Get the fan option. If your on the roof with gear, the fan option has additional bracing to accommodate the structural mounting points for it. Makes the roof even more rigid.

 

Yeah, I was going to talk to phil about it. Might go uninsulated and diy later. who knows. the sky's the limit.

 

Interesting...

So, you won't be sleeping like a peasant anymore?

 

still a peasant lol

i don't have a swing out/tire carrier on my HC (didn't want the truck to be an "extraaaa long bed"). Jon's bed rack fixes the spare tire issue

2011 Northstar 600SS Truck Camper

 

Hummmm...that is actually a great idea! I don't have a swing out either and reason I didn't get a swing out because it would make it extra long bed like you mentioned and opening the tail gate is pain in the ass.
I was planning on building a small sleeping platform in the bed that will allow me to sleep in the bed. Biggest issue that kept coming up was what to do with the spare 35' tire. Plus, I have a soft topper so I would prefer everything to fit under that. I can build sleeping platform around the tire, but it takes too much space and if I wanted to take out the tire, I would have to move everything out.

I think I am going to give this a try. Either build/buy something similar.

 

Wow that is cool. I wonder how heavy it is though.

 

heavy for a stock taco

Fourwheel campers look like they're about 200lbs lighter.

I'm planning an extended National Parks tour next summer and debating on whether to hotel it or rent a trailer or just buy a trailer for the trip.

Now pop up cab over are on the list... Although it would be me, my wife and our three sons (10/7/2 y/o) so maybe a popup cab over wouldn't have enough room.

 

16-17' Casita or Scamp, let your trip decide if you keep long term (as long as buy decently used you will get your $$ back). I don't have a good place to park it right now or I would likely do the same.
