I am getting a bit more serious about purchasing, and most of the boxes seem to be checked by Skinny Guy Campers Base Cap 5.0. I am not sure I like this one the most out of the others on the market, but this seems to be more the one that fits my overlanding "needs" as opposed to wants. Cab height, easily removeable (most smaller truck toppers don't offer this, Tune M1L says maybe soon..., fits lots of makes/models in case it needs to be sold, not overly heavy. I'm not saying the design isn't amazing, because it appear to be engineered really well and a lot of thought went into this. I'm not excited about the top being basically just a snap on tent, that the structure isn't bolted/clamped down to the bed, not a lot of available options, and the biggest concern is probably the 40 inch-wide bed. That's pretty small for 2 people. Admittedly, my wife and I are definitely on the smaller side, so it may not be as much of a concern for us as it would be for someone else.
My real question here is (after reading all I can find in the forums so far) Does anyone here want to give me your experience with Skinny Guy Campers? More specifically with the Basecap, but their regular model is fairly similar in overall structure so I'd love to hear good or bad on either. I can't shake the feeling that these aren't being marketed as widely as maybe they used to be, so I may be buying something that's not going to be around for much longer.
