I just purchased a used Flip-Pac Top tent camper for my truck in LA. Problem is I am in Ohio, 2200 miles away!!
Can someone in LA help out with the sale. The person does not have Pay Pal and I am also working on getting it shipped. Its BIG, heavy, full size cap with a tent. BTW...I got a gooooood deal! $500

UPDATE....Shipping looks like about $400-450. Not to bad. The next problem is the cap was made for a Chevy. I have a Ford SD. The Flip Pac will be 2" to short(high) and 2" to short(length). The back window will be fine but I will end up with a 2" gap at the front. I could make it all work with some fiberglass work and a spacer but I wonder if its worth it??? New at the factory they are $3,700.00

Thanks
Louie

Yeah, Vince's Flip-Pac is supercool! I have had the honor of traveling with him a "few" times.

Having owned and used a Wildernest (for a short while). And seeing Vince's Flip-pac in action. I would prefer the Flip-pac.

Just got a better quote on shipping! $395!! So I could have it to my door for $895...I wish I lived in CA Did I just type that?? If I can make this work, I wll give up on the roof top tent. This Flip Pac seems much better for me.

I will need do some custom fab work to make the Flip-Pac look and work right.(Smaller Chevy full size to a bigger Ford SD full size) Just trying to picture how to add two inchs to the bottom and front part to make it look ok??

I talked to Diane at Flip-Pac and she told me get it for sure at that price.

Update...new shipping quote $325!! Total $825 shipped!!!
