The moonlander is probably my favorite. It’s simple 👍
They’re pretty awesome in person!
It was pretty nice in person, very roomy and quick to setup.
You guys walked right past me on Saturday. I’m a Super Pacific fan and get mine installed next week. Can’t wait. Thanks for sharing.
Awww man you should have stopped us! We had some patches on us to give out. Congratulations on the SP! Hope you have a cool adventure planned to break it in!
I drove down from Fort Collins and talked to Luke and saw the Moonlander in person a few weeks back. I’m paying off a few things, but once those debts are settled, I’ll be putting down a deposit on a Moonlander for my Frontier!
That is awesome!!! We saw it and were very impressed. Can’t wait to see it on your Frontier!
@@OpenRoad4Two also, seeing that I only live about ten miles from the Expo Mtn West, I was super bummed that prior engagements didn’t allow me to make it, but it looks like y’all had a great time!
@@denim_joey we did! Would have been great to finally meet you in-person. To think we researched all about the SP because of the comment we read from you!
Hey alright! this was a great video, thank you. Appreciate the coverage and info. Really really looking forward to the SuperPacific X1. Counting down the weeks, now. Those new panels and soft bags are pretty cool. Thank you for the comparisons. This video will help those in the market for a camper shell. Keep on Keepin on. Take care and be well
Thank you!!! Launch code day is getting close. Hope to see you at an Expo in the future.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing which one you guys selected!
These were some standouts at the show in reflection to cost and innovation.
The best part about the topo topper is the fact that it stay pitch black even in the morning all the other brands seep sunlight through the plastics.
We need our beauty sleep!! 👊🏼 Plus it will helps keep it a little cooler in the summer. Really liked their Toppers, nice construction and features.
Man Y'all got these up QUICK!
Editing while on the road helped!
Great job! I really like Super Pacific.
It is an awesome camper. It would be great if they offered a full pop up version. The added head room would be great.
Super Pacific would be my favorite in the video because their camper clear the Uptop Overland roof rack that's on their truck.
We were eyeing that roof rack! It is a great adventure camper.
Very cool setup 👍
Lots of innovation!
Cool truck campers. I would totally be down for one if our truck was 4 wheel drive. But I wouldn’t want to bother getting one when we would still be limited on where we could take the truck. We even talked about it briefly. But pretty much decided against it. Awesome video, guys.
We were impressed with what is coming out and how companies keep being innovative. It’s always nice to have options to suit different t adventure needs and styles.
Thanks for your pointless and useless comment, Happy Place Camping.
Ty for the info.
Thank you for checking out our video Jodie. 👊🏼👊🏼
Super pacific has cool peeps. Sadly still out of my budget. Glad you put out this video
Hope it helped in your research. Good luck with your build!
They all look great, but can they really keep dust out? From what I have heard, the truck bed itself is not really dust proof - lots of small holes or the seal to the tailgate makes dust come through, or maybe it's because it is flexing a lot.
They actually do a good job, but you are correct there are lots of small holes where the dust does make it’s way in. We have a video where we show how we helped prevent dust intrusion… ua-cam.com/video/CdhrXhNlADo/v-deo.html
Great Video Guys!! Did you see any campers built for the Tacoma that you liked as much or better than the Super Pacific? Did you enjoy Overland Expo Mtn West better than Flagstaff?
Hey Steve. We really liked the Oru Designs hard wall panel camper. It looked great on the Tacoma. Each one had some great design elements. We enjoyed our experience at Mtn. West, it was nice to see some local vendors that we didn’t get at Flagstaff. Plus getting to explore Colorado was epic! Working on that video..stay tuned.
I have been infatuated with Pack Out Campers. Hopefully they will be at SEMA?
There are some great innovations out on the market. Will be interesting see what is at SEMA.
What about the popup tent for a build
👋
Hows that edc camper?
Topo, gofast, superpacific, at campers all the same.
They are similar concepts like Ford and Mercedes, & Honda are the same, but they vary significantly in construction and $$. It’s nice that the market has options for everyone’s adventure style and budgets.
Is Super Pacific still your first choice?
We love SP! However, if we were building the rig today, cost would definitely be a factor. It is great that there are more options now on the market for all budget types.
@@OpenRoad4Two So it’s the best, just just a bit pricy?
@@thetankslapper the cost has increased since our install.
When looking at their engineering and manufacturing, compared to other wedge style canopy campers, we do believe they can justify the added cost of the Super Pacific. However, we believe these are all good choices, comes down to personal preferences and budget.
@@OpenRoad4Two The only complaint I have with the SP on my Gladiator is closing it with the supplied mattress. The side rails actually bow front to rear trying to compress the mattress enough to latch it. Disturbing. I have yet to try to draw out the air with the electric pump beyond what comes out naturally.
Did you see any flippacs?
We did not. However there is the Habitat truck topper by AT Overland. Very good adventure camper.
Really liked the Oru Design USA
@@4x4hoth we were really impressed with their innovation of the hard pop up panels. Very nice design!
A long bed is 8 feet.
It depends on the truck.
@@OpenRoad4Two I guess hon. I have an 8 foot 3500, so, it always makes me giggle.
@@fastgurrrl 😂😂
Yahoo's you have on your show they wanna get rich overnight
🧐🧐
The super pacific is priced to high
Over pay Yup spow
Seen the oru designs in person and it was really disappointing. Lots of design flaws, super flimsy doors and cheap fabric.
Oh wow, that is disappointing. The one we viewed looks great. Hopefully, they will improve on their design elements and materials.
All of these are so overpriced. You can get a pull-behind camper with a queen size bed, kitchen area, bathroom, and storage for $30K. To pay half that price for what amounts to an aluminum topper with a tent on top is ridiculous. None of these should cost more than $5K. The entire overland industry has become a giant grift.
Agree. Inflation has hit every industry, especially over landing. Trailers are a great option for some, but not all. We prefer being more nimble on tight trails.
@@OpenRoad4Two - This isn’t about inflation, it’s purely about greed. They aren’t charging these prices because anything less would cause them to lose money. They are charging these prices simply because they are greedy and know that the popularity of the industry will convince people to overspend. The fact is, they could charge 1/2 the price and still turn a healthy profit. The only way this will change is if people stop paying these out-of-control prices.
@@Toglander What do you think the raw goods cost is for any one of these campers? How many man hours to manufacture and assemble in the US? How much should we pay the staff? What about R&D? Equipment costs?
Can you share with us, the uninformed, how many other hand built US based industries are currently hitting >50% profit margins? (especially considering that 10% would be considered average, 20% would be considered very good)
@Toglander - how many pull-behind campers with a kitchen, bathroom and queen size bed, can go off road places a Gladiator or Tacoma can go? Have you ever turned a truck pulling a camper around on a trail so you could use the winch, etc? How much engineering and tech goes into keeping a wedge camper light enough so your trucks weight and center of gravity are acceptable to off road?
