The 'GEHOcab' Has Carbon Fiber Components for Lightweight Rigidity
Michael Hemsworth — August 27, 2020 — Autos
The 'GEHOcab' is a chassis-mounted camper designed for the Land Rover Defender, upcoming Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler that works to transform the rugged vehicles into well-equipped options for overlanding and more. The camper is designed to be positioned into the rear section of the vehicle and will seamlessly connect onto it for a seamless finish that is further enhanced with carbon fiber shells. Weighing just over 1,000 pounds, the camper unit is constructed with additional carbon fiber components to further reduce weight, while still providing a permanent bed, table and kitchenette for a comfortable living experience on the road.
The 'GEHOcab' is priced at $124,000 and is expected to launch starting October 1, 2020 with the Ford Bronco version arriving later on.
