Beautiful engineering and craftsmanship. You can hear the pride this man takes in his work. Kind of thing you can pass down through generations if you take care of it. Well thought out, tasteful interior that feels spacious with large windows in all the right places. Toilet set-up is brilliant. Interior shower isn't necessary - campgrounds and truck-stops have showers folks, and sponge-baths / outside rinse work fine in between. Pop-top design with hard sides is clever and desirable for aerodynamics, low center of mass, and overhead clearance, and inconspicuousness on the road. Very nice product. I love the outdoors and unconventional modes of travel. I've lived on and cruised small sailboats boats for the past 15 years - have a look at my channel. I can tell this camper is made for long term travel will hold-up to the rigors of the road. Well done - Alaskan Campers are at the top of my short-list
If the sofa seating area was reduced in half it would allow for additional kitchen and bathroom space. I think most would choose kitchen and bath space over those rather large sofas while camping. Great presentation, phenomenal camper otherwise. Thank you!
Very interesting. I guess it's a step up from having soft canvas sides. It would suck if you had to setup or tear down in the rain so what is the appeal of having it compact down vs one that doesn't? 🍻
4 seasons vs 1. Soft side campers are not usable in windy, rainy, or snow weather. I've tried. You can't sleep at all when winds are whipping the canvas. And snow is a non-option. So all the Instagram "overlanders" only actually go in the summer. But this design hasn't been updated since the 60s. So it's far out of date.
Don't be intimidated: you're probably a Thinker rather than a Tinkerer. Instead of winging it, you want to know EXACTLY how and why things work, instead learning through trial and error. But I'm sure that after using this setup a few times it would all become second nature to you. Cheers!!

he said alot of floor plans, enjoy building the camper you want.
Love it! This would work great for our family. It’s simple, no frills, very functional. It keeps the focus on the adventure at hand!
Good demonstration.
Great orientation.
Who makes the flatbed - I like the integral cabinets as built and depicted in the video.
I have a pet giraffe would I be welcome
What about when it’s raining and also bug getting in while it’s being setup, when you have to flip up the walls.
What do you do if you open the door to any camper and a bug gets in?
nice!! Why not linier actuators instead of hydraulic?

How much 🤷
Air conditioner?
Wow, looks complicated. At least to me.

Is this available for an f-150?
Ugh the design looks like it hasn't been updated since the original campers... jesus theres' so many better ways
What would you improve?
@Nervzwerg7514 he's not wrong. There's so much
People that like classics campers, typically, buy classic campers. People that like newer campers, typically, buy newer campers. To each their own.
These are bombproof you can buy one that’s 25 years old and still works try that with a Jayne or airstream
The interior design of that camper is ugly as heck.
I'm not wearing safety glasses or a damn hard hat........ I will wear a full set of plate mail armor with a sword and lance... so there
