Truck topper pop-top/canopy camper

I’ve experimented a little with the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 running a LF Bros heater. But only on the AC/inverter side. Bluetti claims 3900 Watts ‘surge’ power for this unit, but I’m not sure if that’s inverter side only? It starts and runs the LF no problem on AC. The heater doesn't draw much once it gets thru the startup cycle.

Since it’s suppose to be more efficient, I plan to try it on the 12v DC side to see if it’ll start the heater once I get the proper wiring setup.

So far- time will definitely tell- the 200 V2 is an impressive little unit. Great power and feature set for the size. The LF Bros Plateau got off to a rocky start- I had to completely disassemble it to find a bad connection at the fuel pump. Once that was fixed tho, it’s a great heater so far. Quiet and powerful. It’ll have to be well below freezing to run it on high. It produces a lot of heat.

We leave tomorrow for a 10-day northern AB moose hunt. That’ll also be the dry run for the camper & heater setup.
 
Why are super pacific so much more expensive?

I did notice on YouTube they support hunters, which really shocked me being hipster looking dudes from Portland.


I also came across this loan peak overland which the owner is a hunter. So that would be nice to support.

I haven’t done a bunch of research, but all the ones that have a pop out tent section seems like they mite not do good in bad weather.

I like how simple super pacific is.

But I also like the looks of the ovrland it’s straight wall more like a project M

I’m a total cheap ass. But I sleep in my regular canopy all the time.

And not that I have a 5.5 bed tundra there just isn’t enough room.

I have to do something different for 26 season

I’m just not sure what. Maybe even just a roof top tent.

Of the brands I have mentioned here, Topo Toppers are aspiring hunters and are very excited about us getting a Rincon. Super Pacific, Lone Peak, Soaring Eagle, Harker, all are hunters and outdoorsmen. Four Wheel Campers has supported hunters for a long time, but are not hunters. Oru and Hiatus didn't seem to thinkmuch of hunting either way.

The big difference in our eyes when we looked at the Lone Peak was that it is bolted together extrusion and they are new to the market.

Soooo many options, it’s hard to keep track of all the bullet points.

I wish more offered a barn door, remove the tailgate option

I think that would be much easier then climbing over the tailgate option.

I’m keep toying with the idea.

But being a real cheap skate prevents it.

I passed on a used gfc because it was the wrong color and wish I had snagged it.
