Scout campers just released their new model with mavericks in mind, pretty neat, price seems fair considering the market and build quality. Only weighs 600 LBS!!

Really? Just a box to sleep in? For $16K? Does not come with a kitchen, toilet, small cramped shower? Nothing? Wow...

at least this is lightweight and is worth the money>https://corvallis.craigslist.org/rvs/d/albany-nucamp-tab-trailer-2015/7621268176.html a lot more out there....
I mean you’re comparing apples to oranges, lots of people would prefer a slide in modular camper to a trailer, ya know the kinda people that don’t need a tiny shower or full kitchen crammed into a tiny space, and would rather cook/shower outdoors. The teardrop you linked is actually 1900 lbs which is over the tow rating for a hybrid maverick anyhow, the scout weighs 600 lbs, but if you know of any products that are actually comparable to the scout and fit a maverick, please post it, people on this forum are likely more interested in hearing about new products available for the mav and less about your personal opinion.

Go ahead, buy a fiberglass box with nothing in it ....for $16k...no one is stopping you.

I'm glad companies are willing to invest in making products for the Maverick but I'm also a little confused about the value proposition here. Help me understand. What is somebody looking for that would lead them to choose this over a lightweight trailer?

Side note - I thought the hybrid had a 2000 lbs tow rating?

$16,000!? There is so many more convenient smaller campers you can get for $16,000 that a Maverick could tow without even knowing it was there.

Sleeps two… tiny skinny adults? Don’t think my feet would fit in the cab over section based on that thick padding. And who even tried from the manufacturer with hard metal hooks hanging from roof, and painted black so you can’t see them in the dark.
No pass through to cab, and nearly worthless sized tiny windows, no vents in a metal box? Good luck in Texas during the 3 seasons that don’t start with a W.
Portable solar powered sauna.

I was looking at the dimensions and they are disappointing. The beds are too short for even a 6ft person. I like the idea of it being modular which probably causes the high price.
I saw one today on an F150. It looks nice compared to some.
The weight is the most favorable feature.

Still have not figured out that outdoor shower thing after all my years of RV'ing. Last time I checked, nudity is not allowed outdoors LOL.

Put in a tiny kitchen, a toilet/shower combo with a cassette toilet for $16K..NuCamp does it on their 320,etc. Why can't Scott?

I suppose you could bathe in your swimsuit or underwear and discretely clean your "privates". It's better than no shower at all.

Or you could just be someplace secluded and no one see you in your birthday suit. :)

But yeah, $16k for a small box to sleep in is too much.

The NCamp 320, granted it's 13 feet long, has an adequate shower/toilet setup that cold work in the Scout..yeah, it would be tight...Or like the old VW campers...have a shower out back.
