The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

We should all write them an email on the same day nicely asking but also demanding weekly updates.

 

Paid the first half of mine the other day, Cindy locked me in for a November 16th installation date. I’ve gotten my wife on board to try it out, hopefully can keep it that way. Otherwise I’ll be selling and looking for a trailer!

I had to choose colors (black/black/grey on my QS), this is part of what she said:
“We don’t have our color samples “customer ready”, so if you need to see actual colors I can send you what we have. Just know they are rough samples.

1. Canopy Color (Select One)
   1. Black Texture
   2. Silver Metallic Texture
   3. Gray Texture
   4. White Texture
   5. Green Flat
   6. Blue Texture
2. Tent Rail Color (Select One)
   1. Black
   2. Silver
3. Tent Color (Select One)
   1. Tan
   2. Grey

 

Awesome! Finally some good news! Congratulations, and hopefully you can get your wife on board.

 

i wounder what the (texture) is all about. i feel like after looking at roaming lost and photos in this thread, the canopy doesnt appear to have a texture to it

 

It may be similar to the GFC texture, really wasn’t much but enough to keep a shine off it

 

Just think of an eggshell texture. That’s one way I can explain it.

 

it's a common finish with powdercoat.

 

Nice! When did you order again?

 

I ordered August 13th

 

Nice! That does look like they are around a month behind. If that goes then hopefully we see end of Nov/Early Dec.

 

is the black a matte black or shiny? seems matte or satin like but was wondering that.

 

Is the gap at the end the same for Tacoma short bed trucks. I think I read here it’s 20” gap to climb onto the bed platform.

 

I believe so. On the SB the tent extends farther forward on the cab.

 

Thanks, from the pictures it looks like it extends about half way across the cab. Looks good compared to the at overland Series campers which extend almost to the end of the cab. Does anyone have thoughts on durability of the roof material over time exposed to sun and inclement weather?

 

I was wondering about that as well!
I know GFC uses similar panel, but idk what material. Unsure how those are holding up.

 

GFC has their own forum. I was locked and loaded on one until this Super Pacific. But I don’t recall the roof being an area of concern or complaint. I’ll head over there a search. I’d say it’s safe to assume that they have thought through this being that they came from aerospace.

 

im trying to figure out how to configure this heater for my camper build....wish me luck.

 

Looking for roof issues on the GFC forum and found this. https://forum.gofastcampers.com/t/super-pacific-usa-gfc-clone/2868/10
A lot of die hard GFC (soon to be after a year plus wait) owners are not Super Pacific fans.

 

I was tempted with the Gfc until I found out you could not lock the roof and closing the panels seemed not thought out requiring DIY solutions.

What length bed are people planning to mount these on? I’m about to pull the trigger on an off road short bed and planning to install a decked system in for storage with arb fridge on one side. Do you think there is still sufficient room for two people to sit on small benches?

 

Didn’t see anything pop up about roof issues in relation to sun or weather.
