The first container lot is sold and they are taking names for the next one in the April-May time frame. My lack of patience doesnt help me here
I dont want the gofast as it only has a 2" mattress
Debating between the Alu-cab, Camp King and Roofnest Falcon
Wanting to hear the feedback on why the one person wasnt happy with the Falcon
Fortunately there is an Alu-Cab dealer in Denver, Roofnest is in Boulder and a Camp King dealer in Steamboat Springs
I should have jumped on the Alpha, but from what I saw it seems similar to the Alu-Cab except for the awning and a few minor changes. I would replace the ladder on the alu cab
I really like the finish on the Camp King and that it is lighter, but it is a lot more expensive. It comes with the insulation built in but no electrical. Can be added
From a size and weight the Roofnest pictures look like it is the best, lightest (135 lbs) with no roof overhang over my rack. It appears to have a lighter canvas (not sure) which would only be a difference in the winter. They keep them in LA from the boat from China, but the price includes shipping to your house
still debating, I built this table for me. Thought I would share. Prices include the sale price for Black Friday I got talking to the vendors. That is why they are different than the web site

I am going back and forth on most of these same tents. At the moment I am trying to decide between the Bush and the Falcon but have not really completely ruled out the others. I have a similar spreadsheet I have made for myself. The only one of these I have seen in person is the Camp King.
I think I saw on expo portal that the Alu-cab Gen 4 might come out early next year. Not sure what the changes are. From what I've seen, there are already some design differences since I bought mine in January. LED interior light is now in the tent ceiling and not on stalks in the floor, which is great.
. Definitely yourself the stuck mattress. I did that after my first night in it after purchase.
Thanks for your reply, what does the above mean? Did you add a 1" foam on top or something?
There was not anything I really disliked about it. I did like the quality of the build. It is still on my list. I went and saw it the last time I was out in San Diego a few months ago. I think the problem was Joost was saying that he did not think they could ship one without damaging it. Not sure if they have solved that yet. He seemed to be pushing the James Baroud in some ways. I have ruled them out. I see to many problems with them.what was your impression of the camp king and why did you decide against it?
My biggest concern with the alu cab and others in that size is the overhang off my truck on both sides impacting airflow and the weight on top of my 200 when off road.

Here is where I am at. The Bush Company would have been nice, but don't want to wait until POSSIBLY May and they dont know what the price will be for that shipment
Talked to some owners who had quality issues and others who didnt. Wanted this because of concern on weight on roof and overhang causing wing drag. Otter let me know that with a 100 it isnt an issue so with a 200 . . . . . Hey I owned a 100, an 80 and other 40's
That leaves the Camp King and Alu-Cab. I can get both here in Colorado from local dealers installed at their shop
The Camp King seems to be better quality, but Alu-Cab isnt a slouch there either (I believe). There are other differences I think tip in Camp Kings favor: lighter weight, better ladder, nicer finish on exterior. On the other hand, electrical isnt extra in the Alu-Cab and I do like the 6 pocket arrangement. It really comes down to is the difference worth $700
I am going to look at an Alu-Cab this weekend and hopefully that is enough to make my decision. I did see the Camp King two years ago at Cruise Moab, but didnt look with the scrutiny of a buyer. I do remember it was cool and I liked it.
BUT I could turn into waffle boy and change my mind
Anyone have a Camp King with a comparison to the Alu-Cab?
Any other Falcon owners ?
