HQ12 questions, answered

How much does the Black Series HQ12 cost? The HQ12 starts at $49,899 for the Base edition. The Yellow Stone edition adds $15,000 and the Rocky Mountain edition adds $30,000. Delivery is a flat $2,880 anywhere in the continental U.S., or free pickup in Upland, California.

How much does the HQ12 weigh? 5,080 lb dry with a 7,500 lb GVWR. Plan your tow vehicle around the GVWR, not the dry weight.

What truck do I need to tow an HQ12? A properly equipped half-ton pickup (F-150, Ram 1500, Silverado or Sierra 1500, Tundra) is the practical minimum. Mid-size trucks and SUVs are not enough truck for a loaded HQ12. Check your truck.

How many people does the HQ12 sleep? Four: a queen bed, a bunk, and a convertible lounge. It is the only pop-top in the lineup and the most compact model.

How long can the HQ12 run off-grid? Standard equipment is 600W of roof solar, a 200Ah battery bank, and a 2,000W inverter; the Yellow Stone and Rocky Mountain editions move to 1,200W solar and an 800Ah Victron system. Estimate your days of autonomy.
