We'll get this baby mounted to my truck tomorrow morning, just making some final adjustments to the rear pop-out load bar. I will also get an interior pic to show how many supports there are for the roof skin. The roof skin is attached with some amazing VHB tape and a solid amount of waterproof, black rivets.

Thanks for the update!

Order #28
2012 Toyota Tundra DC 6.5' Bed
Ordered options:
Solar wiring port (passenger side)
Roof vent fan (rear location)
4 x Grab Handles
LED & 12v lighting
Juicebox (passenger side)
Roof panel - white side facing out
Door panels - black side facing out

I'll add the latch lock pins when I get my install complete. I may also add a molle panel TBD.

I thought about adding the side lights, but I don't like that they become unusable once the door panels are open. I plan to mount some BD S2's just in front of the door panels on the t-track to provide usable light when at camp. I will wire those to a switch inside the cab and will pull power from my engine bay fuse block.

I'll be powering the camper with a Goal Zero 1500x and will add my own Renogy solar panel (175w) later as well.

Ok I’ll bite. Order#1248 and I’ve changed my mind on having the white side out. After seeing the build the amount of surface area left by installing 3-100watt panels is minimal. So 2-grab handles, roof vent, wiring + lights, no windows anywhere, 3-sets of awning mounts, 2-molle panels, juice box, I think that’s it maybe different when I hear the feedback from those who go before me. So when is #002 rolling out. Looking for more pics.

What changed your mind about white side out? Or were you going to do all panels white side out?

I’ve talked to a lot of people about flexible panels and heat. First, sun and heat kill solar panels, I park my truck under a low carport so it rarely gets any sun or heat. If you look at the post with my truck you will see a 100 watt Renogy ridged panel which worked awesome and after 3+ years it was running at about 75% even in bad weather. I like the black on the outside solely for looks. The white would help with keeping the tent cool. The 3 panels will cover 75% of the roof anyway. So I’ll have 300 watts of solar, a 40amp Epever controller, a 2500 watt Vevor inverter and 2-105ah epoch lifepo batteries(not the same as L/P is offering, but the ones they are offering are excellent).

Right on. I’m going for the white based on the heat reduction inside the tent. I know GFC does it for the same reason, but also for the ambient light. I’m glad I asked about the distance of the fan to the front mounted in the mid-position since the renogy would have not fit. Also, with the bed up it would block the fan from blowing.

I’m counting on the fan to cool it and keep the condensation down also. For sure on moving the fan forward more, only way to go.

Our first night in the Lone Peak Camper was amazing! Megan and I are so appreciative to the Lone Peak team for working so hard to make this camper! I can not say enough good things about LP as a company and all of the individuals that make up their team

The gear vault doubles as an awesome bedside table!
