That sucks. I really hope it's not that much. Not for my deductible's sake, but so I don't have to drive around in the rental car any longer.

Breaking it in
My future Father-in-law has some land in East TN and we went to see him this weekend so we packed up our sleeping bags and decided to give the new LR3 a test run to see how it all worked.
Got to take it off the pavement to get around the property and back to the lake where we spent the night. Nothing crazy, just some rough cut trails, but it was nice to get a little mud on the wheels within the first month of ownership.
As for the in car experience: I'm 6'1" and slept like a log. I was so happy when I woke up. My fiance loved it too and has started figuring out where else we can go and "RoverCamp" as she's dubbed it.
Best. Purchase. Ever.

You slept in the Rover? Were you able to close the back? I'm about the same height and don't quite feel like I've got enough room. Very cool getting it out there so soon. Great picture.

Yeah I was able to close the back. I slid my driver's seat up and tilted it forward a little so my feet didn't hit it, but other than that I was surprisingly comfortable.
We used 2 queen size comforters as our padding and slept in our sleeping bags. I also built some window screens so we used one of those to get a little air circulation. Is it as good as a bed? Of course not. But it beats sleeping in a tent!

I've been sleeping in the back for years now. I'm 6'-4" and that's pushing it. We use a queen sized air mattress, then throw a 2" thick memory foam topper for insulation. Sleep like a baby!

These:
If you run a quick search on the forum you'll see how easy they are to build. Took me about an hour plus the Home Depot run. They fit pretty tight. Take a little finessing to get them to cover all the gaps. I brought a roll of painter's tape for the interior just in case
