Yeah, they said it would actually be easier to not add the color. The roof section is painted (be that the standard white or one of the optional paint colors). Once complete, then they went back and masked off the trim and coated it black. I don't say paint because it's more like the...
Ah, I gotcha. I misinterpreted your comment and thought it was a prototype, like the 3/4 hard top, rather than drawings.
Would love to see them if you still have them. I'll DM you tonight. I love that kind of stuff.
Yes, same tub as the LT with new form for the hard top and then bonding, as outlined above. The seam is painted afterwards. Likely one could get it without the black contrasting coating if one didn't want the black line. There will still be a seam though.
The prototype of 2020 was the 3/4 hard...
For those interested, the hardtop version of the Flagship LT just dropped; the Flagship HT.
I spent four days in it last week. Here is the thread over in the hard top section (lots more to come, but that is my initial post)...
Supertramp Campers
For those unfamiliar with STC, founders Keith and Kelsey Panich have been researching and working on camper designs since 2017. The company shared it's first camper prototype in 2020. Known as the Flagship, it was a unique three-quarter hard-sided camper, meaning the main...
Supertramp Flagship HT – Hard-sided Slide-in 6.5' Pickup Camper
The third week of February, 2025, I had the opportunity to travel to Supertramp Campers (STC) in Golden, Colorado to spend four days/three nights winter camping in a new camper model.
As of February 24, 2025, STC has released the...
Went back and found a post of mine showing strips of livestock mat that I used. This was back before OEV offered pucks.

If you can't get appropriate height pucks from OEV for reasonable cost, hockey pucks or livestock mats are the best, and most available, solutions.
All of these are slightly compressible and also grip well. Lumbar can be used as a temp solution, but not ideal for long term.
Keep in mind...
Function over form. Typically the flatbed storage is sized to maximize space. The flatbed/truck beds flex independently of the cab, so the storage attached to the flatbed doesn't need to allow for as much clearance as the space between the cabover and can roof.
Maximizing space in the storage...
If you add weight to the roof, you can replace the gas struts with different struts that will compensate for the weight and make opening/closing the same, or even lighter if you like, than stock effort.
Welcome. I'll share some of my thoughts and you can combine that with those that others share.
Sinks, within smaller campers, are always a compromise. Yes we sometimes wish for a larger and deeper sink while washing some pots/pans, but we try to size most pans and dishes for the camper rather...
Last I heard from Supertramp they had several 2024 Megatron build slots reserved and going into production. They had limited slots available for 2024. Not sure if they will be expanding Megatron slots for 2025 or that would require expanding again to accommodate, but they didn't want to impact...
I would expect small penetrations like that to be of no consequence. I'm sure OEV, or a dealership, would be happy to confirm. But what you are doing doesn't sound like it would impact the structural integrity since it aligns with that they do at the factory. Not like you are cutting out an...
