Here are a couple rigs (real and imagined) I've looked at in the past for inspiration. Photoshopped "earthroamer" XVJP? Photoshopped Tacoma camper Jon Burtt's Tacoma 👨‍👩‍👦 & 🐶 (@rumbummelbande) • Instagram photos and videos Trip and Fish's Campers

I'm guessing my winter riding is a little different then yours but here goes. For quite a few years I used to bike commute to work all year round in Alaska. Once the snow hit, I would ride the same mtb trails I rode in the summer....just with my fat bike on the snow. For a long time I wore...

All of these "wedge style truck campers" that have been popping up in the last few years really seem to hold their value well. Not everyone is in the same financial situation but if Jay61 is looking for a rig now, why not pick the best one that's available today and if UM comes out with a...

That is definitely a good point campertramper. That said, I am still a Jeep and an Ursa Minor fanboy. Here's to hoping! The one thing I really appreciate about Ursa Minor is their ability to mostly retain OEM looks and functionality while still having a full camper The wedge/truck camper...

Mules, great looking build! I've often wondered how well a "topper" with a passthrough like this would work on the Gladiator given it's easy to modify (at least compared to other trucks) fiberglass roof. It's a little hard to get a good perspective from the camera shots. Does it feel...

LyLCamp'R, 100% agree. Any kind of pass through would need a flexible connection. I would think something similar to post 31 would work pretty well https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ursa-minor-camper-shell-for-jt-gladiator.214030/page-3#post-2822550

Makes sense! Always good to hear an informed opinion

Dan, I've heard you mention in the past (my apologies if it was this thread!) that while you enjoyed your Jeep, after months you wished you would've have something with slightly more interior space like a sportsmobile. Looking at the footprint of the Gladiator, do you think a camper buildout...

It looks like it'll be a tough challenge but I'm excited by the potential offered by the Gladiator platform. The fact that it has a removable fiberglass top puts it into a completely different category than any other truck out there. If you cut a hole in the roof/back of the cab of a Tacoma or...

How much did that bed weigh?

Excellent build! I really like your Alaskan Camper style flip-up cabover panels. This is the first unit I've seen that uses those other than AK Campers. Seems like a really great way to make a low profile camper that is still quiet in wind. Well done

I would love to see a US available, Jeep Gladiator based, weekender sized version of the Escape! Great work. I always love to see the excellent products you guys produce

Above, I made an attempt to describe how I would handle the "sealing the gap" issue. If I were Ursa Minor, I'd make a custom cab hard top that was mostly similar to the stock hard top but with a cutout in the rear. Then also make a separate "shell" that attached to the Gladiator bed with a...

mk216v I agree, that would be really neat to have a J30 design where you could get into the top through either the front or the truck bed! To me a Gladiator style J30 would look something like the below sketch. Ursa Minor would design their own cab like they do on the Wranglers as well as a...

Yep, you are correct. SLC
