    Unlikely to happen, they are focusing on the campers.

    they said the same thing around this time last year. I went with a RSI which was great over waiting and waiting for the GFC topper! Recently I picked up a full GFC camper.

    A business choice, and smart one. Why enter a market that has lots of competition, when their production already struggles to keep up with their existing product line.

    I've been on the slow build train for a ripcord gcf clone. Had just the shell and no tent for a little over a year. It was pretty dope as just a topper. Get someone to weld you a frame, call a sheetmetal place to cut you some panels and done for less than an RSI smart cap.

    So instead of entering a market that has lots of competition with a product that is innovative and well priced, they entered a market that has lots of competition with a product that many vendors already offer at lower price points, definitely a smart business choice.

    Yep
    @wileydavis , is this still the long-term goal? It's been 5 years and the price has just gone up which is completely understandable.

    It has. I feel like it can be good to take a tacoma world break every now and then :)

    But with the 4th gen coming out, I suspect TW will get spicy and entertaining :D

    The world got weird. We're doing our best to keep it as low as it is. But fair point. Sometimes our own words come back to haunt us :)
