@abiker wow, this thread echoes my experience I'm going through. I went through the same process and still considering options but "settled" on a 2006 DC Tundra with 83k miles on it. My goal with the build is to have a comfortable and capable camper rig meant for ski touring. So it needed to...
There was an article on EP not too long ago about the Spacekap. Looks like a good base to build from. The Loki Icarus is definitely a nice utilization of it but their asking price is a little questionable. I think the Spacekap makes a lot more sense from a DIY perspective...
If you have the cash then the HBE with auto lift is about as good as you can get. If it were my money I think the best value is the Camp-X and a flatbed with side boxes. The Camp-FX has some upgrades over the X and the storage options are good but not not worth the extra money IMO. Inside...
That's a little interesting. You would think a wedge camper would be their most popular product and one of the easier ones to produce. I have to say given the lack of actual production units out there it's a little concerning that the company seems to be switching directions so early. They...
Product page is up. I like it but I'm not sure I love it. I think they added a lot of great things to it but in some way it doesn't fill my needs. There's still no way to store long items like ski's and snowboards. While there's now some exterior storage boxes the only way you might be able...
I've seen this one in person. Definitely some unique and positive attributes to it. I'd say the fit/finish of it left a bit to be desired and it looks better from afar or from a grainy picture. I'm sure it was their prototype so hopefully production units look better. They've been...
Love listening to Mario talk about the methodology of the topper campers. You can tell these things are so well built. About the only gripe I have is that the bed is only 48" wide. If they had gone to 50-52" wide that would allow you to use other sleeping pads like the Exped or Hest if you...
Do you really think the average Tacoma buyer really cares about chassis and drivetrain though? People are superficial and they care more about looks (out and in), tech, crawl control, and new shiny factor. The average Tacoma buyer probably didn't know that the 2nd and 3rd gens shared the same...
Is the CAMP-FX supposed to slot between the X and HBE in terms of pricing? I suppose with a flat rear without angle that material cost might be a bit less.
The Ranger is nice but it was already behind the 8 ball when it was released in the US. By the time it was released here it was already 8 or 9 years old elsewhere so it looked pretty dated inside and out. I think the new 2023 Ranger will be a hit and raise a lot of eyebrows. I'm certainly...
Congrats, you got a KILLER deal on it. With the cost of trucks now, lack of deals, inflation on everything, along with the cost of mods, work and just general time you actually probably made it out ahead. I'm jealous, wish I had that kind of coin to drop on a ready to go setup.
I had heavily considered the Bison Overland Camper. I think they have an attractive product being the only company I know that is making flatbed shell models. However it was an unproven product and there are no real world campers or experiences to speak of. In fact the only thing I've heard...
