I saw this, very very noisy in the rain. I had a Sunline 750C aluminum sided and aluminum roof. Very dry unit, but when it rained, even a sprinkle, you heard every drop like being inside a large drum.
I do like the fact that it's lightweight and "can fit a Colorado or Ranger"
Downfall is some of these get too small for comfort.
Neat Idea, too bad they didn't go with a plastic or rubberized exterior panels.

I'd say, based on what I've seen of the factory, production and frame build, that they have the best hard-side camper in the industry, and not by a yard-stick, but by a moon shot.
They're catering to the sub 0.5 ton currently, however they (the manufacturer) states that they are gearing up to manufacture these campers for the *full-sized* truck market.
If they play their cards right, they could literally lead the North American hard-side truck camper quality parade rapidly, and be number 1 in perhaps 5 years.
Kudos to these guys!

They claim a weight(dry?) of 950lbs which is above the load capacity of all the trucks they list. Especially once people and gear are added to the equation.

I like the all welded aluminum tube frame construction, as well as the aluminum skin in and out. I think it's a real winner and this guy has the right company philosophy.
