Ive had it now for a little over a year with no complaints.. it was a convenience factor for me... the coldest I’ve slept in it was 27. I’m used to camping on the ground for an extended period of time, I prepared with a warm sleeping bag. I entertained the various heaters but for my climate I came to the conclusion that there wasn’t a necessity.So... now that I know..
I added 1” of latex foam inside the mattress cover for added comfort. I have no issue with water intrusion but I did add a tailgate seal. I found the wind noise to be less than that experienced in a tent with a rain fly. Mosquitoes have been an issue but I’ve managed.. the V2 has an improved seal fabric to roof and should minimize this issue.
I’ve been on a few trips with it so far. Spent time last fall hunting out of it at a lease. I would wake up, stow the bag and pillow, fold it down and drive to my stand. ully loaded with a fridge, camp gear and water. I’ve noticed sag in the rear along with floating on road. I’m now trying to figure out my best options for suspension. Possibly going to do a Hellwig sway bar along with either Airbags or sumo springs. I still intend to keep the hight stock for now.
It’s a not a true camper I get it... but I beats sleeping on the ground and in a pinch it’s folded down and your on the road. Mine stays on full time. If I get a couple days off I add groceries and water and I hit the road. If I had the income I would go the alucab camper route with the propane fireplace.. but then you loose the bed of the truck for other tasks and it increases the cab over hight. If you do plan to order one it’s best to do it and forget it... mine was right at a year start to finish and then delivery was an added cost and wait. Would recommend it and do it again if I had to.
Hope this helps some, I’ll update with some pictures at some point.
