One thing you did incredibly well is the design. The whole thing looks incredibly professional. Your material cost looks fairly high, but I suspect you had easy access to most of the supplies from the sign business. Excellent work overall. Much more pleasing to the eye than giant steel and wood contraption.

The work that you did looks very good, and very well finished. I wish that you would have cantilevered the sleeping birth at least part of the way over top of the truck cab, and had the tail end of the camper go to the end of the truck tail gate when it is down. You could have had twice as much room.

Nice quality build. We all have different needs and ideas, I am planning to remove the bed of a regular cab F-150 4x4 and custom build a fiberglass enclosure to the frame, then build a trailer of similar size. Mobility will be awesome and the room and privacy of two separate interiors will be very comfortable.

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. The only issue is no running water. You have plenty of room under the sink to mount a blue 7.5 gallon water tank and water pump. Or a larger water tank. Also, it wouldnot be a complete camper without a shower. You can easily mount an outside shower setup cut into the cabinet under the sink. Sure the water will be cold, but why not be as comfortable in the wilderness with some kind of shower.

If you could make this affordable to the average person, find a way to put it on and remove it with one person capabiity and with good marketing, I believe millions of people would love to own it. I know you made it just for you....but many of us would buy one if you chose to create a business producing and selling these. I think so....

Amazing design. Looks great. After years on the road and in motels and hotels, I bought a truck camper for traveling. For one person your camper is great , but to accommodate 2 people comfortably I opted for a hardside on an 8ft bed. Just one concern --- your tie down system is adequate under ideal conditions but the ratchet straps tend to rot when exposed to the elements. Change them yearly. The wind forces are extreme. Superb job on the build.
