I've seen so many of these videos done by obnoxious, overzealous salespeople. This one is a refreshing change. No exaggerating, no assumptions, no lying, great presentation. Thanks, guys!
That’s PJ, she is the best Presenter ever!,
Whatever they paid this lady, she was worth it... You really notice how good she is after watching all the other walk throughs in other You Tube videos.
The dry weight of this thing is 1500 pounds per the website. You're well on the way to overloading any 1/2 ton truck once you start adding people and cargo.
I could put myself and a box of cereal inside.
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Eric Joel Instablaster =)
F-150 Supercrew with the 6 foot bed and 4 wheel drive has a GVWR of 7,850 pounds... Truck is about 4,600 pounds so adding this camper will bring you to 6,300ish pounds wet. Leaves you with about 1,500 pounds to play with
@@toddstrackdays5066 u r first mistake is buying a 4 door pickup truck with a 6 foot box ,that is an suv ,if u had a 2 door pickup ,with an 8 foot box, the way it is supposed to be ,ud have no problem hauling a truck camper
She is the best spokeswoman I've seen so far on trailers. Took the time to describe all of the good benefits and practical features.
14:14
The key is it will FIT on a 1/2 ton but at 1500lbs dry weight almost all 1/2 tons will be over payload capacity especially after adding a driver, a passenger and cargo at that point you’re 2000+ lbs. Adding springs or other suspension improvements won’t change your axle or payload ratings, you’ll just be level while overloaded.
You're right on the money. CARRY WEIGHT, not pulling weight is what's important here. Trucks are listed with both, and you can't ignore either.
3200lbs payload is not unusual for a 1/2 truck.
@@AndreasDuessca For a standard F150, Chev or Ram 1500 or a Tundra it is. You can configure a F150 with a heavy duty package that basically turns it into a F250 without the F250 nameplate. The ad was it would fit any 1/2 ton, it won’t.
If you add any options like the air conditioner it will bump up that weight also. I think this camper will be good for a solo traveler who doesn't want a heavy-duty truck and knows how to pack light. I added up the camper, an awning, about 20 gallons of water, and a couple of normal-sized people and got 2,035 lbs. At that weight, you are really close to the max payload of most US 1/2 tons that have been outfitted with a manufactures payload upgrade. If I threw out the husband I'd be able to drive around with some food, cookware, a tablet, clothing, and my Kindle. What more do ya need?
好是好、但缺點是車子分離如果強風吹可能倒下
Okay let's talk about the cost of this camper, $35,000 starting price, it's a nice camper but if you buy one in a few years the deprecation will put the value at half of what you paid for it if you can find a buyer for it (they won't be banging your door down to buy it). Now for $50,000 you can buy yourself a 2021 16 foot Airstream travel trailer, a top of the line travel trailer that has very little deprecation and twice as much room and if you want to sale it people will be kicking your door down to buy it. I'm not an airstream owner or salesman but that extra $15,000 buys you twice as much room inside, a real bed, and a real bathroom, it's a no-brainer.
The truck camper segment certainly isn't the market for everybody. Those who love 'em love 'em, and there's tons of options, as you've demonstrated, for those who don't!
Love this lady's presentations. She does a fantastic job at explaining travel trailers.
Thanks, James! I love showing off trailers! They all have features that makes sense for that specific type of traveler!!!!
I see quit a few commenters comparing this to a 5th wheels and trailers. You put this on a capable 4X4 truck, you can go places where a trailer and 5th wheels can't. This is the main selling point of s slide in truck camper. Of all the truck campers made in North America by all the manufacturers, nuCamp has the most modern design look.
If I'm ever in the market for a hard side truck camper, this is it, I'm currently looking at pop up campers (Hawk by FourWheeelCampers).
Very informative video. Thank you for the tour, PJ.
Forgot to mention, love the tie down system.
Thanks! We love this camper!
a truck camper lets you pull a fishing boat or toy in any dirt road accessible paradise!
She’s so good, she makes you feel like your walking through a mansion.
Helps that she's a little mini 5' tall woman. ;-)
More like Apple launching the same device with altered wordings 😅
yes she is .very detail.
Price?
I have to say, the toilet design is FANTASTIC.
The payload capacity for my half ton Dodge is 1500 pounds. The dry weight of this camper is 1500 pounds. Add wife, dog, water, propane, and gear...and you now need a 2500 truck. She wasn't lying when she said it will fit in a half ton truck, but that is the level of deception these dealers will use to sell you a camper. It may fit in a 1500, but It's too heavy.
My half ton has a 1900 lbs. Easy day
You make the most detailed, complete, and well thought out videos I've seen for RVs on TH-cam. Please keep up the great work. Cirrus is lucky to have you as a dealer.
Agreed. I appreciated her calm and clear way of presenting.
Is there shower inside?
@@henrybai2989 negative
L😅L , she screwed entire americ🇺🇸n camper inventions and credits for all exp//innovations by puting unbelieveable toilet difficulties.. u dont put ur buppuups inside a tiny camper
You're the one person that can demonstrate a cassette with such grace and finesse, not to be funny. Tony
She is just as graceful when demonstrating 8-tracks and CD's!
Had to aggressively remove my camper from the dealer today after 3 months of waiting for repair and lies. Cosmetic fixes that were promised for the beginning of December still weren't complete even though they assured us "100%" they would be by today. I'll have to install the floor and repair the trim myself now. @Princess Craft & Lance Camper
I love the way she explains the features unlike other ppl who go "umm" every moment when showing a new feature
I thought I was the only one !!!!
Did she say 33k-35k.. No-way, how can that even be justifiable? Does it come with some oohh-lala or gold-plated faucets? I just saw a video for a 2021 Viking Saga for 12k-15k pull-along. Not as convenient as having a truck bed camper, but has all the same amenities. Crazy, I never knew they were that expensive.
Everything is bigger in Texas.
The top of the line, four season ones for full sized trucks start at $55K.
You want to see expensive, check out pop up campers. The ones that sit real flat. They are way overpriced for what you get.
NuCamp and Lance are the airstream of truck campers. Both have a lot of quality in their builds. I do think they are pricy but all of the RVs are these days, thanks to that thing that is going around. I love that it seems nice and airy. I love the openness of the bed area.
Even PJ's stellar presentation skills can't hide the fact that Cirrus dropped the ball with the bathroom. They have the best wet bath truck camper solution in the industry with the Cirrus 670. Why didn't they use it with the 620?
The presentation was equally impressive as the camper. Both outstanding. Great job on the build!
Glad you liked it!
Looks like a great and well thought out system for the size. Exterior cassette unloading is great.
I suggest adding locks to all exterior panels. It will only keep out the opportunistic thieves, but better than no locks at all.
Saw it here first! Glad they made this option available. Way to go NuCamp. It reminds me of our camping life when we had our pop-up, except instead of dragging around a trailer everything is up in the bed.
First time here and I already love PJ. Articulated, good camera presence, perfect voice for voiceover, or even infomercials. Cool. Happy Holidays everybody!
The perfect tutorial... I feel like I know everything about this camper.
Does it have a water heater or furnace?
I think that is what the Aldi system does. It is the heat for the camper plus it does the hot water at the same time. I think 🤔
I do not know what princess craft pays this lady to be the spokesperson but she worth double anyone else. She is what being a classy lady is all about.
to the presenter and photographer - thank you for taking the time to do this - you have a very high level of professionalism - :)
The camper 4 tie downs is really perfect why didn’t others think of that. Thanks
PJ is among the best at doing walk arounds. Having said that, you have to be good in order to make a 30 min presentation on this unit. Incredible lack of features and high price point..over $30k and no real toilet or any kind of shower??
No thanks.
She is the best sale lady of all time
35K?? I'll just purchase a nice tow behind with slide outs and full size amenities, for much less I might add. Also good luck with that price point in the up coming economy.
Everything will be pricy in the economy because of hyperinflation. Well, things aren’t pricy, the value of the dollar is dropping rapidly.
When hyperinflation hits, that'll be the price of a head of lettuce.
Single and would absolutely live full time in this. The thing I like is the toilet feature and you can even be discrete as far as emptying it. Now you just gotta figure out what to do as far as showering otherwise you could live in this easily. Plenty of space and features
Wow, that is super fancy. I look forward to buying one third hand in about 10 years.
It’s a great design and will only improve over the years!!
Very good tutorial! You did that all without having to do multiple takes. Nice camper!
Great little camper. Just wish it was a little bit more affordable. Weird that you can get a fully decked out pull behind with way more features for a lot less!
You are always so thorough and graceful. Thanks for a great review!
No shower is a deal-breaker for me. Otherwise, nice!
The $30,000 price is what turned me off
It’s got an outside shower
They are double that amount in Canada, $55,000 + -$60,000 , $30,000 is peanuts 🥜
Truck campers are all expensive. I would rather have a shower than a toilet
@@donkeyballs3307 WOW.
Great looking small truck camper. But, as usual, there are basically zero 1/2 ton trucks that could mount this within specs.
My RAM 2500 Cummins has a 2K payload. So it would barely handle it. I'm sure lots of people don't let physics get in the way though.
Looked at a 2022 model on dealer lot 9/23 .opening overhead cabinet door, the glued on trim pieces fell off! That's when I walked away!
Yes right "This Old RV " i was thinking the same .. watch her since years and she is the best , most detailed i have seen about RVs as well . Thank you , it's always a pleasure !
Excellent presentation from PJ.
So many walkarounds are either monotone, boring lists, or overly-zealous, cringeworthy affairs.
I rarely watch any clips over six minutes, but you kept my attention!
Thanks.
These are very nice. I just bought a new RAM 1500 6.3 bed so I may go this route rather than haul a trailer around. Always boils down to money and these, like everything are pricier in Canada.
I still don't understand how they can claim this will fit weight wise on a 1/2 ton truck, WITHOUT major modifications to rear axle, adding transmission cooling system, and the overall of factory installed suspension.
Yes, that's right. You really need a 3/4 ton truck, but then you have a tiny camper with no shower and a small refrigerator.
@@richardh5431 a d the cost!!!
And!
30 to 35k for the budget minded RVer ? Give me a break ?!
A lot cheaper than a Lance
@@mctigmctiggy1475 No its not. I paid 28k for my 28 foot Shadow Cruiser, and 7k for my Armada that pulls it. I have way more for around the same price.
It’s really not. That is a quarter of the materials and craftsmanship as mine. Should be a quarter the price.
Lmfao right
I was waiting for this - but $30K??? $15K and you have a winner. This is DOA. For an operation the size of Nucamp, they could have made this cheaper. Yes, people are thinking of RVing with the pandemic, but vaccines are coming out and not many will spend $40K with taxes for a 1/2 ton truck camper. It's too small and limited for the hardcore RVers who will spend that money,. and too expensive for the casual buyer.
I think 15k is asking a bit much. Check out the Kimbo camper for 1/2 tons. The best they can do is 20k for a basic unit.
@@jmpattillo Agree. $20K is ok. But $35K $40K that they are asking is too much (and no inside shower too). I actually really like Alaskan Campers with the hard shell that pops up but $$$. Capri not bad too.
We love your walkthroughs! Thanks for sharing!
at 2x speed playback its perfect presentation, at 1x it feels like i need to give those vocal cords a washing with a stimulant to speed themes up
Lots of Innovative features with this one. Would buy a pop up version of this one if it is ever built
Very well explained
This lady knows wht she is doing
This is an AMAZING little unit!
1,500lb dry weight is going to max out just about all 1/2 tons.
You can add a camper package to the F-150 and be well within this weight limit. Requires the 5.0 v8 and some other stuff but if equipped right this truck camper should be no problem. You are correct in that most of the luxo-barge 1/2 ton "trucks" out there are too weak. But, they have nice leather ;-)
1500 lbs is under the payload for all of them, which increases with the package selection. That’s why camper packages and suspension packages are a thing.
Modern half tons do a lot, and I say this while calling a 1 ton dually the baby truck. They’re not what they used to be.
You are one class act. Love your energy, and perfectly paced and informative. Cheers!
That looks like the inside of a futuristic spaceship.... thats the coolest interior I've seen!
Very nice just wait for next demo for the actual installation on the pickup thanks.
She is so good at these videos.
So, to use the toilet, first I have to grab it with both hands and swivel it out. Then when I’m done, I again have to grab it with both hands and swivel it back to its stored position. Ugh. “Great feature, right?” 😝
Well, when you put it that way...😁
I'd like to actually see the battery compartment and maybe see some measurements. Many of us have expensive batteries already, really curious to see if they'll fit.
What an amazing talent in explain the details. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
I think they should've went with a Dometic Burner Sink combo and moved the fridge across next to it. I get it that they're trying to cut weight for a half ton payload capacity but at least fabricate a light weight & efficient partition to hide yourself from using the toilet.
She's an awesome tour guide! Nice job!
What I want is motel room, bed, sink, submarine shower, AC, heat, with a throw in small refrigerator. Nothing else, no huge heavy cabinet work, stove, ovens, TV. etc. Even a microwave, no, much prefer my own infrared toaster oven, weight 3 or 4 lbs if that. We can cook outside if needed, on grills, eat at Marina's dock bar, etc.
Better yet no bed, mounts for two hammocks.
She has amazing walkthroughs.
Realistically though, this won’t work with a large majority of half ton super crew models.
I'm still waiting for that 670 concept to be made, it was perfect
Yes, and it's a shame they got rid of the shower in a four seasons camper...
@@volhv1973 are you saying they got rid of it in the concept?
@@mattmab25 no, in 620. I hoped that 620 is going to be really close to 670...
@@volhv1973 they didn't mention this being a four seasons in this video but I was curious if it was. As of now the 670 is the best choice for me.
@@mattmab25 yes, but it was just a concept. They don't have any plans to manufacture 670
Phenomenal walk through, very nicely done. Great camper for what it is. nuCamp will sell a lot of these.
she goes straight to the point, thats rare nowadays
They should had lowered the red and put the micro above it. They really need to improve the finish inside of the storage compartments.
Too much weight, too small, for $30 - 35,000, I can eat out & stay in a lot of hotels/motels. Living in a phone booth doesn’t sound like much of a vacation. I think I would look into a pull behind, first. Still, it’s a good review, & A very good looking set up. To each, his own.
The outside and the inside of any truck camper is nice shiny when new. What about what is inside the walls? is there a wooden structure? what Rate of insulation does it have?
When the camper is lowered into the bed, how can you reach the front ratchet straps to tighten or untighten when removing?
There's probably a small access door inside the camper.
Great demonstration, besides it already has it all i would try to get an extra rail to attach a shower curtain outside. Does only need to be a metal rail that clicks into two holes. The curtain can than be hooked on and easily cleaned after being removed. Seems people want that privacy, right?
30k??? WOW very nice looking camper but price is ridiculous
This is perfect, while your partner is cooking, you can sit behind on the throne doing your business :-)
LOL!!! Or do your business while cooking breakfast... That's just crazy!
Lol
Yeah, I wish you could opt out on the toilet.
Partner? Geez
@@graphguy Problem ?
That's a cute little ice cube tray. It looks like a kids toy. This was interesting to see.
Thumbs up for telling us the price from the start.
Unit does not have a Wardrobe but would be nice if they had an area for a coat hook to hang your coat or rain coat if need be. Would be nice to see a rear awning. If it is raining without a rear awning as soon as you open the door whole entry is wet along with everything you have in the door pockets. And the ALDE system takes up to 4 hours to heat the camper but will heat the Glycol with electric if plugged in so your not burning LP. Ratchet straps will not last long. Make sure you carry a spare. Unit seems to be overpriced in comparison to other Manufacturers. Fully loaded, with the 3 extra options, should be $20,000 to $25,000.
Why didn't they add the extra few feet the back to hang over. Even my dad's camper had that in 1960's.
I think weight, center of gravity, and the flexibility to fit shorter than 6' beds would be my guess.
Lot's of folks don't like to tow a trailer or boat with those super long hitch extensions (aka stingers). Which is necessary when the truck camper extends beyond the rear bumper.
The hang over seems top heavyweights
But if that means a private toilet area, then worth it.
6:43 I'm a little worried how the camper already has a roof leak visible in the upper portion of the cabinet and a little wall staining between the spice racks. Is the quality, in the 620, just not there like the other nucamp products? Just a little disconcerting seeing that.
Good eye.
I was wondering what that Mark on the spice rack was. 30k and it already leaks! No way!!
I can see some discoloring, but when the camera backs up, it disappears... So, I'm thinking that it's just bad lighting and shadows. ???
It’s a knot in the wood that took the stain a bit darker.
It's an insane price for something so small!! Absolutely insane, just buy a truck cap and purchase individual items to place within for customization. $35,000 = you are nuts!! Did I say you were nuts??
I'd want to add Battleborn Lithium batteries. Neat little camper. Wish you could put a standard Queen Mattress.
You sound like Lynn Adams, the voice of tv show “ how it’s made! “ I love her voice, great product , thank you for your excellent presentation!
Excellent walk-through as always. I love the openess and windows, especially the skylight in the bed area, but the toilet is a deal-killer for me. If someone has to go in the middle of the night and you've got company there is no privacy. For the 1/2 ton truck I'll probably look at the Lance 650. Even though I hate a refrigerator in the bed area (they can be noisy and drip liquid) It has a dedicated shower/toilet area. I do wish the Lance had more windows, especially in the bedroom like the Cirrus 620.
It's nice but for nearly half the price you can get a small tow behind camper with air and heat. Which makes no sense because you always also have an axle, tires and wheel cost and it's still a lot less.
It would be grate if you had a wider door . You could take a small motorcycle with u inside to unpack when on site
Surprised they didn't show the roof or what happens to the table when you take it away. Also how hard does the table unfasten? Who knows. I would have shown the interior with all lights off too. This way you could have had an idea of how much outside light is bleeding through. Would have given a better idea on how much lighting there is here. Some nice features here. I like the frig and sleeping arrangement.
So...putting this camper on a new 2021 Ford F-150 hybrid truck with the generator and you have a true off grid camper with AC.
Let's just hope the 670 gets made because it's wayy better
@Cannedy Wright definitely not doable without a lot of tinkering but just keeping a generator with you is a better plan.
You'll be wildly over your legal weight limit.
@@natemink572 that's not even true the fords have the highest payload capacity go google some things
@@mattmab25 I own an F150 and my previous truck was an F250, I don't need google. This camper is not suitable for a 1/2 ton, period, end of story.
wow, very good video amazing job. very impresive
CJ, you're the best. VERY well done!
I would install a tv with a satellite dish lowered from the ceiling at an angle of 90 degrees from the entrance. lying on the bed facing the entrance one could watch tv
Funny looking Airplane !!
Indeed it is!
30-35K? 😂 No way worth that much! What does it have gold plated faucets?
At 14:44 you mentioned the regrigerator only uses less than 3 watts. I'm sure you meant 3 amps. Great presentation, take a bow.
I guess i should look into buying a hearty and capable truck first.
I understand you can’t please everybody. My gripes are, loose the cubby and make a bigger fridge. Loose the side cubby’s and make a wider bed. Thicker too! Not crazy about the open toilet. But I understand there are limits on a short camper. My 2 worthless cents.
Not worthless! I had the same refrigerator comment. Apparently there was not a slightly larger size on the market that would fit the space. To get taller, they probably get deeper and wider. Thicker mattress? Heck yes!
I'd like a demo of just how to crawl up in that bed. I'd never make it. For $38,000 it should have an escalator. What are the weight limits for the bed? Inquiring minds...
Keep the crapper and use the savings for the A.C. I'm way out in the middle of nowhere out in the desert . No one else but me. I'll crap out in the desert . Who's going to see me ? 🤔🤷🏼♂️ Piss bottles are cheaper . Old Gatorade bottles work great . I hope the insulation is good . It gets average 115 out here in the summer months . HOT 🔥🌞
Mr Cripple Guy... For a quick pisser, I use those Fuji water bottles.. They have a larger opening, ya know what I mean..!
plus, the plastic is thicker/stronger.. Wife agrees with me on this one, at least..
Good Luck in the heat..!! Man, come to Northern Wisconsin in the Summer, perfect weather..
The statement that gross weight (dry) is 1,500 is not true. It is more like 1,800. This is why the 620, weight wet with passengers and gear, will not work with a half ton. The 620 requires a 3/4 ton (F-250) and this is disturbing since NuCamp markets the 620 as suitable for a half ton. If you compare the plate data for any half-ton with the wet weight, passengers, and gear for the 620 it is obvious the 620 requires a 3/4 ton (F-250). I think NuCamp is very dishonest to market the 620 as a good match for a half ton. It’s a nice little camper but get a F-250, not a F-150, if you want to carry it.
30 grand? You can't be serious!
Seriously can't believe the price for these things
I was surprised. I’ve seen far lower quality, used, truck campers, going for $50k.
Five hundred ruber
That's what I thought! As soon as she said that I was in total disbelief. Damn near smacked myself.
I've found these used (maybe 2 years old) for a few grand lol. Not to mention Motor Homes & Travel trailers. Unreal
I think there should be a model like this without overhead bed.
Have dinette turn into bed. Who wants to climb into a bed when your old?
PJ is awesome. I wish i was in the market to buy one, because I'd buy from her!
Great information video, can't believe how much campers have changed since the 60's...
Nice camper. PJ does a great overview of all the rigs.
.
PJ is the best reviewer out there.
Great video, you gave a ton of good information on this camper. Thank you
