Cirrus is using a retractable type ratchet strap on the 620 model. Weight of camper could be upwards of 2500#. They are mounted on the camper and attach in the bed tie downs. Thoughts?

still way overpriced for what you get. yes it has a strong fram and is insulated good but thats where it stops. cramped, no real toilet or shower. I think this would be apropreatly priced at 1/2 there asking price and thats only because of the solar and such that is intragrated into the camper roof. there are a lot of things I like about these and a lot I don't. If the price was more realistic compared to other campers, I would concider one myself.

....that is CAD. Their shop is about 140 kilometers from us. What is that in USD? Something like $74k USD today. Not too bad, considering that the $100k CAD model has in the vicinity of $45,000 in accessories in and on top and on back of it.
We are following a Quebec couple (young couple, probably in their mid 30s) who bought a LOKI. While their rig is being cultom-built, their last Youtube vid showed them with a LOKI loaner this winter.
I recall seeing the "jacks" being retractable into the camper shell, kinda like landing gear on an aircraft.

I should have included a link to that. The diesel fueled cooktops are a solid surface unit that is very similar in design to a propane furnace in that it exhausts itโs fumes and excess heat to the outside. Since they are apparently already supplying diesel fuel to the water heater/furnace via either a connection to the truck fuel system or an onboard tank, that could also supply fuel to a diesel cooktop.
Iโm not fond of a single-source of energy for RVโs for the same reasons I have never wanted a total electric home.
EarthRoamer uses these in their units, BTW.

Did you ask the company this question? Seems they would know better than any of us... or is this a sneaky way to get in a plug and website link for the brand?
No, I do not work for the company or own their stock. I am really curious on how the heck the tie downs are accessed when the camper is in the bed. It does make for a much cleaner look.
With limited storage space, I can't imagine trying to find a place to put the jacks when you take them off.

Could be. Unless the OP returns we may never know. Or maybe itโs: if he never returns, we know for sure! :B
Anyway, I like the construction and perceived build quality of the unit. Itโs got some nice features like the Webasto water and air heating unit. Iโm assuming itโs the Dual Top ST diesel water heater/furnace combo unit. Thatโs five grand right there. Itโs got a lot of solar, and a lot of batteries. I see a Redarc controller panel, so Iโd bet there are other Redarc components in there as well. Those are all high quality, and high dollar Australian built units.
I donโt like the porta-potty, or hassock style toilet. Youโd think that for a >$100K truck camper, they could have found a way to squeeze in a cassette toilet at the least.
The shower contraptionโฆ.I donโt know about that for frequent use. Cleaning up, drying out and storing a soft-wall shower enclosure like that very often seems like would get old quick. Just the little experience Iโve had with putting away a wet tent, then having to make sure you get it out so it will dry and not mildew makes me question how well the shower will work when you throw in the soap, dirt, and bacteria that will present in a shower environment.
I donโt like that the only means of heating food is a portable induction cooktop. I get the โNo microwaveโ and the โNo propaneโ part, but Webasto makes a diesel fueled cooktop, seems like they could have fit one somewhere.
Just my impressions from what I could glean from the website.
