      Me too. I clicked thinking I would see $3,000 dollar “affordable” but the first one was $13,495? Then we go to $6,950 as minimalist. After that I clicked away.

      Overland style toppers are luxuries that usually go for around $45,000.

    It really amazes me how out of touch these companies are. The original campers were made because people couldn’t afford a full blown camper or the campers weren’t tough enough for 4x4 trails. What blows me away is these people thinking $12-20,000 is affordable for basically a bed. I can get a used camper with everything for $2-5000.

      It is coming down to weight, you cannot fit most used campers on the trucks that people are using for overlanding, they're too heavy.
      Lightweight, strength, and a small package for getting into trails. These aren't your dad's camper for going to the park.

      It's the cost! We can see that this market is getting saturated, we can also see a real slow down in the market, unfortunately many of these companies will not make it thru next year, unless they can get those prices down. the dream of going over landing is not becoming a reality for those consumers who were daydreaming with the youtubers during the Covid shutdown, and the ability to input this lifestyle it into their real-life recreation time. @@geographyinaction7814

      Having one of those old style white camper tops really limits the amount of offroading you can do though, they're really meant for touring but if that's all you're going to be doing then they are absolutely a great option. Though I would agree $10K+ is starting to push it for these and $20K+ is pretty crazy.

    As someone who owns a fishing boat, this style of camper would be perfect. We have a truck tent and works great for $250.00. The price point needs to below 10k to make it enticing to purchase.

    • @harrymills2770
      @harrymills2770 7 місяців тому

      Yup. Especially a guy, like you, who probably already has plenty of gear, and all you need is the shell and the sleeping platform.
      I don't much care for the wedge designs. If you're putting something over your cab, already, why give up all that extra space in the pop-up?
      Also, adding length to the topper isn't going to hurt its aerodynamics, because it doesn't change the cross-section. That's why I'm looking for the sleeping platform to extend over the entire cab. That way, you don't have to fool with sliding out the platform to make it a bed, and you don't have to give up any space in the truck's native tub for the sleeping platform.
      I found one the other day, and now I'm combing my browser history to find it, again! It was right around the time I was looking at the Bruin, which comes close. The one I recall weighed about 200 lbs, even, which is like carrying an extra passenger. Not these monstrosities that start at 600 lbs, most of which stuff somebody else thinks I want with me on a trip.
