    Arkto Campers-Shakedown, Update

    It would be tight and most probably wouldn't do it. The only time to take the top down is perhaps severe weather (rare really, not just some rain) or when one wanted to experiment as I was doing.

    Arkto Campers-Shakedown, Update

    One of the many reasons that Arkto appealed to me was to be able to sleep with the top down. Have to stoop over a bit to get around but I/we don't live in it except for bad weather or sleep. Some of the advantages to a hybrid camper is the potential to garage it (we do) and to sleep with the...

    Arkto Campers-Shakedown, Update

    Thanks Obsessed. I can't even imagine what that was like with the wheel coming off. Hope I never experience something like that.

    TetonX Hybrid

    Arkto does sleep four. There is an L shaped lower bench where two can sleep. I personally slept on it with the top down while staying in a truck stop.

    Arkto Campers-Shakedown, Update

    After some family related delays, we finally took the Arkto Campers G12 on it's shakedown trip that was actually 2500 miles from Colorado into Wyoming, Montana and a bit of Canada and took the time to visit Arkto and crew in Edmonton while they did a 400w solar installation for us. When we...

    Arkto Campers G12 Leads the Pack for Offroad Hybrid Pop-ups especially if you want it to fit in an 8-foot Garage

    Go time in two days...finally. Delays due to family commitments and weather. Can't believe how much rain we have had this spring. First blue sky I've see in a while today. Installed the ARK XO corner steadies/stabilizers that also jack up for tire changes a few weeks ago. Arkto provides...

    The Great Outdoors RV in Colorado has new 2022 Taxa Mantis Overland's available. Last I heard, they were selling fast so don't know if their website is up to date.

    Mammoth Expedition Doomsday Trailer

    Pretty funny. I actually sorta like it for cool factor only but it's high on the stupidmeter. While watching, had a bunch of questions, ALL of which were asked in the YT comments.

    Portable solar recommendations

    Thanks everyone, appreciate the help. Since the Arkto is a pop top, I believe that it would involved repeated connecting/disconnecting which could be a failure point if the flexible panels are mounted. After more time in solar school than I would like to admit, it appears that the Renogy and...

    Portable solar recommendations

    Has anyone thought about using or used flexible solar panels? Perhaps sticking them to the roof.
