There should be standing height at the rear of the truck bed when the tent bed is in position allowing acces to the bed without having to remove the bed platform panels. The heater exhaust port should be located in the lower part, not up in the sleeping area. Keep the heat source low as heat rises.
I've had a FlipPac on my truck for 13 years. This is a hard sided "version" with extra features - something to think about. There are some interesting suggestion below. I'd like to spend an afternoon with you looking at the CAD drawings > maybe some next steps?
I was initially opposed due to the hard sides. I am a photographer who travels a lot and am looking for a good solution while on the road. I’ve spent the last 2 years in serious research mode. But…I was just made a cat dad, and the cat will be coming with on many of the road trips. The hard sides make more sense, as does the larger space of an 8 foot bed. Being able to mount an air conditioner is key as well. Very interested!
Just call that sleeping area "The Easy Bake Oven", I can only imagine how hot that tin box is going to get on a 30 degree day. And where are the screens? That thing would be full of flies and mosquitos in 2min. Weird design to be sure. I'll fix it for you if you hire me as your design engineer, only $200k per year lol.
A bit niche due to the lack of a crew cab but will make an amazing journey for 2. Wonder how the metal used on the tent would actually affect cooling and insulation in extrem temps despite the claims.
That back deck area would be a great place to cook in bad weather. I prefer not to cook inside and when the ground is really muddy it's a pain to cook outside. This lets you cook outside and stay clean with no food odor inside the camper.
The side deck plate for the heater or a/c can be purchased from a supplier as an individual unit, for more details, feel free to reach out to info@antishanty.com
If I win the lottery, I'm buying an International Sportchassis. It's the largest production pickup in the world (sorry Ford!). Then I'll have one custom built to fit the truck bed exactly.
Do us all a favor and explain why. Otherwise, you just sound like a GFC/SuperPacific/Alu-Cab/Harker/DirtBox fanboy who just hates on stuff because it has a different brand sticker on it.
Great design and construction! Cool to see so many great ideas implemented!

Yup, poor design, but let's them two existing stuff together...
yeah i agree, it should just be a flat pop up roof all the way across
100% correct
Why not make the tent bigger if the bed and cap are huge?
cause that would cut into profits lol
$$$
Definitely needs a bigger tent / sleeping area. Somehow get it to fold out into a 8’x8’ tent. That I would buy.
Wow NICE !!! Love your design guys !!! One day I’ll have your dwellshell on my truck !!! Keep it going guys , you rock !!!!

It would be great to see a truck canopy only option from you guys.
Nice work guys!

Hell yeah!
Hell yeah is right!
How about a full height vs wedge tent
cool! i could maybe make some different design choices but i like what you are doing!
Wow. Still the best imo
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that!
Wow! Nicely done!

This is a mansion to that guy, cause he looks like he lives in a hollowed-out log.
Haha, thanks man!
Awesome!
Thank you man! Appreciate it!
one day!! just hope that day comes soon lol
We are with you there!

Could be a great spot to whip something up as you wake up, or to get out of the mud. We like the way you think.
Amazing work. Would y'all consider doing a passthrough sunroof for the standard RTD?
Great question. It is something that we could potentially supply materials for you to cut and trim out.
Buen trabajo.
Muchísimas gracias
Wish top pop up was about 2 ft longer.not all way but close. ❤
This is dope
How do you not get water/snow inside while opening/closing the RTD?
Gave you a sub from Upstate New York. Do you make one for 2022 chevy 2500hd 6 foot 9 inch bed
Yall missed the mark on this one, we want a larger tent, for more walkable space in the bed.
Did I miss the screens on the upper windows?
The screen design for the upper doors is getting dialed in! 👍🏼
Do you sell that heater port separately

seen this in logan a bunch.
Glad to hear it! We do all of our manufacturing right here in Logan!

Would be lousy to lose keys to all those locks
Nope...no mosquito screens....Otherwise, looks pretty good.
So many bad design issues with this and the public have listened them all in the comments.
This is such a bad design if you can't see how it's mind boggling. What a waste of materials 🤦♂️
Nah
