My first impression is the wind effect. I would not be comfortable with 30+ mph cross winds while doing 60+ MPH. The wheelbase is just too narrow to stabilize that much mass. Nope!

Are you supposed to be able to sleep in the cap? If so how ? It would be nice if there were more details.
On the bed pictured.

Yeah, if it was a pop up I might consider it

$16,000.00.
That's 100 to 160 nights in a comfy motel room.
Pass.
My wife won't stay in Motels. Hotel yes. But at least after your 100 nights stay you can get half your money back with this.

Looks to me there's enough room for at least two sleepers.

I'd prefer this to the cabover any day. Less than half the price, easier than mounting something in and out of your Maverick, and you still have use of the bed.

This looked great until I saw the interior. Nothing there. Looked like a U-Haul trailer. Apparently, the interior (bed, storage, plumbing, sitting area, etc.) is left to the buyer to furnish, and that flexibility is probably fine for some. For me, I'd rather have the interior already done.

Seems my post needs a bit of explanation. I'm referring not tp the cabover camper, but to the runaway camper trailer.

My thoughts, too. Having another set of wheels as one would with a trailer would be much better.

That's how they accomplish the 634# weight.

So many better options. This is barely a step above a rooftop tent. You can get small travel trailers with full kitchens and baths for far less.
