I mean I've stayed out weeks at a time in a plain old topper on my truck and that apparently didn't bother me too much. I've done cross country road trips in a toyota camry... without hotels. It's not my plan to live in 24/7 for months on end... anyway. If I find myself wanting to do that...

Yes and no. Payload is 1300 IIRC. Battery setup - 200lbs Camera & laptop gear - 100lbs AC - 40lbs Heater - 20lbs 400w rooftop solar - 25lbs (alternator charging as well) Bedding/dry food - 40lbs Diesel/Water - 40lbs 12v cooler - 50lbs Also a toolbox and lightweight fold down chair. 12" x 48"...

Weighing out the components so far, should be able to stay under with a bit of room to spare. Nevertheless, certainly better than all the other hardside options weight wise for my Tundra. (even the tented popups are only a couple hundred pounds less -- and you'd still want those components...)

Eh, depends. I do think these fill a big niche. Here's a different take: I actually just ordered the tufport t62 shell version. Going to outfit it with my own electrical system and furnishings. (plus heater and AC + wiring and other finishing done by Wasatch) Why does it make sense for me and...

Fair enough. My door jamb says the same basically. Need to read a bit more, but assume this is the payload number that would include all weight added on past stock. Will say that out of the thousand I imagined it's going to be distributed around the vehicle a bit: In the bed: - 575lb...

Hi. So I'm looking at building out my stock 2011 Tundra double cab (5.7 4x4) to be able to handle: 1) About 1000ish on payload with a tufport t62 (575lbs) https://tufport.com/adventure/ , plus all my other stuff, I'm guessing. (truck's payload is 1750) 2) Will likely add a relatively heavy...

Thanks for that. Seriously thinking of one of these. I really like the idea of not dealing with canvas. I have a 2011 Tundra double cab. Do you get the feeling the longevity of this thing will be good? Like the build quality? My truck will spend a lot of time outside, no garage right now...

Does anyone have any experience camping in one of these in cold weather? With a heater? Insulation is ok? Also, what affect if any on MPG on fuel efficiency?

Could be. Just trying to get my deposit back.

Bump. Still available.

https://superpacificusa.com/ As the title mentions, immediate build spot available. Cut to the front of the line. All I'm asking is the 500 I put down for a deposit back -- you would have to put down your own 500 anyway. (but wait longer for build time) This was for a double cab 2nd gen Toyota...

Also: does anyone know of any expedition outfitters besides https://www.bearvehicles.com/ that will help put a build together? Just starting to explore options here and they're the only ones I've found so far. Thanks

Ah. I thought they were pre-wired.

Awesome. Are these wired in such a way as to receive generator power or shore power? Thanks.

These things look incredible. Thinking of one for my double cab Tundra. Question... would there be any way to attach an RV style 5000BTU air conditioner on the roof? Is this wired to accept generator/shore power input? Not something I'd use all that much, but would like the option, especially...
