Walk in camper shell on 2nd gen?

That is a flippac, retains the stock tailgate and a flip up rear window. No longer available new, and when they were they were ~5k$

 

For $5000 you can get a used 4 wheel camper

 

for $500 you can deal with not being able to walk into the bed..

I saw this at a show in Albuquerque, nice but pricey though.

 

I have an are contractors cap with double doors. Picked it up used for about $250 and we absolutely love it. We mountain bike and use it almost every single day. We use it a lot to change in and out of mtn biking gear so we climb in and out of it a lot and I can't imagine trying to get in and out dealing with a tailgate (especially trying to get out). The doors make it super easy. Built benches with hinged lids for storage under. Have a clothes line to dry sweaty gear. We even tote around a flushing toilet. Before buying a teardrop we used a blow up mattress for camping. If I can figure out how to post pics I will.

 

That's an awesome set up!!

 

What's the locking tailgate issue?

 

The tailgate locking issue is that it doesn't lock, keeping your bed contents (when covered in some fashion) unsecure. If you go to a topper and have a door, you have a cover and a locking door/tailgate.
