KiraVan - The Best Outdoor Vehicle Ever?

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

When money is no object and only the best would do.

I thought LuLa should get one for a workshop support vehicle.  Wonder if we can find a way in the budget to allow for it.

With base price around €100,000 you may want to increase subscription and workshop prices…

You could also go with an Earth Roamerhttp://www.earthroamer.com. Made in Colorado on a Ford F550 truck.

I think I'll stay with my canoe, tent and Coleman stove, thanks.

The KiraVan sounds like just the thing for running down to the corner to mail a letter.

I've driven plenty of roads that would stop a KiraVan.  Low overhead clearance, tight curves, limited turnaround space... I'd like to see how badass the KiraVan is in some of my fav locations.

Not gonna work. There's no camera.

Plenty of lighting, tho.

If money IS an object, and utility comes before style, you can't beat a 30mpg Mercedes Sprinter.

Happy hour with "Frito", the potato chip truck. Somewhere along US 50 in Nevada.

And no 'order pizza' button!  WTF?!?

[stamper]

Some of the members here could do with one to house their egos?

I don't see the coffee mug holders in the cab.   ??

Apparently, there is a higher-level camera (literally), attached to, wait, wait... a drone, which you can send to check the traffic and road conditions ahead of the vehicle!

Yeah, but does it do HDR?

And how many terrapixels?

Back to earth... from Outside Magazine: "Our 24 Favorite Camper Vans"

[Colorado David]

There's a high percentage of VW Westy vans in that link.  The Earthroamers are very nice, self contained, trail-worthy vehicles.  But my favorite in the slideshow was the light green Land Rover Series IIA canvas top.

Budget version: Subaru Forester, camping gear, and feet.
If you need a monster like the Kira-van to get through terrain, I might suggest a smaller, nimbler, more temperamental vehicle - horse, mule, donkey.
