Hi Luke. Still very excited to soon be getting my Moonlander. I was thinking the same thing someone else mentioned. Bug netting when the back hatch is up would be a great idea.
Couch mode is sweet. One suggestion would be to have an escape hatch on the roof to climb out or stand up fully from inside. Kind of like a sunroof in a car.
Luke, I am totally I love with my Moonlander, but WOW what a difference that cabover storage makes! Fantastic idea! And, I am 6 ft 6, and sleep well in mine.
I’ve been in contact with Freddy. As soon as the Radica’s website configurator opens on the Moonlander X, I’m placing the deposit. Best, Hugo. Congrats on your success!
Hi Luke, LB #2 here. Nice move with the height extension and cabover storage. Love what you did carpeting the top of the bed panels. Helps with the insulation and condensation. Perhaps you could offer diesel heater hose connections somewhere on the wall side and perhaps unistrut style strips or T-tracks on the sides for attaching items. Got out a bunch this summer with my "old" ML. Loving it more each trip out. Using the extension areas of each side for storage shelves but unistrut would have been handy as would the extended height. I could use the extra 25w panel as well.
Luke, awesome addition to the radica line. Have you considered organizing a Radica camping event for all moonlander owners? Would be great to see liked minded dwellers and exchange ideas.
How about split low profile drawer slides in the cab over ? That way you can still fit the mattress pad and the bed panels on the slides to stow them , while also making the cab over storage more easily accessible
Brilliant design! Add a bit more height and light weight 'versatile cubes' stored behind the netting/swapped out for the bedding in Stow Mode. Cubes used for table, cooker, water, storage, etc.
I remember our conversations about this, and I know I wasn’t the only one 😆 Super excited for this. I was going to wait until this June, so I’m glad you were able to get it designed in time! I’m going to be putting it on a ‘24 Ram 1500 Warlock with a 6’4” bed. So stoked.
Are there barn doors that go down to the floor of the truck bed? Do you provide materials to “seal” the camper area from dust? Is there insulation kits available for the camper, and the bed of the truck?
Radica customer here (no.301): No barn doors to floor. Swing-up back door has a seal underneath that wedges to the top of your tailgate. From there you need to buy one of those tailgate seals to keep the dust out; the moonlander door does a good job for its area, but you still need to seal the tailgate perimeter itself.
Love the Moonlander!!! Thanks for sharing. Do the bed panels have pre cut holes or strips of missing metal for ventilation/mattress moisture issues? Thanx again
Is it akward closing everything up to go to sleep at night? Reaching down pulling your tail gate up and trying to pull down the moonlander door. I would like to see videos of it closed up or half closed, like just the tail gate. I assume the moon lander can be opened from the inside?
...and also some commented about swing doors/ barn doors. I like that idea too but afraid of a strong wind taking the door away. Question, with the side of the pod extended out like it is, is there a way to latch down these swing doors so that don't go flying in the wind
This is awesome , I’ve been looking for a shell that will work with my 40gal aux tank w toolbox in bed and sets even with bed ! So even in couch mode this will work ! Love it ! Also can store my 35 spare up top instead of bed ! 04 Duramax 2500 HD lifted
We esnure all of our MoonLanders are trail ready before we install them. The only issue we could forsee with dust is the holes that are in the truckbed themselves. You can always get a BedRug installed to help negate dust entering from those cracks in the truck bed.
@@radicaproductsI had to seal my tailgate, carpeted the gate itself with a bit of carpeting extended to better seal the bottom hinge area. Virtually eliminating about 90-95% of the dust entering
We can get full size rather than queen size bed panels for the MLX though right? We need a little space between the bed and the very back of the 6 foot truck bed when its all closed up.
Thank you! Yes you can open from the inside. The shell is made up of 1/16th" aluminum, the framing is 1/8th" square tubing, and the roof is 1 1/4" polypropylene honeycomb.
We currently only offer the options listed on our website. Custom work can disrupt our production line and affect installation timelines for other customers.
I want a regular Moonlander but with the roof height of the Moonlander X. Roof height of the regular Moonlander is the only thing stopping me from buying one today. Both look great though...
Expect a 2-3 hit on your MPG. You'll have to get it installed by either us in Denver Colorado, or either of our vendor shops on the West and East coast. Email info@radicaproducts.com for any questions.
Love this! Simplicity but well thought out, don’t have to remove for dirt bikes! 🎉 Saw Maverick is listed with an “*” on your fit list… but can’t find what the asterisk means… will it fit? 😬
Can you still do the "couch mode" if you opt for the unequal bed platforms (one wider than the other)? I think you have a pretty good product but to me, the biggest weakness of your products is lack of an insulation option. I am sure some of us do not want to dyi and experiment/spend our time. We also don't want an independent shop to experiment on the topper trying to insulate it for us at our expense. I would want a factory designed, engineered, tested, and installed insulation. I have read other comments in your other videos asking about insulation. In my opinion, you really should put your energy to that.
Unfortunately that won’t work. You can get an aftermarket camera on the tailgate though. You can see through the camper with front and back windows as well.
Couple questions.. 1) What's the hit to fuel economy with this on the truck? 2) Can that interior window be opened to become a pass through to the cab?
@@Hashhogan Thanks. Considering a 6 ft bed Tacoma. :) New to owning a truck, so need to shop for that first and make sure we like it cause once that thing is on, that's it! Lol!
Beautiful! I’ve bin looking at lightweight truck campers for some time. This thing has changed my mind! All I need is a couch and bed everything else I can do outside. Thinking cedar siding inside and a wood stove ! Be like a mobile cabin. Couple questions. Wonder how hard it would be to drive across the boarder with one ? I’m in Canada. And what are all the options ? I don’t think they are on the web site yet? One in the video seemed like a full load. What’s the cost of the one ? And I guess the wider option
Great to hear! We’ve had many customers drive down from Canada and cross back over the border without any issues. You can find all of our options listed on our website at www.radicaproducts.com, and if you need more detailed information, feel free to email us at info@radicaproducts.com.
We are currently working on getting a builder for MoonLander X. You can still place a deposit to reserve your spot in line. We will help you through to process to help build yours out.
As long as the rooftop tent is comaptible with the Thule Roof Tracks we offer, you should be good to go! Our roof is rated for 300lbs while moving and 500lbs while stationary. Also keep in mind that you will need a tall enough rack so the fan can open and close as well as clearing the bubble window. (if you so choose to have those options on your build)
This version will stay the same size, but maybe we will have a bigger model in the future. Sign up for our newsletter to stay updated on all the Radica news.
@@radicaproducts ill wait for that , just don't make it to tall , so it looks slicker than other campers and better aerodynamics for long driving trips. Grate product !
Okay. This pisses me off! Now I want to abandon my AWD Chevy van and get a tundra with a moon lander. Is there a pass through from the cab? Maybe I don’t want to go outside to get inside.
We will be here when you're ready. We offer a removeable cabside window that is hinged from the bottom. Definitely would be a tight squeeze, but you can make it happen in a pickle.
Hi Luke. Still very excited to soon be getting my Moonlander. I was thinking the same thing someone else mentioned. Bug netting when the back hatch is up would be a great idea.
I was on the fence with the first moonlander when I first saw it. I’m sold on this one for sure.
Love to hear it. Don't hesistate to reach out if you have any questions!
This looks fantastic! Pushing the width is a game changer.
Maximizing space is the name of the game.
Couch mode is sweet. One suggestion would be to have an escape hatch on the roof to climb out or stand up fully from inside. Kind of like a sunroof in a car.
We like to keep MoonLander as simple as possible, but thank you for the suggestion!
I love this design.

Very cool. Great alternate option to the older style, huge, heavy campers. If/when I get a truck I'll have to keep this in mind.
Simple but better. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Add a DAC truck canopy tent and you've got a screened in porch
Great design
Man, I love ❤️ this moolanderx. i can't wait to get my truck first and order . This is better than a rooftop tent.
Thank you. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
@@radicaproducts yes sir I will thank you
This looks fantastic!
Thank you very much. We worked very hard on this.
Love it. But as one living in the south where even the nights are unbearably hot and humid, an AC option is a must.
This is awesome. I’ve been looking at a decent camper set up but I don’t want a pop up and I don’t want to completely lose my bed use
Hard shell all day
Dude! So effing sick!
🤙
Great video. Amazing product. Congrats!
Thank you!

I liked to see a two way back door. Lift gate with a built in entry door. Keeps the mosquitoes and other bugs out of your camper!

We do not. We haven't expereince any moisture issues with our mattress on any of our MoonLanders so far.
Very sweet! I wonder if my atv would fit! Definitely would like to see the skylight serve as a hatch.
ATVs and dirt bikes will fit if they fit with your specific truck bed. Our door opening is almost 3 ft tall!
Dude this thing is freakin sweeet! I gotta 1st gen double cab tundra too! I need that!
We will be looking forward to your install 😁
I’m ordering my today
Awesome. Looking forward to your install!
Is the back lift door waterproof at the hinge ? And how much does the bed panels weigh?
Nice!

Absolutely. Our full size bed panels come standard.
making me wish i had a truck with this
We'll be here once you get your truck!
looks great any plans for bug netting or awning mounts and portable ac units eco flow, for us people in the south
This is something we will have to look into. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there a full barn door (remove the tailgate) option? Please...
Any positive pressure air vents to prevent dust intrusion?
This appears well designed and constructed. Once inside I wonder what it takes to raise the tailgate and lower the door.
Now this is perfect! If your inside ,can you open the back from the inside? What is the shell made from?
Thank you! Yes you can open from the inside. The shell is made up of 1/16th" aluminum, the framing is 1/8th" square tubing, and the roof is 1 1/4" polypropylene honeycomb.
Hello! Love the set-up. Would it be possible to install a smaller DC roof air conditioner? ?
We currently only offer the options listed on our website. Custom work can disrupt our production line and affect installation timelines for other customers.
Are you guys able to add a port for a diesel heater? I love this camper style though.
We are hoping to add a Truma heater before winter comes.
does this come in one color only?
What about insulation and heater and vent fans led lighting
We offer all insualtion, vent vans, and the LED lighting. We are working on offering heat in the near future. Check out our website for more details.
Cool utilitarian build
Can i get a Winter insulated Topper? I live in Pennsylvania
We do offer insulation! Email info@radicaproducts.com if you'd like to further discuss pricing!
I want a regular Moonlander but with the roof height of the Moonlander X.
Roof height of the regular Moonlander is the only thing stopping me from buying one today.
Both look great though...
I need this so bad
How big of a hit do you take on MPG? Do you ship or where would I need to pick it up?
Expect a 2-3 hit on your MPG. You'll have to get it installed by either us in Denver Colorado, or either of our vendor shops on the West and East coast. Email info@radicaproducts.com for any questions.

Already in the works! If you order now you can get yours insulated. We are testing early customer versions now.
That is great! Looking forward to seeing it. Can you still do the couch mode with different width bed platforms?
THIS!!! Fuckin finally something to turn a small pickup into a toy hauler / van. Now i just gotta find like $10,000 laying around!
Can you move the front window higher so those of us with digital rear view cameras on the cab taillight can see in the rear?
Unfortunately that won’t work. You can get an aftermarket camera on the tailgate though. You can see through the camper with front and back windows as well.
Couple questions..
1) What's the hit to fuel economy with this on the truck?
2) Can that interior window be opened to become a pass through to the cab?
Basically half of your normal mpg
We are seeing a 1-3 mpg hit with MLX so far. Pretty much stayed the same on my first gen tundra compared to regular MoonLander at about 2 mpg hit.
@@BottomLineBassin2 🤣
Thank you for the video. Any pop-top variant?
We plan on staying away from the pop tops. SImple but better is our motto!
Would love to know what kind fuel economy impact it has?

Can you do a video where you put a bike in the bottom part?
Looks sweet. Should be noted what I'm seeing in the video is probably about an extra $4,000 of add ons.
So about 12k as shown?
Do the Tinted Sliding Windows have a screen as wrll?
Yes the tinted sliders come with a screen
Doesn't look like you can customize it on the website yet

can you sleep in the storage area, whats the dimensions
Iam wondering about the struts on back door, and is that Jerry can full?? Can the struts handle this?
Most efintiley.
What kind of mattress do you use
We use a dually Hest queen mattress.
What’s the headroom at the bubble
The bubble will add 4 inches of headroom. MoonLander X is 42 inches tall on a mid size truck and 44 inches tall on a full size.
Dude… this is fucking it. 👏 bravo
Gracias amigo!

Since the camper has no bottom , dust is going to be a really big problem.🤔
You can add a bed rug or a truck bed liner to negate all dust problems.
