They just pushed the dates again

Yea, there are a lot of people that say the gfc leaks, was one of many reasons I didn't go with them. They know it leaks and do nothing to fix it. I'm hopeful this one will be good since Kyle and the team are here in Washington as well, but time will tell!

That's gonna be a nice drive! If you click my profile I've got a video on there about setting it up and taking it apart I send to people who buy them. If you have ig, search @upper_left_adventures and I've got a few posts on there about them. If interested, I sell a larger and a smaller one. Smaller one fits in a $20 flat rate box and can ship them

I'm only 2 weeks in, but definitely was worth the wait. Luckily their wait times aren't anywhere near what they were when we ordered back in October of 22 lol

@@easygoingguy was one of the major reasons I got it, was my only option in a midsized diesel at the time. It's unfortunate they discontinued it

@@upper_left_adventures I got a Toyota Tacoma I wish they made those in diesel. I hear they have better torque and a little bit better miles per gallon is that true?

@@easygoingguy I used to average 25-30mpg, now with the camper and larger tires, I'm usually around 19-23mpg, so can't complain

@@upper_left_adventures now you can't. That's pretty decent gas mileage.

Old setup with an alucab explorer canopy and a wedge tent on top. Not an alucabin. Wanted to be able to stand up inside and get changed without laying down lol. 200ah is for now, may go up another 100ah, but will see. Running the air fryer eats the battery pretty quick lol

Im planning on going up to the scales on Friday on my way out of town to get a packed weight. Will be in my video next week.

I have frame stiffeners welded on a couple years ago, this setup is a bit lighter than my last one

It's basically a full xl bed, definitely enough room for 2, I'll be building some sort of sleep platform below as well to my 2 kids.

Juice box and lighting is a must. Gear vault is definitely nice to have, but I wouldn't say is a must. Awning brackets are a must if wanting to run an awning. I ended up not getting the vent fan, gonna see how it goes and if needed, will add it later myself. I found the same fan system they use online. I'm doing my own outside lights, but if you don't have the means or know how, I'd suggest adding those. Can never go wrong with more lights. Ran into some issues today installing the solar wiring, I ended up having to pry the solar wiring port off the roof to get the wires fed through, they go a little too small on the hole they drill in the roof.

@@upper_left_adventures what size hole was used on the solar port from lone peak..

@@mikececchini6 didn't measure, but around 3/4" or so. Hard to fish a line through a bulkhead fitting and down 90° into a small hole.

@@upper_left_adventures thanks #183

@@upper_left_adventures try a shop vac and a peace of string with a small strip of cloth {around 1 inch} tied to the string

I havnt ran with an antenna in almost 3 years due to my old setup, as my old wedge roof top tent went over the roof some as well. I don't typically listen to the radio, I'm usually listening to pod casts, but the times I do listen to radio I've had no issues. The small black thing is the dust killer vent, basically let's air into the camper to help keep dust out from around the tailgate

Just some basic 12v cob led strips cut to length and positive and negative wires added. Juice box side is easy, just loosen the set screws for the wire port wanted, put the wire in and tighten.

Exhaust is coming out of the box on my swingout with this setup, and won't be under the awning, but for the past 3 years I've ran my diesel heater under the awning with no issues at all. I've ran my firepit under the awning for hours without issue as well.

Alucabin is 3x the price, and I've had 2 friends who purchased and sold their alucabin after not liking them. On paper, the only think the alucabin has over the lonepeak is the rear door setup

Solid, only the upfitters have raved about alucab. Most end users have moved on to other options. Ty for the mad quick response.

My interior is built with 2020 extrusion, the camper is built with custom extrusions Kyle had made. Unfortunately, they have one major flaw. I believe they did it on purpose, others dont. The extrusion he made is custom, and as of yet, have not found a single source other than lone peak directly to buy t nuts. Its the size of m10 t nut track, but uses m8 bolts.

With my oversized tires, I'm getting around 21-24mpg right now

Ive never slept inside another camper, so dont have a direct comparison. But I can tell you its miles ahead of a go fast camper, and not another camper out there has the passthrough space, and room inside. And price cant be touched by any of the competitors. Camper, if ordered today is about $7500 with all my options.

Ovs 270

3/4 plywood and painted it with 2 coats of exterior paint. Will see how it holds up lol

@@upper_left_adventures thanks!

It's a short bed, so believe it's just over 5'

We ordered when the pre orders started back in October of 22 so a year and a half ish, believe they are out 6 months now

In the center of the cab where the cab is at the highest point, it's 10", if you measure at the front, it's 12" but the cab is already sloping down at that point. This is without the cross bars or any additions on the top, that obviously adds to it.

@@upper_left_adventures Thanks for the info! This is probably the best video on this camper I’ve seen, lots of detailed information.

@@mikewolf7887 yea, tried to be as detailed as possible. Currently out camping now and should have another video up tomorrow. First time in it over night and have found a few downfalls, but still 100% happy with the setup.

Only thing I own that's dometic is their water jugs. Going on 2 years with them without issue, and I abuse them pretty hard.

@@upper_left_adventures sick then! Sane, I had to sell my fridge. Still kicking

Don't run an antenna on the truck, havnt for a few years and havnt had any issues. I do run a ghost antenna for my gmrs and a long rang antenna for my weboost.

I actually gained mpg from my old setup, but going to pick it up, I got 23mpg, coming home from install I got 21.9mpg. Just did a trip go the ocean today, 100 miles, keeping cruise control on, I was at 23.2mpg. So no complaints there!

@@upper_left_adventures Thank you for this info

Why do you say that? Lol

Must have been a v6? I've got a diesel, would have it any other way. Been a great truck for how much I beat on it.

@@upper_left_adventures diesel. same as yours

@@DigitalCity-sj4es that's unfortunate! Hopefully your replacement vehicle is better for you!
