The Drifter - Specs and FAQ

Hahaha you too? The video on Instagram of the tent deploying is awesome. Can’t wait to see more of these in the wild

 

Any idea when the pricing on the options will be available? And what kind of lead times we are looking at once released?

Trying to see how much stuff I need to pawn off haha

 

Info is on the first post of this thread:

 

I saw the base price, curious about the options, specifically windoors.

 

Do you have a link to this video? Thank you!

Regards,
John

 

I can't embed this since it is an Instagram Story on Phil's feed, but here's the link directly to the video file.

 

Thank you Jason. That was great! I'm just waiting for a gen 1 tundra model to come out.

Regards,
John

 

BTW you can embed Instagram pics just by entering the url as text

Oh, it works with multi-photo/video posts now. It didn't last time I embedded on here so I dug for the URL of the video. Also, I think most people that don't read the entire thread would know to click the hidden arrow on the embed to get to the video anyway... I predict on page 7 someone will ask for the opening video again...

 

It actually works surprisingly well. I agree about clicking the arrows though. I almost didn't post it for that very reason. It seems out of context not seeing the video as the first image.

 

@Iggy will a full rear door be offered like on the v1?

 

This is unreal! If the Canadian dollar ever matches the USD again I’ll be calling you guys promptly!!!!

Forsure would have to have some sort of corrosion prevention on it up here though

Great work, looking forward to more information

 

Yeah, I worry about the corrosion since I'm moving to Colorado and apparently they switched back to salt from magnesium chloride in the past few years. Goodbye to my nice and clean California truck that I only ever needed hand tools and an 8" breaker bar to remove anything.

 

Haha I just missed it, no biggy I’m just being impatient, i think I was just killing time anyways. Love your truck, I’m so glad that these style of campers are finally becoming a thing. I’ve always thought they would be the best type of setup for us non fair weather campers

 

Well, I was lucky enough to get a peek yesterday.

I'm not going to talk specifics, obviously, because it's not my place to do so. But let's just say that excitement is definitely justified.
Phil and Iggy really geek out about all the little details and evaluate them from all angles, which is a great thing for the rest of us.
...Don't forget that the Drifter came out of their desire to build themselves the perfect camper. And they're still approaching it with that same mindset.

I know a few people have voiced frustrations with the availability of specs/information, (and the guys have already given their explanation) but let me just say that your patience will pay off. You're not going to be disappointed with the finished product.

 

Yaaasss! True story.

 

Couple more Drifters on the road!

So awesome!

 

The excitement is building! Looking forward to the moment my truck is “featured” in a video.

 

Super excited about your new campers!

How much weight will the roof be able to support while it is in the open position. Is there any sort of positive locking mechanism? I can imagine going to sleep and it snowing overnight. I would be worried about the weight of the snow closing the struts. There may be a different way of locking it which would make this a non issue.

I am also interested in the coating options. It would be awsome to have the whole thing powder coated.

Thank you for devolving this. You guys have done a ton of work on it and I hope it pays off for you!
