Hi, just want to introduce you all to my favorite couple - the diesel ZR2 and Conqueror 440 camper.
Camper was purchased from Conqueror NA in 2017. Here she sits in Big Sur, earlier this year:
The camper has been great! I have two kids and two dogs and tent camping, though fun, was getting old, mostly due to the time and effort involved loading/unloading. We are mostly weekend warriors so getting out of town quickly is key and setup time/takedown times are important. Also, we’ve rode out a few crazy storms in our ground tent so we’re happy to now have a big metal box between us and the weather when needed.
Though compact on the outside, when fully deployed the 440 has plenty of room inside:
Full pullout kitchen and pantry on the drivers’ side also makes for happy cooks:
While the exterior shower (one of my favorite features) keeps us smelling better than the dogs most of the times.
Towing with the ZR2 has been a dream. I can’t say enough good things about the baby max diesel for its towing capability. Just purrs along the highway, and on-trail, uphill, high altitude — it pulls along the ~3800lb 440 seemingly effortlessly. The 440 is also built to take a lot of extended abuse on the trail. It just rolls with the punches.
Overall these two machines really are a great match for each other, and give us the flexibility to extend our American adventures with few limitations. Thanks Dave, from Conqueror NA, for bringing these machines over here. His customer service is truly stellar, and the growing community of owners makes for some great crowd sourced support as well as some fun times on group excursions.
Thanks to all you American Adventurists for your stewardship, the inspiration and support of this hobby! Hope you enjoyed this post.
