Not a problem for some of us,
unluckily my phone "damn auto correct" wouldn't let me type my response in German.
after living in Germany for almost 6 years. Nice but one heck of a sticker shock for it. Otherwise.... Das ist gut.
yeah, I was in Lahr for seven years, but as a child and didn't retain any of the German I learned back then, lol.....it was in the 70'sNot a problem for some of us,
When I read it I knew it would be stupid expensive and then seen the cost I was really surprised.
Hi Jean,
Price is approx. 150 k and this does not include the car or even the costs for mounting it....
Where do we get one? Making them custom? Love how clean the interior is. Simple but fully functioning.Here is my Slide in Camper option, all custom made Aluminum and ultra light gr fiberglass panels. Loaded 1300 pounds, made truck modify to make sure I have a great and safe ride, teraflex 3.0, hellwig Sway bar, airbags 10 PLY open Country at3
Cheers Jean
Looks nice. I don't think Gladiator's have the payload capacity though for this type of stuff. Not sure what type of insurance risk there is with that scenario (if much of any). Seems like these options make more sense for a full size vehicle.
The Scout Yoho is specifically designed for midsize trucks. The pictures on their website show a Toyota Tacoma. A 2021 Tacoma 4x4 v6 auto TRD Off Road has a load capacity of 1155lbs: https://www.toyota.com/tacoma/features/weights_capacities/7594/7544/7582. Four Wheel Camper's Swift Model is also designed for mid size trucks and their page shows a Taco too.
Thank you - this is very helpful! Where can I order one of your campersIf I can give you all my two cents opinion on this topic, I do have one so that makes me a professional on this matter,... Because the truck "as is" cannot without any mods handle a camper there is no way a company would produce a camper for it. Also you need to keep in mind that the rear axle is located very close to cab witch makes a huge lever in the back, and the frame isn't beefy enough, only thru proper mounting on frame and not on the flimsy hook in the box makes it partly possible, then there is weight distribution. Center of gravity must be on axle, and don't even think of hauling any trailer. When you calculate everything it works well, I can say that I'm very happy with my setup. But I know exactly what not to do, because happiness can turn to nightmare if you disregard all safety precautions.
So... now that I know I'm scrwed on a Scout Yoho or 4wheel camper Swift... please tell me more about your experience with GFC? I have seen a lot on you tube but mostly Tacos and 4runners - anything about the JT I should know? I live in MN and one think I was looking for was a safe heat source that was fixed to the camper rather than being another piece of gear to carry and hook up... any pics of your set up, pro tips etc. would be welcome.I went with the GoFast Camper GFC, probably not what you were thinking but it works for my needs.
1) Has to fit in standard height residential garage
2) Stay mounted 24-7 but still have room in bed to haul items and to truck stuff.
3) Sleep 2 and a dog(below) and out of the elements
4) be able to secure items in bed
5) have a way to mount an awning that can be easy on/off
Load capacity for the top is 500lbs and the struts are rated to lift and hold 75-100lbs if utilizing the roof rack crossbars. The weight is 250lbs and can be removed with 4-5 adults and removing 6 bolts.
I'm not the guy with the GFC, but I've spent waaaay too much time researching it. Sadly, the cost has stricken it from my plans (though the DIY GFC on the Tacoma forums is still teasing me.)
