Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

Picked up Flagship #189 last Friday.

Like everyone else we had a great experience with Kelsey and team. They got right to work on the truck and Kelsey gave us the grand tour.

Camper highlights include:
new LA covers (phase 1)
appliance shelf (anyone care to petition STC to design one for the other side of the camper?)
Guzzle filter
Wrappon
2000w inverter
200aH batteries
L-track everywhere
50amp dc/dc charging

I didn't get an awning but STC added the awning tie-down points to the corners of the leading edge.

After the install we went straight from Golden to Frisco to get some fried chicken and IPAs at Outer Range Brewery. While in the parking lot we ran into another Supertramp, they've had theirs for about two years and only had good things to say.

Short trip home but good exercise of the heater in the 20F morning outside of Leadville.

Quick question for current owners:
How bad was your out-gassing experience? Any tips or tricks to help expedite getting the fumes from the manufacturing process out?

One thing to consider with an appliance shelf on the driver side, is that it would take up bench space for the "guest bedroom" or using the bench if you needed to stealth camp.

We do like the shelf of the passenger side. Just have to remember not to keep meds or chocolates or other things you don't want to heat up on the middle shelf, if you're running the heater, because the vent blows directly onto that shelf.

I wired down a toaster oven on the top shelf. We don't really need a microwave, but have found the toaster oven to be handy.

Based on measurements, the Cuddy Lite height does seem problematic. Fortunately there is some flex in the lid, so it does just fit. The aluminum bench cover rubs on the lid, so we added a towel on top, but even with that and a pad under the toilet to prevent shifting and scuffing, the bench lid closes.

We're the opposite of Mr. and Mrs. Chadx, and have yet to uses the toilet for liquids, which go on local vegetation. We do prefer it to cat holes for solids, even in 20s F weather. The plastic warms up pretty quick. We include the toilet paper for convenience, and remove the bag daily and keep it with other bagged trash in a collapsible bucket in a Roam box mounted on the back of the camper. With regular trash stops, no issues with odor, so I haven't had to dedicate a dry bag to storage, although that's a good suggestion.

As @Chadx notes, small "composting" toilets do not do any composting. And you wouldn't want to try to compost solids anyway, without the industrial scale that sludge is composted at. Even if you could get it hot enough for long enough to kill pathogens, the solids still contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals that come from eating at the top of the food chain. Best to just put in a landfill like disposable baby diapers.

Here are a few shots of the Cuddy Lite to demonstrate the fit. It does need to be taken out of the shower enclosure to have the geometry right for use. In campsites with traffic or cold/wet weather, we put it in the outdoor shower enclosure. When we have an area to ourselves, we enjoy a "loo with a view," something I learned to appreciate with groover placement on river trips.

(For reference, I'm on the Tremor forum as @SuperGuck.)
Ah, to have a bladder that would again make it through the night. Ha. Hence our common use of toilet for liquids. And if using for overnight anyway, no extra overhead to use during the day, too. Easier to go outside during the day (for me) but in middle of night, heavy biting-bug pressure, or the rare occasion when we are at a campground, the Trelino gets used during the day, too.

Great info on the Cuddy Lite. Goes to show specs are a starting point, but trying and having first hand knowledge have final say!

Agreed that those with the shelf need to be aware if shelved items when using cabin heat. We use a cloth basket on that shelf with nothing in it that would be damaged by heat, but we still pull it out just for better heater vent circulation, particularlyat night.

Love this solution much more than my DIY multi-basket (spice rack) solution.
While at camp, we locate our electric water boiler and phone charging pads on the top shelf of the appliance shelf, which keeps them off the counter top.

I'm sure the second shelf wouldn't be for everyone, but the things you mentioned wouldn't be a worry for us. Having the additional storage would be an added benefit though. In the mean time we will find a way to manage our accessories.

Yea it is a really nice feature. We had a leftover Step22 Stingray Flat Box, that fits perfectly on that shelf. Tied the handles under the top shelf with a cam-strap.

 
Congratulations, @nmorrill25

About your consideration for the Bowen Customs bed upper compartment with rear access.
I’ve considered this as well and talked with Stu at Bowen Customs regarding dimensions and other details of their beds. He is very helpful and knowledgeable.
I have a Black Bowen Bed - Skis will fit with poles use it for my kids all the time.
If anyone wants to buy my Bowen Bed let me know only 6 months old let me know.
 
Tinkering and templating with some cardboard and aluminum to come up with a better place to mount the circuit breaker in the Super Duty’s engine bay. I could not find a product available that I liked so the need to create kicked in.
Camper pickup is in two weeks. No holes were drilled in the truck. I used three OEM attachment points and some 1/8” aluminum from past projects.
Trying to create some added surface area for future electrical expansion also.

Hope this helps others who are looking for similar solutions.

Looks pro! To protect any conductors that may come in contact with the outer perimeter and chafe, one could add some rubber, U-channel automotive edge trim along the edge along with some wraps of silicon tape on the cables themselves.
 
Inspired by the @Chadx spice rack I installed a Thule Shoe Bag on the driver's side of my STC.


We had the same bag in our van years ago and they are really easy to work with. Found one on sale for ~$40 so I figured I'd give it a try. They don't have any built in rigidity so I bought some composite plywood and stapled the shoe bag to it. Drilled two holes in the board (but not through the fabric) so I could attach to the l-track. Just did a week long trip to test it out and happy with the results. Easy access to random camp kit without being too bulky or intrusive.

Great mod! Compartment size and shape looks very useful.

Having the new driver's side interior L-track, especially with no artic tern windows down, sure gives a lot of mounting options along that wall.

Good point. That’s why I rounded and polished the edges to eliminate that being an issue.
