I'd imagine there's a bed up top correct? I was looking for it, but I guess your camera angle didn't pick it up. Is it a double bed, and does a portion of it pull out into the main area?
I love reading the comments from the these people who have no idea. This is a wilderness setup, strong frame, minimal creature comforts, lightweight, and you will get into places that no tall hard side camper, trailer or 5th wheel will ever go; thank god. It’s not a party house, it’s a camper to live out of not in. I agree, they are pricey for what visible value there is but the true value is intrinsic in that it will give you the freedom that a normal RV will not. Have you ever pulled into a campsite that you though was serene and quiet only to be invaded by party people in huge 5th wheels and trailers blasting their music and screaming. With this camper you can escape all that to quiet, peace, nature, and some great fishing spots. And by the way, there is a year waiting list for one as we speak. I wonder why. And good luck finding a used one for sale.
$70,000 truck and $30,000 camper...to have to still go pee in the woods, and shower with the neighbors. Maybe I have my priorities off, but that seems excessive to not have these basic amenities. I can get a $90,000 cabin in the mountains and a $10,000 Mitsubishi Mirage and still have $95,000 equity 2 years later. Oh, and a place to poop that I don’t fear a scorpion stinging my giblets.
Can you move that cabin in the mountains to a remote beach on the Baja Peninsula, say like next week? Hey, the nice thing is, you make the choice that is right for YOU.
I'm just trying to point out that sometimes, there's a current (and future) value quotient that must be addressed. And for me, for $100,000 I want a place to pee, inside, so that if it's extremely cold, I won't have to tie a string around it beforehand. To me, RVing is about getting away from it all, without sacrifice. That amount of money is just too much for what I personally value. BTW, it's also more than what I paid for my house. I can appreciate a good value when I see it.
Congrats to Marlon on his new Chevy. He writes, "It was because of you guys that me and my wife decided to get a 2021 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 Trail Boss (with the 6.2L of course). I get the fact that there are other trucks out there with more technology, and considered more luxurious, but for me and my family this truck ticked enough boxes to fit perfect in our driveway. Thank you once again fellas, and keep the great content coming." You are most welcome, that's one badass midnight black Silverado.
You showed nothing on how warm it stays or spending anytime in cold weather. You talked truck features. Go spend a week in minus 10 and let me know how the hot water and furnace work. How were the condensation issues? Use it and report back.
My Hawk propane furnace goes 40-50° above ambient. There's a lot of thermal bridging on these soft sided campers, so condensation is a problem. These campers are most comfortable in mild climates.
@@michaelreed1380 they didn't mention anything on it performing in cold... Because soft sided pop ups are basically worthless in cold(real cold) weather.
Growing up we started out with Skamper pop up truck campers. The last one we had was either a 10'or12' with a bathroom & shower,air,heat,a very nice truck camper. I didn't want my Dad to trade it but he did for a Skamper pull trailer pop up,it was nice but having a ski boat it wasn't a good idea,then it was another vehicle to pull the boat a real pain in my ass if my parents weren't going for the weekend or wen going to TN for the weekend or week.My Dad would not admit it until several years later that the best camper was the decked out truck Skamper and said he wished he had kept it to this day. I told him then & now,that was a move I never understood
I'm glad you are happy with it but I'll stick with a traditional camper shell. I don't think camping and extreme off roading really go together. Too many compromises to both activities. But it's nice to know there is something available for the folks that want to try this. I'd keep an eye on the used marketplace. Some big discounts buying used.
I feel like most people are unaware of this, but I personally prefer to run my solar panels at 24v (2x 12v panels), then the charge controller bumps it down to 12v. You only harvest half of the watt energy, but this setup will ensure the solar panels work in even the most cloudy of weather (even snow). A person could even have parallel and series adaptors and swap them out on the fly, depending on the weather. My solar setup works 100%, even in weather like this.
I really like my '17 Hawk, so much better than a RTT. Many things you kinda scratch your head at that FWC doesn't do a better/different job on, but the overall units do seem to hold up well with off-road use, other than branches and the thin siding.
That's where small generator comes in handy with Xtra gas . Running on low hooked to shore power charge batteries and run a electric heater or whatever.
69 Bronco Guy again!! Don Leamon you can get an Alaskan Camper for about the same price new not counting options and it would still be rated for a half ton. alaskancampers.com/alaskan-campers-features-pricing/
But then you don't have a truck for when you need a truck. We opted for this option because we still needed a truck. And it is easier to park than a van is.
@@tremor_n_hawk Then for less than that price you could get a camper with an actual throne in the back. And a van is about the same width, and way shorter than a crew cab 8’ bed pickup. How is that harder to park?
So what happens if it snows overnight while the top is extended up? Will the weight of the snow slowly push the struts down or is there a lock out bar of some type?
That’s a really cool camper, it just seems a little expensive for what you get. For $31,000 you can get a regular truck camper with air-conditioning a black and gray and freshwater tanks a wet shower etc. etc. etc. I would think the real advantage is in gas savings because of the low profile
The real advantage is you aren't gonna take one of those 2,000 pound campers off road. This one being half the weight and half the height can go anywhere the truck will go.
I bought a 2020 Hawk for my F250-19. I admit it is expensive for the market but ability to be off road and it's low weight are valuable enough to me to make it worth it for me. For me it is all about accessibility to areas away from the crowds in camp grounds.
@@TexasScout Also, some of the cheaper truck campers are still made out of wood, or have a lot of wood products in them. The FWC is I'm pretty sure 100% wood free, it only uses aluminum and composite materials so it'll never rust or rot away on you. I personally have a 1984 Grandby model that is still in pretty good shape although I'm in the process of rebuilding it just for fun.
Ive slept in a pop-up camper. I did a three day ice fishing tournament in one. The furnace has to be cranking on high the entire time just so you don't freeze to death. The side walls get soaked with condensation... They're miserable.
I really like this truck. I’d like to see an actual winter overnight trip episode. The price made me gasp though lol. I have zero experience with these but it seems like it’s option list if fighting with the likes of Ferrari for most expensive relative to starting price lol
You're right Chris, there are way better deals out there but they will still cost you. But if camping is what you really like to do. price should not be a deterrent. If you can afford it. You can buy a 4x4 crew cab long bed 1 ton dually with a diesel motor, it should last you a lifetime. (ours is 19 years old and looks and runs like the day we got it.) Then buy the Host Mammoth truck camper. Then you can go pretty much anywhere and live really comfortable.
That has me convinced now to get a Toyota Tundra 4x4. Not too easy on the trails I see. Otherwise, I do like the Ford F250. And get is scratched for some character and memories.
How difficult is it to access the low point drains to drain the water to winterize your camper in between your winter camping trips? Also, it would be interesting to see after spending a weekend in there during the winter how bad the condensation gets on the inside.
@@sgbradley Shave off about 10 grand and you can get a Palomino SS 1500. They put a lot of cheap latches and and the fit and finish is crappy, but all the same stuff is there. We use ours just like this guy does and it works great. (Flushable toilet @ 3am is pretty sweet)
I love TFL, but wasn’t a fan of the constant/only close ups in this video. Was hard to really get a big picture of the campers layout. When all there were was closeups of every part. Would have been nice if we got more wide shots (even though it’s close quarters) to see what the camper actually looks like. It was hard to tell where anything was, with one shot to the next with not context/visual of what area of the camper we were looking at. Just my thoughts. I always enjoy watching, non the less!
This is why people buy retired ambulances and make them into campers It’s almost every time cheaper and you can have a bed, kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower, ooh and a couch
pop up campers are for specific areas, they dont do well in dust, extreme heat, extreme cold and I live in 2 of those areas...I do like 4wheel been to the factory a couple of times decent product with limited useage areas..
People are shocked about the fully tricked out off-road teardrops for 30k but everybody seems good with this for the same price. I’d rather have a light small teardrop and pull it with my 4Runner.
Four Wheel Campers claims that the roof will handle up to 1,000 lbs of snow. The problem is that if it snows while the top is up, you need to remove the snow before lowering the roof (or risk injury). I keep a snow rake with a telescoping handle in mine if I expect snow.
Just seems a bit expensive for what you get. I love these but am not willing to pay what they ask. It’s a box on your truck. Would love to see what the cost to manufacture actually is...
I really like the camper. I have a question. Does the DOT, out west, require hazmat placards on a vehicle? (I realize you have a minute amount on board.)
I don't know the real laws. But it would only ever apply if you were a commercial vehicle. but even then I'm pretty sure a couple propane tanks wouldn't be an issue.
Good morning, I would like to ask you for information, how much is the height in cm from street level to the roof, naturally with the roof closed Thank you.
Привет! Я один раз давно аспирантка по русской литературе! Мне жал-плохой грамматик. I will spare you any more, don’t even remember the right stuff!! I’m planning on putting together a lightweight version of what youve got. Maybe you’d have a little advice for me. I’m getting a F150 lightning. I’m one of those who wants my own amenities. I want a composting toilet, I already use one, I don’t want a black water tank. I plan to go electric. I live in a tiny house using an induction burner, so thats what I will use, a flash electric water heater, electric heating (if needed-with two big dogs I pretty much don’t even need it), and I think all that will save weight and complexity. I’m kind of looking for a shell to finish. Advice?
How about some comments about living in the camper. Room to sit and sleep. Maybe 5 things you really like and 5 things you really don’t like. PS 5 things you wish you had.
My 2021 palomino was $17,000 out the door with everything power roof lift by 4 powered jacks to include shower toilet wet bath and to be honest I thought I was being ripped off ..... I'm not.
Same. You must have gotten the SS 1500? Lots of silly imperfections and crappy latches, but overall a solid rig. Warranty is almost over anyway, so time to start upgrading everything.
Sure, I can't take my TT where you can go with that setup, but for a rich guy that likes that kind of stuff for hunting, fishing, whatever to get out and boondock, well, there you go... Whatever floats your boat.
I guess that's an alright price for poor people but if your better off financially they're are a lot better campers out there with a lot more amenities. And OH, he didn't mention you would need to find some way to carry a ladder to clean that snow off. He also didn't show where you carry those steps he plugged into the hitch. having tent camped for 44 years and RV camped for 12, I can tell you those propane tanks are small and might last one day and night of heating the camper and running the hot water tank. Central heat units use a lot of propane. So If you're planning on cooking too, you better carry an extra tank or two.
I can put the jacks back on my Hawk, undo the four bed tiedowns, and pull away (electric umbilical cord unhook) in ~20-30min. Plan an hour to get it back on. That said, it is a fixture now on my Power Wagon.
@@donleamon8653 I'm honestly surprised your power wagon could handle it. Not trying to be mean it's just my understanding is Power Wagon's have really low payload for 3/4 ton vehicle.
@@bishop4077 - Why? There is no difference between a regular 2500 (or SRW 3500) and a PW other than coil rates/static height and a different bushing setup on the radius arms. My front coils are from Thuren specifically for the PW and the rear has AirLift/OEM springs.
@@donleamon8653 about a year ago sales rep quoted told me that the PW doesn't have the same payload that a regular 25 mega cab has. This being due to the way the shocks and bags were done. Entirely possible sales rep had no clue what he was doing as I didn't even end up buying from that dealership
Yeah, like any pop-up camper with soft sides, condensation is likely. Increasing ventilation can help, but if it's really cold or humid outside, you can expect some condensation. I keep chamois cloths in mine to wipe down the inside of the vinyl in the morning. Have owned one for four years and haven't had any problems with mold or mildew (and I live in the humid eastern US).
Man we love this truck!!!!!

Is this camper exclusively low voltage power? Or does it have the ability to run off 120V when you are connected to shore power?

Same. You must have gotten the SS 1500? Lots of silly imperfections and crappy latches, but overall a solid rig. Warranty is almost over anyway, so time to start upgrading everything.
That looks comfy and all but thats WAYY to big for my cup of tea
Great setup- thanks for the review
Sure, I can't take my TT where you can go with that setup, but for a rich guy that likes that kind of stuff for hunting, fishing, whatever to get out and boondock, well, there you go... Whatever floats your boat.

Come to Fort Mac and survive -40 for a few months in a camper
Nice truck fords are good I've got 2 ford
You should install a heat detector instead of a smoke detector in the camper that way you won't have to remove it everytime you need to cook something
Is the No pavement needed series over?
Where's the part about the slide in camper handling the winter weather?
Wish we had the trucks over here in the uk , and the cold weather to go with it , love the informative content
Can ya Upgrade the Chevy
Great stuff!
What do you do for protection during a hailstorm?
Hope it’s not coming sideways
7:10 crazy year 😅
I guess that's an alright price for poor people but if your better off financially they're are a lot better campers out there with a lot more amenities. And OH, he didn't mention you would need to find some way to carry a ladder to clean that snow off. He also didn't show where you carry those steps he plugged into the hitch. having tent camped for 44 years and RV camped for 12, I can tell you those propane tanks are small and might last one day and night of heating the camper and running the hot water tank. Central heat units use a lot of propane. So If you're planning on cooking too, you better carry an extra tank or two.
Thanks !
Awesome 😍🔥
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!
Oooh 30 grand... Nop i changed my mind you keep it
Hey TFL,in your opinion do you think this will work on a half ton 4x4?
Yes, given that your half-ton has close to 2,000 lbs of payload. This camper starts out at around 1,350 lbs (a little heavier with stuff in it).
Thats sweet
Oh come on guys ..have to be guided down road!!!...
can you do a video on installing and removing it, ie by yourself... or is this a semi permanant install??
I can put the jacks back on my Hawk, undo the four bed tiedowns, and pull away (electric umbilical cord unhook) in ~20-30min. Plan an hour to get it back on. That said, it is a fixture now on my Power Wagon.
@@donleamon8653 I'm honestly surprised your power wagon could handle it. Not trying to be mean it's just my understanding is Power Wagon's have really low payload for 3/4 ton vehicle.
@@bishop4077 - Why? There is no difference between a regular 2500 (or SRW 3500) and a PW other than coil rates/static height and a different bushing setup on the radius arms. My front coils are from Thuren specifically for the PW and the rear has AirLift/OEM springs.
@@donleamon8653 about a year ago sales rep quoted told me that the PW doesn't have the same payload that a regular 25 mega cab has. This being due to the way the shocks and bags were done.
Entirely possible sales rep had no clue what he was doing as I didn't even end up buying from that dealership
How about condensation issues in cold weather?
Yeah, like any pop-up camper with soft sides, condensation is likely. Increasing ventilation can help, but if it's really cold or humid outside, you can expect some condensation. I keep chamois cloths in mine to wipe down the inside of the vinyl in the morning. Have owned one for four years and haven't had any problems with mold or mildew (and I live in the humid eastern US).
30k, too much $$$
