WHEELCABIN G2 - $13,999
This is the 2nd Generation WheelCabin and it has more interior space, a more streamlined appearance and a better aerodynamic profile than the orginal. This is the model we most frequently recommend
WheelCabin classic - $12,499
This is our initial design and the camper does not extend forward over the truck cab. It has slightly less interior space than the G2 but it also has a lower price point. If you are going to be traveling solo or with your favorite 4-legged friend this might provide all the room you want or need. We have created plenty of memories using a classic model so if you are on a budget, will be traveling solo, or don't need the additional space of the G2 the Classic could be the right fit for you

200 watt solar panel, solar charge controller and a lithium battery. $400
If you would prefer to not use a Solar Generator/Portable Power Station we can add to the camper the basics so that you have power for lights, USB ports, a DC power point and ceiling fan power.

DC Air Conditioner package. $Call
Traditionally air conditioning was a simple check box and we had a one size fits all response that required you be plugged in or running a generator. Today there are more options including ones with some amount of off grid usage. If air conditioning is of interest, or a requirement based upon where you live, set up a time with us to discuss your requirements and we will put together the right solution for how you want to use your WheelCabin.
