Interesting concept. I wonder how the C is attached to the T and how the seal holds up when tweaking the frame?
I have no interest or connection with this ad. It's just for comparative use.

I've seen these before. What would be the difference between this and a van mounted C? I think I would prefer this truck mounted style.

It's a class C on a truck chassis instead of a van chassis. The benefit is you can have 4wd (if it were a 4wd model truck) without paying for an aftermarket conversion like would be necessary if you wanted 4wd on a van-based class C. Also, trucks are alot easier to service than vans since the engine is more accessible. Another benefit would be seating for 4 in the cab (if it were a crew cab model truck), with seatbelts on. I like it.

I would not call this a C, not sure what to call it but anything with that much power and grunt is not a C in my mind. That sucker would be cheap to operate if you make your own fuel.

It looks just like the Scotty from Serro, very nice brand that that started in 1957 and went out of business in 1997 when the factory was destroyed by fire, and never recovered. Recently an investor group bought the rights and are currently building new RV's. I really like the 1 ton pickup truck chassis mounted type of campers. Does anyone still make them?

I love this idea. It gives you all the benefits of a truck (power, seating, comfort, 4 wheel drive, etc) that you cannot get in a standard motorhome.

If I had the money this is what I would get My dream

I love the fact that you use all the space and the unit is part of the truck.

We have a local dealer here that carries a like model from Host (the same as the camper guys). I noticed a price on the windshield of one yesterday, and mind you this was a really big one with a crewcab Ford, but it was $166K. Ouch!!

It looks pretty sweet though.

It's a C like a cheaper version of a Earthroamer.
