line? Please?
Finally, a US trailer company embracing the Aussie awesomeness. I'm not sure why RV makers keep putting in TVs, I know I wouldn't want a TV in my trailer. Also, both models do not offer additional sleeping for kids.
Spot on about copying Australian Off Roaders
Love love love the .3...kind of don't get the .2 but different strokes for different folks. I'd much rather have this and a truck than an expensive van!
I question the actual overland capabilities of this, not so much in terms of the trailer. What kind of vehicle do people overland in mostly? Tacoma, chevy colorado, jeeps, rangers, and some off road capable 1/2 ton pick ups. This thing i guarantee will be to heavy for the mid size group of trucks. Two 30 pound propane tanks in the front will probably easily make the tongue weight close to 800 pounds. Then add overlanding gear and equipment. And how many people will overland in the correct vehicle for this which is probably a 3/4 ton pick up. Bad marketing for overlanding imo.
I agree. A F150 Tremor would be ideal for this, but there aren’t many of those out there
True, that’s a lot of weight, but these are meant for fire roads, getting you out to your hunting/camping area. These aren’t in the jeep trail league, only an idiot would take a $100k trailer, towed with a close to $100k truck into an environment that few tow trucks would be able to go. I’m just glad that it apparently can handle a slightly rocky trail or fire road. That alone is good!
@@SignalCorps1 I’m glad you said that the F 150 tremor should be able to tow. I was going to ask why miles said f-350. Miles also did a lot of jump cuts. He might not see this message thanks to your comment. LOL
This thing weighs 7,000 lbs empty!
@@lamarwilliams185 it will be on the limit for an f150 tremor
Interesting concept but seems to be for a niche market. The idea of having your galley/kitchen strictly outside has some terrible disadvantages. 1. You must go outside every time you want something rain/snow or middle of night.
2. If there are bear or other predators you must close and lock up the kitchen.
3. That Porcelain bathroom oversize sink looked impractical and a bit ridiculous for camping. Though-wise interesting concept that needs tweaking
The outdoor kitchen is typical for small and off-road RVs. Not too different from tent camping. Regardless, they have several floor plans. The second one in the video has an indoor kitchen instead of the big vanity.
Apparently they are replacing that large indoor sink at the center of the counter with an under-counter one to the left and a stove to the right. That video didn't specify about adding an accompanying indoor fridge.
I liked the second one better with one kitchen inside and one outside. A lot of cool things, but I would like to see less weight. I'm probably not the market for it since it's way out of my price range, but maybe some features will filter into other trailers.
For the money Airstream wants, it would be truly nice to see this type of innovation added to uphold their motto.
No doubt the Pause checks a lot (if not all) the boxes for those that want the ability to travel and camp comfortably anywhere in an RV. For those that just want to RV it is overkill. Hence, the one hiccup is the price point. Projected at $100k I think most consumers will just go for the Black Series, or cheaper (but just as good) Ember Overland Series. Or settle for the Jayco Micro, Geo Pro, or Winnie Hike for a fraction of the cost (and arguably less well-built). For $100k for a 8000 lbs camper is getting into the above avg price point. We shall see though.
This camper is incredible! I wish there were more with twin bed options.
This really is quite a new concept. I would like to see the whole travel trailer industry to 1. move way from propane altogether; and 2. move the cooking area outside as this RV has. I'm positive doing to would result in way, way less travel trailers going up in flames from propane-related fires.
I was looking at a black series. This does seem nicer in a lot of repects. I like the bigger tv in .2, but like the indoor kitchen in the .3. Outdoor kitchen can be nice, except when its to hot/cold/raining/windy etc. Definitely something to keep an eye on
I like the Ember Rv's alot as well.
I think it has great components and ideas that hopefully bleed into other models (the same way an S-class pioneers tech years ahead of entry level cars). But it's a solution looking for a problem. It's so large (especially when combined with a full sized truck) that even taking it on most fire roads and backcountry will be a challenge. Yes the larger capacities will allow you to go off grid for longer but chances are this will be more of a show piece seen at much the same places bloated class A busses already go. This might do better in Australia but don't think it will be a hit in North America
I would for sure use that lockable space as a pantry....
That suspension! 😍
Looks like a great full time rig! Love it!
What about the insulation? What kind? Where is it? How thick is it? Can you put full size tires on it (like 33's or 35's)? Can you customize it to a certain degree, add stuff and take away other things? For that price it should have a certain degree of customizaton. Where's the battery storage? To many questions unanswered. I like the concept and it's actually something I would be interested in.
I wouldn't buy one way out of our price range, but with that said I like the second trailer better than the first. The indoor kitchen with a real sink was the seller for me. The first one was trying to hard to put everything in it, 2 refigs both outside hope it doesn't rain for more than 1/2 a day. Anyway nice video thanks for showing us.
Great video!! Very informative, and well put together.
Yes, no wood! I’ve only seen this on one other RV. I love the Aluminum cabinets
I can't afford it but the 20.2 speak my name. Probably if they option some lockable doors where the rod holders are, a perfect fishing/hunting/outdoorsmen RV. Just offer the option of another rod holder or long gun rack with some form of security.
The best thing is that is rugged but you will not miss home comforts.
With the 20.3 big fridge, you can boondock easily for 3 weeks if there is a source of water.
Can you be so kind as soon as you have the data, to update the video with the specs table for each trailer?
I assume these are between 26-30ft long.
It is not at the same level but it reminds me the Australian RV Bruder.
I’ve seen a lot of these features in Australian built travel trailers, and European models, good to see American manufacturers taken notice. I especially like the suspension and the ability to lower the unit at the campsite. I would like to see manufacturers go to more lightweight units, such as the Livin Lite units were, with gas prices the way they. I would have to say the awning is a great one.
the big problem might be the Garmin system. I own several Garmin devices and NONE of them work as advertised. The Garmin RV GPS isn't worth the powder to blow it to hell. the FREE GPS on my phone out preforms it by far.
Well...I'll tell you, it's better than the Lippert system that ends up on most RVs.
@@RVMiles I love our Garmin InReach. ;)
Really cool to see such a substantial offering, but where's the king bed?
This is the future of RVs, the industry needs to wake up, a lot of what they learned with the Pause, will inevitably creep into the rest of the industry!
Unfortunately those that ignor this innovation, will be left behind!!!!
Sooooooo I’m washing my dishes outside in the winter???? That interior sink is pretty but lacks functionality. Love the ground clearance and the spare cargo area for fishing and hunting gear . Is that area heated for drying waders and such?
Omg… I’m in love. My only hang up… I question the bed comfort. And can I get my Salsa Cutthroat in the back storage area
It’s a far cry from what the RV industry has thrown out there in comparison to what Australia has given buyers there. I don’t think their design people have used or lived in trailer or RV the mount of storage inside ( not taking into account the storage you have outside) is small. 1600 lbs of cargo capacity is weak. No silverware drawer, too many sky light’s which reduces area for addition solar up top, not enough room to store overhead of the bed because there is a sky light. It’s a nice weekend RV that can go overland. But check the floorplan of lotus or royal field caravan in AU and you will see how far off we still are. But this is a great first release. I like the composite structure the independent suspension, the power system the collaboration with Garmin, I would
Like to see disc brakes though…. Lots of great innovations for US made trailers 😊
I think it's a pretty nice rig for sure, little on the small side but that's okay, the deal breaker for me would be there's no solar powered air conditioner
Pretty amazing unit. Personally, there is zero chance of me ever buying that. For the person that is looking for something like this, it is BAD A$$!!! Id love to see some of that technology in the rest of the industry moving forward. Honestly, I can't imagine them selling very many of them, for a number of reasons, weight, price, and geography. Something like this is for deserts of Utah, Cali, Colorado, place like that. Living east of the Mississippi River, I have my doubts if I will ever see one with my own two eyes. Mr. Epperson was right though, I am blown away.
I guess when I think overlanding, I think less is more. I have a hard time picturing this thing on tight trails...but, hey...to each their own.
Looks very nice but what I have seen of the other overland designs out there are a lot of problems & complaints... be interesting to see how this rolls out.....honestly Id really just love to see a high quality build, fit, & finish (*actual quality* not the same as pretty looking or just simply over priced) in a compact travel trailer.🤷♀️
Heard prices start around 100k... thats a huge number to take off road
love it, seems perfect. Much better than my Camplight
This is pretty cool although I would guess the popularity of the new Ember trailers influenced this build. Lots of similarities. They took it a step further.
My big disappointment with Ember is the inside. Looks just like every other bland RV. But they get a lot right.
We were sold on Ember until we actually went into several....the interior finishing and quality was really disappointing....looked great in pics but not irl
@@jessp.5588 That's sad to hear because I have been interested in them. Haven't been in one though.
The Embers are great units, I don't know if you saw the interior lit up but the one I camp in is phenomenal.
I hope this makes it to the market! This might be a winner if the quality and support are right, even if the price is a little high.
It's coming out at $138,000
What was the Puma trailer behind the Pause XC20.2 that had the rooftop tent on it? Thanks for the video on this trailer...with a trailer so sharp, how are there only 2 videos on UA-cam of those units???!!!
I love a good outdoor kitchen.
Really like the concept. A big problem I see is the wrap. One limb can wreck that beautiful exterior. Definitely need a toy hauler in this format.
I absolutely love it and would pull it behind our Ram 3500. However it won’t work for us, I’ve got 2 young boys and need places for them to sleep.
They have a bunkhouse floor plan coming!
I love it I hope it not too heavy as my defender can only tow 8200#’s but very interested
I like the Ember's because they are lighter.
cooking out side.....lmao..... nope
Bears should love that !
Rear access door model is my focus. I don t want a toy hauler I just want to use the walking space to store kayaks and bikes.
Commenters below price this MSRP at over $100k.
looks awesome!!! I love the storage for shotguns and fly rods. What about heating and cooling the inside?
Wowza, way beyond my Ember.
