    If you have not seen any of these, it’s basically a diy version of the go fast camper

    Example - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-diy-wedge-camper.604686/

    Does not have the space frame (lower section), this is also larger than ripcords, this is 51"x102" inside so 54"x105" outside dimension and ~7.5" tall

    I have the fabric for the tent material it's part ripstop and part coated vinyl, I have zippers, hook and loop, Keder rail and cord, and the assembled wedge as pictured

    It’s about $2400 invested (just in parts and materials)

    I didn’t like how the 1515 had a little flex to it on the roof so I went to the 1530 extrusion

    The frame set into the roof was to be able to have structure for the fantastic fan
    And the single extrusion in front of it was to be able to attach a wind block to push air over the fan

    Bubble seals

    I didn’t like that the 1st order of bubble seal wasn’t 1 continuous piece on the left and right side so I bought 18ft continuous to redo the sides

    The plan was originally do the red shaded section in the black rip stop, and the grey section with the grey vinyl so that if turned into the wind or rain it would be as waterproof as possible
    Both fabrics are waterproof tho

    I designed the elevation wedge to accommodate being 6”3 and having feet, I didn’t want the last 10+ inches at the narrow end being unusable space, and I wanted to make sure it was not a tight squeeze to climb from the truck bed to the sleeping area

    I wish I could place my order for this to be done, I have hundreds of hours into it, and reworking stuff to be exactly how I wanted it

    I even had most of the steel for the for the base, but some has since been reallocated to a different project
