Luxury camper outfitter Supertramp has introduced the Paragon, a truck-based camper built on a Ford F-350 platform as a more affordable alternative to Sprinter vans and its own Megatron model. It features four-wheel drive, a 7.3L V8 engine, a king-size bed, a full wet bath, and a kitchen. The starting price is $189,000, which is substantially lower than the flagship Megatron.
