Yes YT does not seem to want to give the last few needed but we finally got 1000!

Will do, thank you! Have a great trip! Hopefully two more videos 😁

Will plan to do that when we go out again. Thanks for the recommendation!

You are welcome!

We have not had issues with dust. There is a fair amount of weather stripping between camper and truck bed. Not airtight but very well sealed.

Thank you!

Yeah, this is typical of a startup that doesn't have a plan to scale capacity or manage demand. Founders underestimate the difference between having a cool idea and scaling a viable, growing business. The folks at Hiatus would be better served by licensing their patent to a larger scale manufacturer.

Sorry just saw this - hope you found the waterfall and had a great trip! Waterfall was closest one to cabin, I think a couple of miles down the valley.

Erin and Tyler @hiatus campers were so great to work with! Most people will continue to modify and evolve, as we did. We had a lot of camping/camper/trailer experience. For us it was about distilling down to what we needing, committing to purchase and then getting out there.

It has held up to significant winds in Kansas and beachside in Assateague. The rain is no louder than it would be in a tent ;) we have had zero leaking from the roof or side panels.

The bed needs to be slid in to bring top down

Thank you! There are challenges with every rig but we do not have condensation issues and the insulation helps. Ice on top initially a problem but was easy to remedy.

What did you go with?

Haven’t made any decisions yet. After having the GFC I came away with a lot of positive and negative feelings. The entire design of that camper is not meant for the nasty, damp, Northeastern winter. I think the ultimate would be an electric “conversion van” with 4x4. I’m sure these type of campers are coming in the fairly near future.

@@hopnglo680 It seems the more I study this stuff, the further I become from making a choice. One thing is universal right now and that's every choice cost way to much right now.

I got lucky and purchased the GFC just before Covid. I was able to sell the camper a year later for what I paid for it. GFC was very difficult to get ahold of after the sale. My polyfin hinges went bad after a short time and the rear door fell right off. Trying to get GFC to handle it or return my correspondence was a nightmare. I had to drive 4 hours to a central meeting place, get a hotel while the overworked service guy fixed about 10 campers on the side of the road. Was not a happy time and I was scared to be stuck with a $7500 piece of junk without doors on it.

500 lb give or take

Thank you!

I did! It’s awesome. Sold my 2019 gas guzzling, rough riding Tacoma for it. Taking a 5 hour trip is a joy now instead of a chore.

We have also owned Tacoma's for the last 21 years. We've loved them as a work truck and toy hauler. If driving longer distances (we have driven cross-country twice) the Ridgeline is far more comfortable. Reminds me of driving my Dad's 80's and 90's circa Cadillacs back in the day. The RL clearance is a significant limitation, however.
