Please help me decide on a truck camper

. . . The Cirrus campers seem to be one of the more forward thinking TC companies and they use a bunch of aluminum and Adzel in the construction of their campers. They are on my list. Truck Camper Magazine just ran an article on the “Smart” camper option they are developing. It’s pretty intriguing. The roof is aluminum, as I recall and they’ve mounted a 200w flexible solar panel on the curved nose of the roof. Aluminum is a big plus, if you’re planning on a lot of time in the southwestern US. Just a thought.

My reservations with the Cirrus have to do with the big window on the nose of the cab-over. That looks like a leak waiting to happen. Beyond that, Cirrus gives you a really efficiency heating system and use of space.

My $0.02 and worth every penny,

IMO, Cirrus is absolutely pushing the envelope with their camper design. I was absolutely taken back when I first walked through a couple of 820/920 Cirrus campers less than a year go. It's obvious they have some very talented engineers and CNC operators on their payroll. My only concern is the sheer number of updates/changes they've made to their campers in such a short amount of time. IMO, this inevitably leaves the final R&D step (testing long-term reliability/functionality) up to the final consumer. Me, I'm just not comfortable playing that role. If Cirrus is able to settle on a proven, reliable camper design, fine-tune that design with no major changes for a number of years, then I could see us actually owning one.
