If it suits your needs I hope you enjoy it. I'm surprised everyone thinks the $13k is a real bargain as it seems pricey to me. The interior lighting and windows are nice but the lack of HVAC and plumbing puts it not far above a nice tent notch in the usefulness - to me - category. It's certainly not going to win any attractiveness awards either but what's the perfect solution to one group doesn't cut the cake for another - I'm in the latter. But - enjoy.
Thats the most wordy polite way I have heard someone say that sucks... lol

My daddy taught me to be polite.....lol. In the end - we do things for ourselves - not to please others. Gander Mountain has some real nice tents with a few rooms I can walk around in but my wife wants a nice hotel room with a comfortable bed, toilet and shower so unfortunately for me, neither the topper or the tent will work for me!

Oh 13k is expensive for me....that's why I have to make my own out of plywood and baling wire.....but, in comparison to similar, that is quite a good price from what I've seen.

for 13K you can get any of the hard side shells and a top line RTT . Add. a heater and power supply. It would be lighter and less wind resistant . But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Honestly, for $15k, I think I would buy a small offroad teardrop trailer and pull it behind me. While I like the idea of carrying everything on my back like a turtle, being able to unhook it and go on trails would be a plus for me.

I think I get the bang for the buck approach with a base Sport with manual windows and steelies, but not gonna lie, I couldn't imagine running a camper on anything but a full-size.

As far as the $14 price is concerned, the prices of everything are crazy! Just look at what these Jeeps cost! My first Jeep cost me under $10k new! But $14k for a slide in camper that looks as nice as that, as light as that? The average price of one of the top brands, that none are light enough for a Gladiator run upwards of $50k, that’s totally built out though.

My Dad bought new CJ5 in 61 for $1900. My new 70 Bronco cost $3600. But I was earning a little less money LOL.

Funny the word "Mini" is used. That thing is as big as the truck.
