Camp King Outback Series Canopy Camper

Anyone have more information regarding the Camp King Canopy Camper? Really want to know the overall weight and RTT sections dimensions.

I really like the design from the pics I've been able to find. I'm sure Sloop will have some and a Gladiator specific version is in the works.

UPDATE 06-MAY-2020
Details from Sloop Imports' site.

hydraulic struts to rear of truck bed. Front 3⁄4 section of sleeping platform pivots on two hydraulic struts to

Agreed on the cost. With the current AUD vs USD I was hoping to see this around $9,999. That $12k seems to be a slight stretch.

I also don't understand why a basic canopy that doesn't replace the tailgate can't be built at the same price as the go fast camper and then be modular and optioned like the alu cab canopy camper. GFC has a 12 month wait list.

I'm looking like so many at a canopy camper, but the products seem to lack the design maturity to meet the market potential?

I like it. Still wish the tray/flatbed canopy combo was more common here in the USA. Fifty10 was on the right track, they are just priced too high.

Dust intrusion is such a huge problem with anything that uses the factory bed, my Raptor and shell is horrible unless front window is open on shell. Luckily you usually don’t have dust and water intrusion on the same days

The quality of their stuff always seems great, but agreed on the price tag. Very steep considering it doesn't replace the tailgate.
That being said, a Vagabond with paint and doors is $9650.00 and made in the USA. Shipping this won't be cheap, but it also isn't $3000.00

I think I still like the Canopy camper more. (if you aren't worried about the 30 pound weight difference.

link to topper:

(odd...they have a similar no tent top topper, and they have a very nice RTT..‘together these would be @$11k AUS, not the $15k they quote for this above pop top topper)

and this even nicer flatbed model is almost the same price as the pop top topper:
