Every passing moment in this video impresses me more and more. I didn't think it would be possible. Such a fantastic product... It's exactly what I wanted
Color me impressed! Clearly it's a well thought-out design. Aesthetically pleasing, looks great. Love the interior lighting and the integrated USB ports. I'll be sure to show this to my friends.
Very cool build. So glad to see you support models other than just Toyota. I am planning to order one of these for my 07 Chevy Silverado (short bed) soon. This seems like a bulletproof build you have here - you guys rock!!
Awesome RTT, I just saw this up close at the Off Road Show in Pomona, CA today. Love the side rail panels for additional accessories to be mounted, the lighting on the roof top ~ ridiculously sick and the locking mechanism really stealthy. Base price at $6500, Side Door extra and other options available, I might have to break out the 401K to get it. RTT really looks great!
I`m just watching this video again and again.. you dont even know how cool this is (well... you know, thats why are you doing this :) ) compared to all the other ones on the market... It is a true off roader camper setup!!!
What we’ve all been waiting for! You guys definitely filled a void in the market! Hope you can keep your price point going! It’s a great deal for what looks to be a top of line well engineered camper! Love it!
I love the design, utilitarian and well built. Thank you for including the information about the components that are designed and built in house, that really helps maintain QC when you manufacture your own components. Those who can appreciate quality in design and execution are willing to pay for it, but only if they are aware of it. If you are committed to this platform it will be interesting to see how it evolves. One thing that has always bothered me about the truck/topper platform for camping is the less than comfortable entry/ exit of the camper (perhaps it's just the price of admission).
This is TOPS people. I got to see this at SEMA. Very impressive. Out of all the stuff I looked at, this system caught my eye. It's unbelievably simple, yet very well made!
I saw your camper at overland expo west. I filmed a part of your camper but lost the other half of my footage some how. So bummed. I wanted to post the video on my channel. I hope to see you guys at other events so I can film a full interview.
GoFastCampers I'm looking for a system for a "new 6.5 ft bed F-150" that is the same level as the roof of the truck when it is closed. It would have to stick out over the back a bit instead, maybe with a sloping rear lift gate. Nobody makes a system that fits in the garage door to my underground parking.
Do the panels make the pickup bed reasonably warm in winter with a sleeping person in there or is about the same as the tent? It doesn't sound like they are insulated.
Awesome product! I am interested down the road. For this specific set-up with new Tacoma, do you know the top height of the camper on stock suspension? My concern is wanting to leave the camper on year round (or mostly) but I go into parking garages downtown for work. I have a 3 in lift currently and my stock antenna hits the 6'4 or 6'6 height barrier but I have some space below that. Also, have you used heat sources with maybe one section of the bed out to warm in inside space for cold/skiing conditions to camp? Thanks!
Love the camper. I have three questions. How long does it take to install the camper to the bed of your truck and how long does it take to remove the trailer from the bed of your truck? Ever consider adding a screen on the side panels to keep the bugs out?
While others are continuing to add to their lead times, we've been focused on efficiency and decreasing our own lead times. Customers who make a deposit today can have their camper installed as early as February.
Very good review and details,im close to making a purchase,2023 tacoma long bed,just made apt. For air bags and feb uary should be able to pull the trigger and buy one.only one question,i know its weird, but i like my radio stations,how is the reception with the tent over the shark fin antenna?
I have ‘20 Tacoma TRD off-road access cab long bed (obviously), will I need an add a spring for this camper weight so it doesn’t sag? Will I be able to get my 450 dirt bike inside (height wise)? Also is there an “winter package for the tent available? Will my satellite connection work since the camper overlaps the roof receiver? Thanks! This thing looks Great!
I would look into vagabond! its kinda the same thing. after i got my V2 GFC i wish I went with vagabond but oh well. with my '19 trd tacoma i went with ARB's dakkar "660" lb leafs in the rear
Hey guys, I love the camper. I have a normal aluminum camper with windoors. On the inside of the windoors I have tool boxes (factory from the camper builder). I love being able to store my recovery gear, air compressor etc. on one side and guns or fishing gear on the other. I'd hate to lose that storage area. Do you have any storage that could go into the space when you open up that side door? Keep up the good work.
Hello GFC. I have 2 questions for you. 1 - How do I wash the rear window of my truck if I can't access it? Important detail if you get the window option on your camper. 2 - Isn't there any concern about water pooling between the mesh screen and the window flap? From what I've seen from this video, the flap zips down to the floor of the tent. I really don't want to deal with a soaked matress or wet equipment. Thank you.
Washing your truck would be similar to how its done with any topper, and there is drainage in between the mesh screen and window flap that runs away from the sleeping area. Water cannot enter.
Someone might have asked and it might have already been answered, but why are the gas shocks on the outside of the camper instead of the inside? Thanks!
Hey Kristian, we are currently building a production unit with the first set of front and rear windows. If you stay tuned with our facebook or instagram account (@gfc_usa) you will be able to see updates as they happen.
This would work for me. An awning for the big door of the tent would be nice to block a light rain while still being able to see out and keep the air flowing. I’ll have to start saving my pennies
Really digging this... curious if you have any plans to be at the Outdoor Expo in Flagstaff? Would love to see this in person, as well as talk to you about when later model Tundra models might be available... thanks!
Wow! 250 lbs. The proprietary hinge/latch hardware and aluminum extrusion frame look awesome. Question: Could a 270 degree, wrap around canopy attach to the aluminum frame? Keep up the great work. Will you exhibit at Overland Expo East in November?
I am curious about installing...does the manufacturer provide the installing service?and, is there any locking system inside the platform for the security purpose?
How do you get in and out..? There seems to be angled bars in the tailgate area?. That doesn't seem like a great plan... But cool idea in other ways though.
Its still not clear to me why not make the tent longer so a person can get out without messing with the pads. Also if it rains how are you going to ventilate the tent while not letting the water in.
Nothing was mentioned about storing your sleeping gear up top when closed? I don’t like removing my sleeping bags and pillows (I have a hard sell RTT now that I store everything inside). I just want to set the bed and close the top. It this possible? Thinnest camper quote worries me as I would like it 1-2 inches thicker so you can store sleeping gear up there. Please let me know. Camper looks great!
Thanks for reaching out! You can totally fit down/synthetic sleeping bags and camping pillows up there and still close the lid. Really heavy Coleman style stuff may be a tight fit, but with this camper it's a lot easier to pull bedding out and store it below than in any other RTT.
Sure is tempting. Two issues; first I wouldn't want a translucent roof (probably not an issue) and second is, "Camper orders placed today have an estimated start date of May 2021." I understand why, but not certain that I want to wait that long
Hey Paul - we have a long lead time due to high demand. Feel free to shoot us an email or request a call via our website and we can answer any questions. Support@gfcengineering.com
i'm not saying they should've gone all the way because it is a great product but man, the space it would have provided had they done the same as the flippac. im not sure if that was because of patents or what, but i would pay an extra 1,000 if they could have a 180 degree hinge and a tent top. i understand that they felt having a hard top and the overall design of the set up is far stronger than what i might be asking for. i think its a great product, i wonder if they can accommodate custom orders.
Definitely familiar with the flippac. This is a better solution for weather, ease of setup and durability. The flippac was not cheaper, and the build quality was much lower.
Questions... Does the camper affect the Satellite XM radio reception since it covers the antenna? Can it be painted to color match ur truck? Truck caps usually have seal issues with the back door causing dust to get into the bed. Is the back door completely seal from dust?
Cool build ! Met you guys at Adventure Driven after OX last spring. (Green Ram). Love the light concept. Anything for full size rigs yet ? I'll share on my outdoor page. Be well! Maybe see you at OX 18 ?? Jim

This is the answer to my needs, a camper that can be still be used as a regular pick up which is most of the time. brilliant.

Overland Expo East for sure

Height is vehicle specific, but our camper typically adds around 7" to vehicle height. Send us an email for specifics.
Hello beautiful product. Would you say the side panels keep out the dust from a trail enough for someone to sleep in the truck bed?
absolutely, and thanks for the kind words!
I have one ordered and will be picking it up in June 2022. I didn’t see anything about the led light strips? Has that been depreciated? Thanks
The RAM trucks have a side compartment/storage on the each side of the truck bed. Can you still have access to those with a BaseCamp installed?
Love the camper. I have three questions. How long does it take to install the camper to the bed of your truck and how long does it take to remove the trailer from the bed of your truck? Ever consider adding a screen on the side panels to keep the bugs out?

These guys look like they would throw in a growler of IPA and tell you about Dave Mathews Band for an hour while rolling a jay.
...are you hiring? 👋
🤭🤣fuckn great...
They have way better taste than that, judging by the design.
This is awesome, well done.
Thanks Matthew!
Any chance you’ll have a feature option that will flip open to compete with the likes of the AT Habitat? Would be awesome to be able to sleep 4.
well done, these things are slick
Game changer. will be owning one Spring 2019.
Badass camper!! Bravo guys. Please send us one here to Hawaii =)
Thanks freedomedia!
Wow.. so so badass man!!!!
Well thought out.
How are the roof clearances? I'm interested but love my prinsu rack
So stoked on this camper!!! Will you guys be in San Diego at all? I would love to check one out in person.THX
Looks great. Quality manufacturing. What kind of weatherstripping is that for the panel hinges?
Thanks Francois! We are using automotive gasket material on all the panel edges. Its an EDPM based product with 3m adhesive.
I'll wait until the latest Tundra comes out before contacting you guys. This looks legit!!!
Side tent entry would be awesome for those storing more things in the bed!
Consider your wish granted, now available.

Adam, because they keep the tent as low profile as possible, and optimize interior space. Do you have concerns with them on the outside?
This is great! Thinking about ordering - any pics/details on the front/back windows? Not really sure what they are / how they work.
Hey Kristian, we are currently building a production unit with the first set of front and rear windows. If you stay tuned with our facebook or instagram account (@gfc_usa) you will be able to see updates as they happen.
Is it possible to get just the camper portion?
looks strong and easy to set up
Very nice!! Now I'm thoroughly confused on what to do with my Colorado!!
We have some ideas...
Nice!!!
This would work for me. An awning for the big door of the tent would be nice to block a light rain while still being able to see out and keep the air flowing. I’ll have to start saving my pennies
Can these repainted to match the color of your tacoma? Or do you guys do that for a cost?
Yup! We offer color matching. Shoot us an email at support@gfcengineering.com

Awesome a 270 mounted and an 8 ft bed version would put it on my numero uno list
Hey you said a short bed tacoma, is a long bed option available?
All tacoma bed lengths are available. Apart from the step side beds. But long and short are no issue.
Hi guys first your product looks sturdy,do you have guys official distributor here in Vancouver Canada? Thank you
Sorry we do not have any distributors for our campers. We manufacture them and ship them from our facility in Bozeman.
What is the full height of this truck with camper when closed without any option? Want to make sure it fit in garage . Thank you. Great work!
Hi Al, that question is truck dependent. Shoot us an email and we can answer your questions specifically.
I am curious about installing...does the manufacturer provide the installing service?and, is there any locking system inside the platform for the security purpose?
We do offer installation, and all of the panels are locking.
@@GFC but someone can open the tent and get into the pick-up bed?

Have you seen the V2?
@@GFC just watched it! I need one of these for my cross country Mountaineering trips
nice .. i prefer a full pop...not the angle pop
had one on a Toyota pickup..wish i had it now i'm retired
Questions...
Does the camper affect the Satellite XM radio reception since it covers the antenna?
Can it be painted to color match ur truck?
Truck caps usually have seal issues with the back door causing dust to get into the bed. Is the back door completely seal from dust?
The reception is unchanged, it can indeed be color matched, and our camper seals very effectively, better than the stock bed!
Great system, America!
Are you guys still like 2 year wait list?
Add small strap to pull the tent down
I want one for my 2104 Tacoma 5’ short bed
Be super epic if it could easily an quickly come off
6-8 bolts depending on the vehicle
are the side and rear doors insulated
they are not. I have their "V2"
How is this for winter months?
It works excellent, but is a pop up with fabric sides, so sleeping bags rated for cold weather are key.
How much ?? For Toyota Tacoma
