Swiss Brand Camper Top

Hi, Is the cab high 8 foot Swiss fiberglass truck cap for 1049 dollars a fair price? It includes installation but not the tax. Is the Swiss brand a reliable topper? I can get the basic S-1 model for one hundred more.
  • If you are going to make a really cheap top, I guess it might be an advantage to give it a name that implies it comes from a country where everything is precision crafted and really expensive.

    "Swiss" is an Indiana company and they've been in business for about 40 years. Their business is local/regional.

    Like utility trailers, camper tops have two tiers. There are national brands with big advertising and distribution expenses, and there are local and regional manufacturers that have a small number of local dealers or sell direct. The local guys have lower expenses, can sell at local prices.

    Ask your Swiss dealer to give a reference from a local buyer, if you are concerned about quality. It is not a national brand
  • Never heard of "Swiss" I am getting quotes on LEER and SnuTop at $1500 to $1800 for an 8' fiberglass cap!! Is it used? In California I have been quoted $165 to install and 9% tax!!
  • Never heard of them and if this is for a new one then it's dirt cheap.
    Normally they run 1500 or much more. I paid $2300 for my Snugpro.
