I could take the 4wheeler AND have a place to sleep.
I have had toppers and liked them but I always needed a truck too. I could leave the hoist in and my swing out box. Just pump it up take the 4 wheeler out and have a dry place to sleep.Clap

Looks flimsy?

I'm trying to figure out WHY have an inflatable cap?  doing 80 mph out west I'm sure the 5psia would get a lot of movement,

locally used caps are selling for about $200.

I may not drive down the road with it on.
I'm thinking AFTER I take the 4wheeler out I can put it on and spend a night. Rather then sleeping in the cab or in the open bed of the truck. Like a tent but not on the ground or in the snow.ClapClap

Cheaper, bigger,  and no pump up required.

Years ago, I was looking to buy a tent for hunting/camping trips (in lieu of a camping trailer.

And D, you introduced me to "Surburban" camping, sleeping in the back of a SUV.  that has been working good for the last 8+ years.

But bones are old.  I NEED STANDING ROOM>

SO, I just bought this tent.

Suburban camping is the way to go that's what I think of looking at this topper.
I have looked at and have known people that use the canvases tent like toppers, kind of the same thing but there really are much more difficult to put on and take off and to store them it take a good amount of space with there poles and such.
I have a few tents I could use not a tent guy. I hate setting them up in the snow or rain, and don't get we started about the wind...
With this I'm not on the ground. My neighbor just got a "Tent" that you put on top of your cab and has a long ladder to get in. I watch him put it on and off it will take him at least an hour to do either.
Being over 10 feet to the top he said it does have a tendency to "Sway a bit"
The more I talk about it the more I'm convinced I could really use it, when not in use I can put it up in my carrier.
