Truckcamper.com features a Ford Raptor with Phoenix camper

The truck belongs to Sam and Ashley Deen. The notes about the truck say the suspension is stock. Since the supercrew Raptor has a cargo capacity of 1050 lb (thanks to its custom long travel spring and shock package), I wonder if the truck is overweight when carrying the camper, two people and a load of supplies.

I had the same question. I have a Super Crew 4x4 short bed and wanted a slide in but the weight just never made sense. My truck has a payload of 1400. 400 is needed for me, my wife and dog...not to mention supplies. Add 900-1000lbs dry wgt. of camper and it easily surpasses the payload.
Truckcamper.com has an article about the advantages of a pop-up truck camper to a family that used to tow a trailer. David and Jenney Kiel got 10 mpg towing a 22 foot trailer behind their Toyota Tundra crew cab pickup. That changed to 14 mpg at highway speeds with their Phoenix pop-up, a 40% improvement. The truck camper also is much easier to drive over unimproved Forest Service and BLM roads to scenic destinations.

Do you know this camper?
Hello! I got this older popup not too long ago, and I believe it's one of your earlier models. It has some decals on it that say 'The Camper Company - Sales-Parts-Service 303-465-1151'
If you can positively identify it, I have a few questions about it:
1. What approximate year would this have been made?
2. Can the roof support a 50lb canoe, and how / where can I mount some sort of rack to it?
3. I would also like information about the inflatable cab to camper air dam.
The camper is in pretty good shape, really. The roof is straight and the canvas looks pretty good. I had to re-weatherproof the roof with some RV roof paint (around the edges) but it's watertight now.
Thanks for any info you can give!

I Missed Ya'll
Hello anyone who has been checking in on our thread. Sorry for the absence. I honestly thought that the posts from our web site blog were getting transferred over to this thread, and JUST found out that this is not true. So I am truly sorry not to have been updating!
Anyway, here is one of our latest stories:
In a month's time we had three campers make their way up north to our Canadian customers – three very very different campers all customized to each of their customers' specifications and trucks.
The first one that went out and headed up to BC was for a returning customer who upgraded from a Tacoma size PULSE to a Tundra PULSE SC with many special custom features:
Next camper to head up to Edmonton was this great mini PULSE + options on a 4 cyl. Tacoma:
The third camper heading also to BC is this full size Custom PULSE SC + options on a Ford F150 painted to match:

What a great time we had designing these great campers with their new owners!! Enjoy!
