Never seen this before in a camper. You would have to have a way to open and close from the front above the truck cab, otherwise there's no huge advantage of being able to enter and exit from the front. Being able to not have to go outside is nice, especially in winter. Also being able to drive away without exiting is nice if things are sketchy.
There is a company that designed a setup like this for the Hummer, but it has removable roof panels. Out of Spec reviewed it a few months ago, I will have to find the video Link.
Tune has talked about something along this lines but they have a lot on their plate. I'm getting a custom fairing made my CO Fairing Company. Will mount the camper's outside T track. Looking forward to seeing how this helps.
Yeah he was toasty for sure. We were not as toasty up top but dog comes first.
No, 15 min stop in Salida RAN. Stopped for dinner too. But I couldn’t make that trip without charging before the camper. Getting over Monarch pass takes a lot of power.
That's what I would have guessed but figured I'd ask. I've done CB over Cottonwood with plenty of margin for a couple nights of camping up off of Gothic (bed rack and RTT with a mountain bike on the hitch, so not the most aero), so I'd think this camper would be able to make it with a 20% hit to range. We have a Turtleback trailer and do Fourmile and back without charging, but dealing with charging while towing in BV or CB has been enough of a deterrent that I haven't pushed further. Seems like the Tune camper would be a good option since you don't have to worry about pull through chargers or dropping the trailer.
Salida RAN has a pull through charger. The CB fast charger is one of the most uncomfortable chargers I’ve used. That parking lot is a post stamp and always packed. Good news is that they fixed the cord. Gunnison fast charger is still a work in progress.
We'll hit Salida, but usually head West on 24 instead of 50. I'm hoping that we see a fast charger with pull through in Johnson Village at some point...
FWIW the insulation kit in my camper made a big difference but obviously not apples to apples. I found my roof was pretty well insulated but the composite walls got cold. I can imagine canvas would be worse and I don’t know what the roof of yours is made of.
Yep it’s the better route in the summer.
Cute pup.FWIW the insulation kit in my camper made a big difference but obviously not apples to apples. I found my roof was pretty well insulated but the composite walls got cold. I can imagine canvas would be worse and I don’t know what the roof of yours is made of.
For the lower portion of the camper I stuffed foam board insulation anywhere I could fit it. I also made window covers and a fan cover, they are 3 layers fabric, Insulbright and Reflectex and then sowed around the edge. My weak point is still the tailgate.
As for heater I bought a Dreo heater on Amazon. It is compact and has 3 power settings (900,1200,1500) also has a digital thermostat so you can set a temperature. Full disclosed the oscillating feature broke on my first one but the company sent me a replacement, I just had to send them a video of It.
