    We're moving into the giant new shop this weekend. Start building next week, so expect lots of photos soon.

    Yes, the sheets will be available separately. We're starting to ship campers in March and won't have the sheets ready by then (the sew shop we're setting up will be really busy at first just getting tents and cushions made) but we expect to have more soft goods accessories starting in the summer.

    Just so everyone knows, the floor was designed to be used in two configurations. One for two people and one for solo travel (bunk mode). When you have two people, and both need to get out at different times, the best arrangement is to place the two small square panels side by side at the rear...

    We will be at expo west. As will a number of our customers with their new GFC :) As for the F-150 dimensions, we don't have those finalized yet. But generally speaking we're going to make all the truck-specific designs as low to the cab as possible without requiring any modifications to the...

    We'll get it as low as we can but I'd prefer not to require folks to chop the fin. At least not on 3rd gens.

    What you're describing is part of our product roadmap. We plan to offer builders, both commercial and individuals the pop-top portion for incorporation into their own builds. This will extend not just to complete units but spare parts as well. Right now I'd estimate that we'll start making these...

    Will do. Definitely wish that shark fin wasn't there.

    Correct. When closed, the tent portion is 6" tall. Right now we have it so that the bottom of the overhang is 2" above the fin. We might lower this by 1.25" but that has yet to be determined. it won't get any taller though.

    Hopefully some useful answers for you: 1. The large "rear window" is also a door. The mesh zips completely open (it's fixed at the top) so you'd just unzip the mesh, zip the rain flap closed, then re-zip the mesh. 2. I assume you mean the mesh in the tent fabric (we'll have an optional bug...

    The panel is 25" wide. And although it seems counterintuitive, everyone we've had test this (including my 6' 4" self) has ended up preferring to sleep with their heads toward the front pivot. It's more cozy and affords a nice view out the rear door. And I can still sit up with plenty of headroom...

    We will be making the tent part available on its own. No firm price but somewhere in the low $3k range. That version will have a ladder, solid floor, and side doors in addition to the rear door on the camper model. And yes, we're making the fabric super easy to remove for cleaning. We will...

    The upper floor interior is 90" long. If we make it any longer the whole thing gets heavier due to the larger cantilever and the need for beefier extrusions. Since our primary focus is weight reduction and durability/repairability, we won't be making this model any longer than that. However, if...

    Yes, we're building to fit both LB and SB Tacomas. Here's the list of the trucks we'll be supporting right away: 1995-PRESENT TOYOTA TACOMA: ALL MODELS EXCEPT FOR 1ST GEN STEP SIDE. 2015-PRESENT COLORADO/CANYON: ALL MODELS. 2009-PRESENT F-150 (RAPTOR INCLUDED): 5.5' AND 6' BEDS ONLY. We do...

    As long as the kids aren't taller than 5' the SB could work. With a platform over the wheel wells, and under platform storage drawer, and a storage box on the roof rack, you'd probably have enough room to sleep two kids downstairs, two adults upstairs, and enough gear storage. Once they're over...

    The Next evolution in truck camper/tent tops

    We're going to have an insulated fabric option that can be swapped out. The fabric sides clip in and can be removed in about two minutes. As for mounting to a truck cap, that's what we're selling. The lower topper is available with either soft sides or aluminum hard sides but it's integrated...

    Most likely just a standard center turn with two latches at the bottom. You can't really make anything with a window secure (unless they're bulletproof :) Every person I know who's had their car broken into, it's always been a smashed window. And yes, this has a bit more room in it. With a bed...

    Excellent. As for options, there will be the choice between aluminum or canvas sides for the lower. And there will be an array of optional accessories: mounting brackets (for awnings, light, roof racks, solar, etc.), an interior LED lighting package, and a ventilation fan. Not sure what pricing...

    The Next evolution in truck camper/tent tops

    Not this go 'round. The lower isn't just a rack but a sealed shell integrated into the upper tent. Technically they come apart but were designed to be used as a unit. You'd have to remove the aluminum panels from the lower to make it work. Could work with the canvas sided versions but it would...

    The Next evolution in truck camper/tent tops

    Yes. The big end has a zip-open door and mesh. But we won't be supplying a ladder with this model since the primary entrance is through the bed.
