Panels connected through aluminum edges. Also for the cab over section there will be extra support added so it can withstand the weight of people and gear up there.

Your right there would be very little downside to making it longer. I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for the input!

As of right now cabover is set to be 8 feet from rear of shell to the end of the cabover (the rendering is makes it look shorter than it actually would be) This length is the same as companies such as Go Fast Campers and Hiatus and provides ample amount of room for sleep. Also it will be all...

If funding is successful (which I think it will be) building of the first proof of concept rough prototype will begin immediately. Once this is done the testing stage will begin. This will involve taking the camper out into the wild to see how it actually performs under all the various...

Good to hear!

Yeah Hiatus Campers is the only other hard sided popup shell on the market as of right now. While Alaskan Campers is a hard sided pop up it is a slide in camper ranging in weight from 1390 lbs to 1985 lbs dry which doesn't make it an ideal option for most overlanders. The ultimate goal in all...

Cabover Renderings Walls where the cabover section is would be hinged so they could swing up in the raised position and then lower.

I completely agree with you. For camping and sleeping a cabover gives you that extra room that you need (especially if you have a short bed). There would also be a cabover option with hinged walls on the cabover section.

The entrepreneurship contest that I'm a finalist in right now offers a cash prize that would allow me to build the first prototype over the winter. The reason why I posted here is to see how much interest there might be in something like this so I could put it in my presentation for the contest...

The Goat Shell utilizes electric linear actuators to pop up. There are numerous commercially available options available if you wanted to buy them for a diy project. As for the different footprints the first models available of the GOAT Shell will conform to the most standard pickup bed sizes on...

Will do!

I feel you on the short garage problem. Sadly though as of right now the Goat Shell will have to stick up a little over the cab in order to get the full 6 foot 6 inches of headroom when popped up. We are however currently working on a three panel popup (instead of the two panel that you see in...

Our main rear door design is something that is completely unique to the popup camper shell market. It will consist of two panels connected to each other via linear guides that will open up through the use of gas struts. When in the lowered position both panels will be on top of each other to...

Window options will be numerous and completely customizable to fit your specific wants and needs.

We are also working on a cabover version to accommodate for all the short beds out there!
