no perfect awning, if it's a full coverage than is paint to put away. I got a roofnest, I like but not perfect, no full coverage at 90 deg and its not a true 90 deg.

Your B roll shots are incredible!!

I think it is a pretty decent new camper. If you live on the east coast, you can cross ToPo off the list unless you are willing to drive across country. I get it, but it is too bad.

Ha...I used to claim that I slept well on a firm mattress... and that the 3" of foam that came with the Off Grid trailer I got rid of was enough lol.......now though, with my Kimbo and the full residential 8" box spring mattress combo it comes with I really know what sleeping well is like.

Convenient 10pts. Ugly also 10pts.

I prefer shorter videos. Anything over about six minutes, I set my telephone to '1.25x' playback... or faster.

Better get some snake chaps

We poked around 😂an abandoned tool shed once,found a cute little glass perfume bottle sitting in the window.i carefully picked it up,removed the lid for a sniff....nothing.so i poured it out.the ground smoked and sizzled. It was acid! Glad i sniffed first and not dabbed it behind my ear!

It was nice meeting you at the PNW Expo. Nice review as always.

It's almost perfect. Get rid of the L track and convert to T track.

What kind of MPG hit did you notice with your Mesa topo topper? I' considering the Ricon in a year or so but idk if I want to have my range very limited by an even lower MPG.

You might consider shopping for a cheap pair of shoes (preferably mostly canvas) for just this situation. Something quick drying and comfortable, a spare camp shoe for inclement weather. Then when you expect the going to get watery, you could just walk up the stream. Depending, of course, on how far you want to walk in wet shoes. Bringing only quality shoes may not be your best strategy, but you still need a decent platform for the rocks. As little marshland as you run into in the desert, they'd probably outlast your good boots. Trout fishing shops used to have excellent shoes for this, but they weren't cheap.

Not unique, they copied the Tune M1 on the flared walls.

Rip off . You could get used camping trailer for that money . I will never understand people dropping $10k plus on a freaking roof pop up tent L O L !

Does this fit nicely on a 5 foot bed ?

I was about to order the radica moonlander then this rincon topo topper just hit...hmmm. May have to visit Ventura to see this rincon first hand.

This looks to be a very nicely designed (the original truck mirrors work with the expanded camper shell) and beautifully constructed camper offering good accommodation for its size. I wish them every success with their lovely camper. Thank you for featuring this excellent camper.

Extra wide truck top campers, so hot right now! lol. It’s fun to see each manufacturer have a different take on the same idea. Looks like Topo Toppers picked a nice middle ground with some added width while not sticking out too far. These would be somewhat limiting in Oregon’s forest but great for families or extended trips.

Pretty sweet topper. It was good meeting you at expo this year. I’m the dude with the diesel powered samurai.

Missed you at the expo this year. Saw the truck, really like the new setup.

I have the Mesa topper on my truck and like it very much. I drove to California from Colorado to pick it up last summer. Topo toppers offer the best bang for buck as far as topper campers go. I wish the 4 inch pad was available when I bought mine. I've added solar and insulation to the interior for the extra comfort. The only thing different I would ask for is a double or single sideways opening door like those seen on commercial work trucks. It would make such a difference.

Might need the extra room for that new lady in your life donald lol 😂

"Good sized dog" you say?

Good stuff as always.

Looks like another genius engineering project. I wouldn't expect anything less from Thomas & Co. Everything they make is built tough, simple and rugged.

If I ever go to a popup canopy for my Ranger, it’s going to be one of the Topos.

Looks like a winner for a family on a budget. Love the flared sides.

Looks nice! Almost a small apartment. Thanks for sharing! George.

Wish you and more companies would make a hard sided pop up.

Torn between this and lonepeak camper. The space is super nice and a really nice alternate and cheaper than the tune m1 or Project m.

10k….I’ll stay with my ground tent.😂

I like the Anglo pronunciation of the Spanish word "Reen Cone". Rincon is the Spanish word for corner or nook.

Let’s see what Donald has found for us. 😅

I’m liking that new design!! I’m also liking my Mesa two and a half months old. The folks at Topo Topper are great to work with.

Yeah. I did the little sleeping platform like you tried at first. I didn't bump my head, but it felt exposed, with that window on a level with my bed. I wish I had thought of something like Bill's tailgate raiser. When I had that platform setup, I closed the tailgate before I crawled in. If you've got shore power, a 1500 W space heater is probably more than you need, which makes it just right, because you can leave a window or windows cracked. Probably drive you out of there if you left it on high. I would probably want some kind of off-grid heating system: either liquid or solid fuel. I wonder if a stove-jack is something you could negotiate in a build of one of these. I like your setup with the butane stove. I would definitely use that for coffee, hot cereal, or warming up soup or leftovers. That's luxury camping, when you can build a coffee before setting foot, outside. But I think I'd do almost all my cooking, outside. I've been looking at these Topo Toppers, because they're about the most stripped-down, simplest, and lightest campers going. I would rather just have the shell and add features that I wanted, many of which I already own, just from years of truck camping. Campers/RVs with all the built-in stuff just seem like there are lots of things that can go wrong. Why buy into that, when I already have reliable gear? Keep livin' the dream, Bill!

Defiantly DO NOT DRILL - instead, consider using a marine grade bonding agent like - "3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 is a multi-purpose adhesive sealant made specifically for the marine market. This high-strength adhesive forms a weather-resistant seal. It's unique formula reacts with moisture and provides plenty of working time, taking up to 4 days to fully cure. Ideal for use above and below the waterline, it reliably bonds dissimilar materials including wood, fiberglass, gelcoat, plastics, and metals. Polyurethane sealants such as this form permanently flexible, elastomeric bonds that seal against the elements, maintain joint movement, and absorb stress caused by shock, vibration, swelling or shrinking. Such durability, versatility, and flexibility prepare 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 for tough applications like sealing portholes, deck/hull fittings, rub rail attachment, screw holes, and stanchion supports." Consider reaching out to 3M to confirm the best bonding agent, based on the readme, I think this might be the Willy Wonka golden ticket. You can find this on amazon.

Anyone know what happened to Casey with Coyote Works?

Fantastic review. Going to buy one on your recommendation!

Invest in some snake gaiters Donald. Great to have

Awesome this what I need!! Just enough for the fridge saw and electronics! Thanks!!

Beautiful brother

Kind of amazing the rock climbers haven't found this spot. Reminds me of the Oyhee river canyon.

Snakes love those wet, marshy areas. Especially if there happens to be a warm/hot spring.

Very honest review, thank you

Thank you, I have been enjoying the series. Regards from Ody Slim

Definitely a thumbs up for the video and algorithms 👍

Great video and videography in this video. Excellent work!

I, like many others here, I'm sure, really appreciate your efforts. I know it takes a lot of time and energy and sweat to do these explorations, but I am glued from the very beginning to the very end. Thank you!

Love your channel... as a channel that mixes overlanding and hiking, it is hard to keep your audience watching both. But you did a good job. If you were on the east coast I'd say let's get together sometime. You seem to roll at about my speed. Was there any opportunity to fly from just off the protected land?
