ECamper from Honda

[Ursa Minor]

Few months ago with little fanfare a nice couple had us build them a camper, and said they'd be doing some traveling. Well, they didn't mess around - they really did escape thier cubicles and are now checking out Nicaragua and points south. It's not hard-core off road stuff, but the miles are rolling by in places I've never been for sure. Check out www.thedarienplan.com or for you folks down that way, keep an eye out for a blue Ecamper!

The couple in the Ecamper just made it to the end of the road - Tierra del Fuego:

Goes to show you don't have to have a built-up Unicat or Earthroamer to get to some really cool places!

There is another couple traveling Central America in an Ecamper:

Great post!

I enjoyed their blog.

For anyone that followed Chris and Kristin's blog at www.thedarienplan.com the word is they'll be at Overland Expo presenting on their experiences on their trip down to Tierra del Fuego. If you haven't checked out their blog, it's a good read with some great photos.

Not sure if they're driving their Element to the show, but there will be an Ecamper at the Expo again if you want to see one up close.

Cheers,
John

Those Ecampers are nice. So neat to see ingenuitive designs.

I would LOVE to see one made for the Honda CR-V. Even with the rear seats removed, it's a bit short. There is a particular build that someone did for about $100 - http://rockclimbergirl.com/honda-cr-...onversion.html - the problem is it becoming a dedicated two-person camper with the rear seats removed. I would like to dedicate the Scout II as a camper instead - more room, perfectly flat bed, but my concern is gas mileage. I would have to budget for fuel as if I was budgeting for a medium-sized 6 or 8-cylinder RV platform. Too bad the CR-V is not exactly camper-friendly without major modifications.

how about an Ecamper built on a Ford Transit Connect?
