How would it hold up to the build up of snow on the roof?

@@FalconMe That's happened and it's fine. The extra weight when pushing up from the inside is a little difficult, not by much though.

Falcon M - I had this happen to me with my GFC…I was sleeping and it snowed heavily overnight. Around 2 am I hear a strange noise, the roof collapsed onto me. It was scary as shit. I managed to push off of me and crawl out the truck bed. Got completely frozen and soaked. My clothes were trapped up in the tent portion…the whole thing was miserable. And guess what, it did it again that same night! This issue is compounded by the fact that the panel latches cannot be opened from the inside. So, totally possible to have a pretty serious situation. I didn’t love many aspects of my GFC. I feel like it’s made for beautiful evenings, not seriously nasty conditions. Condensation was also a major issue. Putting the tent away (closing the top) after snow, ice, rain is almost impossible.

USAMontanan... thanks for that... is the go fast camper loud at highway speeds? My truck is my daily driver... would it get annoying hearing it all the time? or the noise isn't an issue?

It makes no noise that I hear. I like it for its low profile and still regularly get over 20mpg with my Tacoma

I don’t even get 20mpg in my 2017 stock tacoma with nothing on the bed….

Same here, I get mine in 2 weeks. Can't wait

They attach to the truck bed in a very similar way to a normal topper. You can use “C” clamps or many of the new Toyota’s have a track system you can tie into. Depending on your truck bed, a few different type of clamps can be used. Both of the campers attach is this fashion. The OVRLND campers also use an “L” bracket flange that creates a hard stop preventing any side to side movement.

What company do you haul rvs for and how do I get a job doing that? I have a truck

@@GoGoOpie I drive for Synergy, out of Goshen, IN. Go on theirs website to see what they are looking for. Call the recruiter and ask for Mary, tell her I sent you, I'll split the referral bonus with you!

I totally agree, I like the size of the GFC. I think it will suit me and my Takoma better. I want simple and light.

I thought he said they were the “same weight”, that’s the key for me … added functionality and more room without a weight penalty!

The truck in the video is a 6.5 ft. bed and it has about 41” of space between the extended sleeping platform and the tailgate. So, for a 5.5 ft. bed it is probably about 30”, but I do not have one I can measure exactly. OVRLND campers can probably help you out with an exact number, but that should be close.

We don’t know the exact brand, but it is originally a queen sized mattress topper about 4” thickness. It is great as a side sleeper and never feel the bed frame below

Yeah, they are for storage. They are custom made sewn goods that have a variety of storage spots. There are slots for cell phones, an i pad and zipper pockets to keep any assortment of things such as batteries, head lamp, contact lenses, snacks etc.

It does great in the wind. The OVRLND uses a vinyl coated material for the pop up portion and is taught so you don’t get that annoying tent flapping effect. Both these campers spend a lot of time in Southwest and have been through countless desert wind storms with no issues. If you had a time where you wanted to have a hard side into the wind you can wedge the OVRLND by just popping up the tailgate side of the camper and it would provide that function for those situations.

Practically speaking the wedge is only an advantage of the wind is very uni-directional the whole time. I've rarely been that lucky with mountain weather. I landed up getting the OVRLND and concur that the material is much heavier and haven't any flap so far. Up to 35ish mph winds

GFC is horrible in even light wind. The tent doors don't close at the bottom and the doors and mesh themselves are very, very loose. GFC is aware of this and still selling them like it's no big deal. I'm in the middle of dealing with it now. Definitely go with OVRLND

Why?

@@PS987654321PS price, weight, features. I don't like barn doors. Plenty of reasons. Ill leave the ovrlnd camper to people that dont go offroad.

@@great_white_taco Ok, cool guy! Not sure that you know what you're talking about though. Lots of poseurs these days....

@@PS987654321PS you sound like a poser!

@@great_white_taco The barn doors that you pointed out as disliking are optional/extra. Otherwise it opens sort of like a mirror to the tailgate, just a tad more range of motion.

Neither camper has the ability to open the side hatches from the inside. A related side note, on the OVRLND you can lock the barn doors from the inside of the camper, which makes it easy to lock up when going to bed.

They do amazing. They have a complete water and dust tight seal against the camper and tailgate.

The Tundras get 14-16.5 mpg with the OVRLND campers depending the type of driving it is.

@@aaronkatz827 Thanks for the response! My guess was around 15, so sounds right about in line with my expectations (although I wish it was better)

campovrlnd.com gofastcampers.com

Both campers do really well at keeping the dust out.

We have traveled all over the West with both of these campers and neither has had any issues with the wind. Both campers regularly travel Interstate 70 with no problems.

@@aaronkatz827 thanks

There is not an OVRLND dealer in Canada, they have one shop based in Flagstaff, Arizona. Give them a call though and they might be able to work some sort of freight delivery. I heard they freighted one to Alaska, so shipping one may be a possibility.

Yes it does. I believe you can put up to 500 lbs on the roof racks.

@@aaronkatz827 Amazing! TY!

The OVRLND is using a queen size mattress topper and the Go Fast has the mattress pads that come with camper in it

Both run around the same price. OVRLND $7000-9000. GFC $6000-8000

Hello, yes you can. Both barn doors have a locking mechanism on the inside top of the door. It makes it easy to lock up while sleeping and they are very secure.

Never-mind the Overlnd website said “NOTE: We will NOT build for the Honda Ridgeline, Baja, Ford Maverick or Sport Trac”

There is no mesh on the side windows of either camper in this video. People do add it on though by themselves.

They are light enough that they can be installed with about 6 people picking it up. If you go to the manufacturer’s facility they can use a lift and lower it onto your truck bed rails.

Interested in this as well

I doubt it's a significant difference

The MPG difference is anywhere from 1/2 - 1 mpg depending on the day

I don’t think u can drive with them open

Sorry to give you a it depends answer, but depending on what options you pick the price fluctuates. The OVRLND campers give you countless customizable add ons that have varying prices. Each of the companies website have the options listed out to spec out the cost.

yea, but with a backpack tent you sleep on the ground like a peasant

@@great_white_taco you’re such a Richard

Yes, these campers are widely used on 1st Gen Tacoma’s

I unfortunately do not have access to a project M camper. The ability to customize an OVRLND camper and working with a high quality small business goes a long way. Being able to get the barn doors and large side hatches is a really nice feature of the OVRLNDs that Project M campers lack.

@@aaronkatz827I was leaning towards the Project M, but recently have thought the OVRLND may be better for my needs. I'm not thrilled with the internal "shelf" that the Project M has on both sides. They tout it as a feature but it's more of a restriction to me. Also, the Project M seems to lean towards the customer buying thier options vice building out DIY style. I just want a good fitting roomy shell with a comfortable bed and the ability to heat/cool and stay dry, I'll figure out the rest of the creature comforts as I go.

@@michaelmajercin990 OVRLND is custom while Project M is not. What this means for midsize trucks like a Tacoma the fit to the truck is much better with the OVRLND where the Project M will stick out width wise.

​​@@michaelmajercin990yes, I think the shelves would get in the way- im thinking,I would put a couch in.

Sorry to give you a it depends answer, but depending on what options you pick the price fluctuates. The OVRLND campers give you countless customizable add ons that have varying prices.

$7-8k for GFC and $10-15k OVR

60-100 lbs difference is not what I’d consider a different league. You could make an argument for either model, just depends on your application.

I’m going with the go fast camper without the roof top tent it’s lightweight.

Putting a headliner/fabric in the OVR LND solves the condensation issue. They offer it as a add on.

How was it not objective?

I have seen it, seen it four times. You have eyes, see the comparisons for yourself. He was honest in the presentation, whether he favors one over the other or not. He wasn't hiding the pros or cons of either product. If it's aerodynamic and stylish, with a great view from the sleep area but less room and harder above and below transition access, GFC may be for you. If you favor more room, easier above and below transition access, the vertical walls for easier build out, than Ovrland may be for you. Good point he made on the advantage of the barn door feature.

@@PS987654321PS He showed some clear bias and overlooked the facts like how easy one was to deploy (its so much quicker to deploy a GFC than an OVRLND camper). In addition, he left out points like how there is the ability to make a desk with the configuration of the GFC which you can't do with the OVRLAND. The bed sliding out noise was horrendous as well with the OVRLND. There were just some clear preferences displayed by the creator towards OVRLND, obvious to an object onlooker.

Biased I think.

It very

I was thinking the same thing. Why only 480p lol

And get the guy filming an oxygen mask, dude sounded like he was dying.

These are made to go where trailers cannot, different applications

I'm not sure what you mean by over-priced. Even teardrop trailers range from $10K and up brand new. The OVRLND is $9400 before options. It's a few thousands cheaper and lighter than a very similar Project M design. As far as glamping, I guess that depends on how you build it out, or in how you don't. In fact, what makes these "glamping"? Being up off the ground? Making use of their existing truck? Neither of these seem especially glamorous, especially not as compared to an RV.

I agree that is a bunch of coin, but that is what it sells for and they can't stay ahead of demand.

And why do you think it's flimsy? The sheet metal is thin yes but it's just sheathing which goes on a very sturdy tube frame, the extruded aluminum up strong is an extremely sturdy material as well, its 10k for a low volume production sturdy camper, personally i wouldn't pay 10k id rather build it for 3k seeing as its based on an older diy tacoma camper design and thats the materials cost

Which one are you referring to?
