    Outpost Truck Campers

    Why not just offer a bed extension like Scout and Tune do? goes out of the way when not in use and let you sleep N/S if wife requires it or if you are tall. You mentioned 2 issues for not doing a N/S: - long cab over being not good engineering wise. Bed extension solves this. - small living...

    Project M competitors?

    He did weigh it twice in total, and he came back later and said actually the weight of his camper is in the 600. It’s a long bed full size with options. You forgot to mention the guy below, full size truck long bed, with options including full heavy tempered glass window package, cat scale...

    Project M competitors?

    Point number 1 about weight - I have seen that post about the weight, and every single other ones on that group. There was one dude claiming his Tune weight was 800+ lbs and that it Cat scaled his truck before and after Tune install. Turns out a Facebook member contacted Tune, and Tune sent him...

    Project M competitors?

    It’s funny you keep mentioning the Tune FB group and issues people are having. I have been on the Tune, Project M and Lone Peak Facebook group with notifications active (reading everyday) for about a year now. I can tell you there are far far more people with issues on their project M. The vast...

    Outpost Truck Campers

    Most do it with a slide out extension. Look at the Tune M1, Scout Camper, etc On my end it’s not so much the wife. More the fact that at 78in tall, I can’t buy this camper. With a N/S, feet can go past the end of the bed, and so all tall people can now buy the camper.

    DIY truck bed plate

    So I got 2 4x8 birch plywood from the lumber store. Since I will build galleys on each side with 80/20, and because the 80/20 will run the full length of the bed on each side I figured I could just bolt the 80/20 to both pieces of the bed plate and this will secure them enough without needing...

    I decided to build my own Pop Top camper

    I read one of your old post where you tried to put your maxxfan at speed 3 to create positive pressure and prevent dust from entering your camper. Over the years, has this solution worked well for you? Is speed 3 still the best? Do you do this with the lid close or open? If you cross path with...

    Fan to mitigate dust

    Spent 2 hours eliminating all gaps in the tailgate with a seal kit, currently using a bed cover. No light goes through. With Utah dust, it‘s still terrible after offroading. Tons of fine dust getting in. Will have soon a pop up camper on the truck and I am looking at options because I don’t want...

    Good Solar gen Power Stations for DC and light AC Truck Campers

    Same thing, at 30V it takes a max of around 10A per YouTube videos. Additionally users have reported (and one YouTube video shows it) that with the slightest shade it goes to 0W then takes a very long time to go back to the maximum wattage. Quite sad how all this Chinese crap advertise specs...

    Good Solar gen Power Stations for DC and light AC Truck Campers

    So if my solar is plugged to the power station, it will automatically charge the LFP battery? And the power station will recharge from the LFP battery itself? I don’t understand how this is managed? How do you connect the power station to a LFP battery? I watched YouTube videos where they...

    Good Solar gen Power Stations for DC and light AC Truck Campers

    Most panels are below that and It’s not ideal to be right above the minimum voltage because in the morning and evening you could be below the minimum voltage and not charge at all. Yeti got it right with the new Pro 4000. 14-150V 50A solar input up to 3000w. Serious spec right there. Why did...

    Good Solar gen Power Stations for DC and light AC Truck Campers

    So what’s the best station to get now? The pecron solar input at 30-90V is not ideal because it will require solar panels to be in series to be optimal. Series is not great with shading we encounter when camping.

    DIY truck bed plate

    What‘s wrong with it? Nothing just did not know it existed. https://www.ashbylumber.com/p/1932-4-x-8-cdx-tg-plywood/58CDTG That’s what you are refering to? I don’t understand how you order that: if you order one 4x8 sheet, does it come with one edge female and one edge male? How do you know...

    DIY truck bed plate

    Thanks all. I am gonna call lumber yards around and then use some of your suggestions. I think I will try to glue edge to edge without cutting some sort of complicated joints because I do not know how to do those and all I have is a jig and circular saw. For some reason, I don’t feel comfortable...

    DIY truck bed plate

    I am looking at doing a plywood plate for my truck bed (F-150 short bed 67in L, 60in W). The issue is that I can’t find 6’x6’ plywood sheets. Am I supposed to buy 2 4x8 and join them together? This seems complicated with the limited tools and experience I have. This plate will be used for a...

    Anyone at the Flagstaff Outdoor Expo this weekend? Please post pics!

    Funny, I was telling myself the same thing an hour ago. Searched “Overland Expo” on youtube, filtered by posted in the last 24h, and there is almost nothing. I am sure a few youtubers will post a few long videos later, but still. Alucab is introducing a new camper that’s like their old one...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    They could also improve the existing design and offer more options before releasing other versions. Examples: Bed extension for north south sleeping for families and tall people. Tune M1 does this easily, the FWC also including the one with electric pop up. Real solar and power system that keep...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    If I buy a toper the tent doesn’t clear the garage anymore so might as well buy a LP which really is a topper + a tent with the added benefit of pass through . Our current tent is the only one my wife can help carry on the roof (100lbs) and it’s too small for kids. A new larger one we wouldn’t...
