My flippac is designed for newer Superduty short bed trucks and probably wouldn't be good fit for other brands (my truck is an '04). It has sliding side windows and front slider, the tent and SLO fly have been treated with 303 fabric guard (read about it). I read that the price of flippac has...

Up for sale is my Flippac made for Ford Superduty with the 80”bed (short-bed) $3,800. The Superduty short bed flippac purchased new Jan. 2012 cost same as long bed version from FRP. With tax picked up from FRP it cost $4,458. AT pricing is $5,500 per their web site. When I ordered mine from...

Climbing over a tailgate to get into the Flippac is a no go for my wife and I don‘t particularly enjoy it either. It is also a pain to have to lift stuff past the open tailgate to get things into the truck bed. What I really want are barn doors like old Flippacs that I have seen pictures of...

Does anyone have any experience with using security window film to the back window of a truck canopy or camper? I ordered some 12 mil clear film, not supposed to prevent the window from breaking but might make it harder to break in or keep shards of glass out of the interior if something...

Does anyone have pictures of the “barn door” option that flippac used to sell? My wife doesn’t like stepping over the tailgate to get in or out. I would like to fabricate some but I don’t want to mess up the shell or my truck experimenting on how to attach them to the shell or the truck so...

Has anyone ordered a flippac from this company? http://www.up22.com/FlipPac.htm They imply that they make them so maybe another company owned by Homer? They say they will ship anywhere which would be a huge advantage for anyone who doesn’t want to travel to S. Cal. and their prices are the...

I removed the caulking from around the hinges, where they enter the lid and cap because right from new I could tell water was getting behind the caulking, rust stains on cap. It looked like they did a good job of placing the caulk but it wasn't adhering to the hinge metal, maybe they were oily...

Quick question, I was hoping someone had some experience removing truck caps with cable jacks like the Brophy unit. My garage door isn't tall enough to get the truck with the flippac in, so a ceiling hoist won't work. The bed rails on a F350 are 58" off the ground so safely removing the cap is...

It is pretty well documented that the flippack tent fabric is sturdy but not very water repellant. As a soon to be owner of one I have been looking around for products that will help in this regard. Nikwax seems to be a favorite and TACODOC has kindly written up about this product. I am...

I have a 2004 F350 crew cab with the infamous 6.0. I don’t have any current issues with the 6.0 other than I am really tired of the diesel rattle and noise and I don’t need a crew cab anymore so I was thinking of trading the truck for something like a Fiesta for work commute and buying a used...

Does anyone have any input or recommendations regarding a truck cap sliding front window vs. the fold down sliding front window. I reviewed some old posts about flippac campers and I see suntinez (sp?) ordered the sliding fold down front window. Suntinez, if you are out there your input would...

I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone has experienced anything similar to give me more direction. Problem : 2004 F350 4x4 crew cab, short bed, SRW, ~120,000miles Few weeks ago developed what I would describe as a pretty loud howling sound at any speed above 10mph, no vibration...

Does anyone have any experience with silkaflex-221? I have never used it but was thinking of using it for a camper roof membrane adhesive. The roof membrane is aluminum diamond plate to be attached to steel framing. From what I read this adhesive is good for bonding dissimilar metals. Any...

Does anyone know what the weight of a full size short bed flippac top lid is? Maybe 100#? I plan to use 2”x1”x1”x1/8” bar channel for the periphery, 2”x1/8” bar for roof supports and alum diamond plate for the roof membrane. Total weight would be 110#, I was wondering if that is in ballpark...

I have a 14.5’ inflatable hard transom boat (Star inflatable) that I have had for several years, it is pretty high quality with 2000 denier PVC tubes and 4000denier self bailing floor but it is large, even when deflated, weighs about 160# and I can’t lift it or transport it easily anymore due to...

A wildernest for sale close to home that I thought I would check. Does anyone have experience with fit on a superduty? from the add post: "Dimensions as follows: 83" long with a 4" lip on the front rail. (will physically cover a box 79 to 83 inches long) 72-1/2" wide with a 3-1/2" lip on...

I had been looking for a used flippac or wildernest that would fit my Superduty short bed without success so I decided to check in with FRP to see how long it would take for them to build a new one for me. The flippac.com web site is gone and an E-mail I sent was returned as undeliverable...

A question for any wildernest owner or resident expert who may know. I have a ‘04 F-350 short bed and I sometimes see long bed full size wildernest campers for sale locally (but not so close as to make it easy to drive over and check out, usually a couple hundred miles away) but none for a...

I had been a member of the WTW forum but either I have been deleted as a user or there is some problem with the site not recognizing me. Anyway, there has been some interest in supplemental lift assists for FWC type campers because the factory spring loaded end panel lifts are not adequate for...

It looks like the Flippac is a no-go. Cost 4-5 grand (closer to 5) for one delivered up here with rain fly + heavy so it would be hard to install + 8 weeks for delivery + truck specific for superduty which is already 6 yrs old = not happening. I’m not too taken on the torsion bar that...
