Spotted this and thought it was a decent design. Would keep a low COG, protect all of your gear and sleep 4. Good concept.

Some outfit in Canada is designing these. It looks worth watching.

Very clever idea. I like it.

Was that a Ranger it was mounted on? The pictures are too small to see clearly but that looks like a Ranger bed. I would have expected it to be used on full sized vehicles first.

Notice that they don't have a price yet. I'm guessing expensive....

That's really innovative.

I've never been a fan of tonneau covers but that's a great combo.

As far as I know they took it off the market for a re-design.

It has potential, but only if the tent canvas is integrated. The version displayed requires you to put it all together before use.

now that is a cool idea. and yes, if they incorporate the canvas into the cover it would be A1.....

It depends on what you want to get out of your truck ... a day tripper or a weekend warrior.

If you wanna go day-tripper, something like this is more in order. Add a CO2 bottle to charge the beer taps and have a blast.

The biggest problem is its a tonneau. My truck cam with one and no matter what it was I put in the bed it was always slightly taller than the cover so I ended up selling it. They are more trouble, I'd rather see a cap that the roof lifted.

interesting concept but it looks like a lot of set up time to me.
