The Story Behind the Rigs
Hi, I'm Dixon.
I like outside.
Founder
This isn’t a rental company that happened to find Colorado. It’s the story of a guy who wanted to chase powder, peaks, and paragliding — and couldn’t find the right rig to do it in.
Chapter 01
The Idea
That Started
Everything
In 2019, I stumbled across the Winnebago Revel and something clicked. An adventure machine. Something I could drive straight to the mountains without checking in anywhere, booking anything, or answering to anyone.
Snowboarding
Mountain Biking
Paragliding
I wanted a mobile basecamp. A ski lodge. A bike hub. A paragliding hut. I needed an all-in-one machine I could drive to the trailhead and have my adventure. comcook something, and take a nap — then dial in the next adventure.
The Vision
The Mobile
Basecamp
Drive to the Trailhead
Park where others can't even get close. Sleep at elevation.
Go Out, Come Back
Adventure for hours. Return to food, warmth, and a real bed.
Dial In the Next Move
No plans. No reservations. Just wherever tomorrow feels right.
→ One Machine. Total Freedom.
There was just one problem. Those vans were $150,000–$200,000. So I started asking a better question.
Chapter 02
The Real Problem
Wasn't the Engine
I landed on a different platform — a small Class C built on the Ford E-Series chassis. The same foundation used for ambulances and airport shuttles. Stable. Durable. Built to work hard. But the real issue with most RVs isn’t what’s under the hood- It’s the clearance.
Most RVs are built for campgrounds. Long. Low, and dragging their sewer pipes on every mini curb they encounter. They’re just not built to leave pavement — and that defeats the entire point.
Built for
Campgrounds
Crowds · Hookups · Noise
- Long, low-slung chassis that drags on every rut
- No real ground clearance for dirt roads
- Designed for pavement and hookups
- Can't access dispersed camping areas
- Dependent on infrastructure to function
- $150K–$200K for a van that won't go off-road
Built for
Backcount
Solitude · Freedom · Wild
- Lift kits for serious ground clearance
- Big, aggressive tires for off-pavement terrain
- Class C on Ford E-Series — the workhorse chassis
- Access dispersed campsites others can't reach
- Fully self-sufficient — no hookups, ever
- Built for Colorado. Not a parking lot.
Chapter 03
How the
Fleet Was Born
Monster Max was a hit. Then, Mighty Max came along, and today we have Mountain Max rounding out the trio — three nearly identical machines all lifted and built super-burly to go anywhere but a campground.
2019
Monster Max is Born
2019 ALP Adventurer 19RD · The Flagship
The first rig. A 2019 ALP Adventurer 19RD — modified from day one. Lift kit. Big tires. Real ground clearance. We used it for our own trips and rented it out to help cover the build. It took off immediately.

Mighty Max Joins
2013 Thor Majestic · The Nimble One
Demand pushed us to build a second rig. Mighty Max is nimbler, lighter, and fits into tighter spots while offering the same core off-grid capability. For couples and small groups who want maximum access with a smaller footprint.

Mountain Max On The scene
New Build · The Refined Experience
The newest rig in the fleet — and the most refined. Same DNA as Monster Max and Mighty Max, but with an upgraded interior, extended solar array, and the freshest build we’ve ever put out. Brand new and already turning heads.

Chapter 04
Solving the Power Problem
Most RVs need to be plugged in to do anything useful. That was never going to work for what we were building and where we were going. Instead of relying on solar alone, we engineered a smarter system.
Each rig runs large lithium battery banks, with DC-to-DC charging systems that recharge the batteries while you drive. A few hours of driving means you arrive fully topped off — ready to park anywhere and run everything indefinitely. To back it all up we have generators on board just in case!
Generators for Back Up
We carry generators on all our RV's but they are rarely ever neeed with such large and charged up Lithium battery banks. Our ginnys are good in the summer if you want AC- thats the only conveninece that wont run run on battey banks alone.
Large Lithium Battery Bank
High-capacity lithium cells store everything. Runs fans, heaters, fridge, and all appliances through the night.
DC-to-DC Charging While Driving
Drive to your spot and arrive with a full battery. The alternator charges the bank as you roll.
Propane Heat + Rooftop A/C
Stay comfortable in all four seasons. Mountain nights get cold. Desert days get hot. We handle both.
Weld Tec Lift Kits for Clearance
6 inch Lift Kits from Weld tec come standard on all our RV's-that includes Fox suspension, Skyjacker Coils and a FOX Steering Wheel Stabilizer (drives like an SUV!) and custom Weld Tec SWAY bars
Chapter 04
Find Your Flow
But this was never just about the rigs. It’s about how you experience Colorado. We like to pack up our gear and head for parts unknown — close to Mother Nature and as far from people as we can get. Our mantra is: Go Outside: The Rest Will Follow.
Flow is anything that makes you forget you even have a cell phone.
The best places to find that Flow are the places your phone doesn’t work. Yeah, we said it. Go old school. The busy world will still be here when you return. The difference is you’ll have a big smile on your face😁
Meanwhile, back at the campground…
“People are packed in, watching TV, scrolling their phones, paying hundreds of dollars to do it. What’s the point again?”
Welcome to
Boondocking
Colorado.
Your gateway to real adventure. The places most people never see. The mornings with no neighbors. The silence. The peaks. The freedom to go wherever tomorrow takes you — with everything you need already in the rig.
Now go out there and find your Flow.
