Proud owner of a AT Habitat on a diesel RAM. It’s a tried and true design; that’s why it’s been around for so long. We optioned for artic tern window on drivers and passenger side, rear window, and front access window. A lot of room for our family of three (soon to be family of four) plus our two doggies. Interior room is unmatched by all other campers out there when fully opened (i.e., no need to set-up or move sleeping panels out of the way). Other camper configurations work for others respective needs. Our AT Habitat has and continues to provide our family joy and peace of mind when out on adventures. Lastly, Mario and AT stand by their products and provide customer satisfaction above and beyond.
Love watching Mario so passionately talk about his products. Your innovation and attention to detail really set AT apart from the competition. Happy to be a part of the AT Family.
Yes. Those flip-open topper tent is the bomb. I don't think I'd mind one that was clankier, and didn't rely on gossamer-thin gas struts. Just looks like an obvious point of failure. Maybe that bit's just a little too fussy for hard use by people who had a beer before setting up the sleeping quarters. Something simple, mechanical, and bulletproof. Have some kind of hook or loop on top, at the front, and maybe a slot at the hinge, where you can fish a long pole from the back to the front, with a ring or hook at the end to snag the loop or hook on the front. Then with the long pole extended out about as far from the truck as the topper is long, bear down on the end and lift the front of the topper. Once it's close to half way, the weight's off it. But your gas struts are at a mechanical disadvantage, and I can see the thing breaking if I'm the one using it. I looked really hard at some of the Australian tent trailers that folded open on a hinge the same way. Properly executed, they are the slickest tent setups, and you double or triple the footprint. I've seen them triple the footprint by folding out in more than one direction. I have an offroad teardrop camper on order, so of course I start seeing these camper ideas. The main reason I didn't go with a truck camper was I like to operate out of a base camp for a few or several days running, and you can't do that with a tent sticking out the top. That's why I'm also more partial to the idea of parking adjacent to or under a decent free-standing shelter.
This is a very informational video and I love seeing all the positive comments. That said I have something so juvenile to ask that I'm debating putting it on here. The question is this. I'm trying to figure out what advantages there are to this (at a very high cost) to putting a tent on the ground? Our truck camping set up now currently consists of a sleeping tent and two pop up tents (bought from Walmart) that allow covered and screened in cooking area and relaxing area. The truck bed is reserved for gear carrying and has a cover to it. I was really interested in looking at these until I really started thinking about what the advantages are versus the cost of 14K?
It's a great video, what's missing is the link in the description so that we can click on the link and get directed to a website that gives us a price for the product.
Fantastic!! Question: does the tailgate in the down position interfere with the fold down table tops laying flat on the swing-away, or is it just the camera angle?
Incredible! Can you close the tailgate and the rear hatch once inside? Just thinking about the bugs from the bottom floor panels, or am I missing something?
Yes. I've had a Habitat on my F350 for 4 years, love it. Everything closes up from the inside. I do a lot of solo travel for work and often stealth camp using the truck bed floor (6.75 ft.). Because I have some gear cabinetry, I have 31" (width) of space remaining, perfect for various air mattresses.
A few adventurous folks have gone through the effort of flipping their Habitat for that reason. I originally thought of doing that, but after mounting a Frontrunner roof rack (recovery gear, spare parts, extra water/fuel), I decided I like my Habitat exactly as it is.
Great Demo!! I love this product. Will seriously consider this when I get my new 2025 or 2026 Tundra. I need to have access to all the features of the original bed, which I do with this product- some bed covers do not. I'd be interested to know if flip-up windows on the side come in a non-see through or utility option.
Nice unit if you have a pickup. You use to have one of these that you had mounted on a Jeep but I no longer see that in your videos unless I’m missing it. Want something like this for my 1997 Land Cruiser. Guys I’ll need to build my own from fiberglass or carbon fiber. I need to visit your website to see where yours at in Oregon. Home I’d in eastern Idaho but used to live in Oregon.
I presently use one of Hest’s sleeping pads when camping because my back is in pretty rough shape… is it possible to replace the existing mattress in this unit (or your others) with something like that or should I just settle for a topper of some kind?
Great tent setup. A couple more pole to stable it rather springing up an down?🎉🎉🎉big plus for the floor tent🎉🎉🎉do you have one like this for Jeep Wrangler ?🎉🎉🎉
Looks like the base price is $14k. Not cheap, but it certainly offers some luxuries if you are camping often in remote areas. They don't list the weight.
wow that setup is crazy, you have thought of everything, you should have just thrown in a cook and maid to clean 😅. Do you make things like this for the Tundra trucks?
The cost of those windows are so astronomical it’s offensive, $5-$800 each, such a ridiculous price. It would really be a feat for a company to make an affordable camper, that would really be interesting.
I think there is an issue with the vehicle, not the habitat, and not solely the Tacoma either; so many have soft suspensions nowadays. The habitat may hold 600 lb, but when you pulled on the lip (
I had the same thought, and immediately imagined a simple scissor jack mounted to a receiver hitch that could be inserted once all is deployed for stabilization.
The big problem with these is that once you've set up camp your car is now useless. You are stuck there. Plus all the hassle of setting them up in the first place
Very nice! Not too sure about the vestibule though. You need to go back to the drawing board on that one. I like the awning part but there is a lot of wasted space with the angled walls and the entry is a terrible design.
Crazy how different camping gear is in the USA then Australia. Please don't try and launch this product in Australia it wouldn't go well. We have substantially better products for far less money lol
This has to be the best product demo I’ve seen on YT. Low key, no hype, complete explanation of all features, methodical. Very well done, indeed. 👍

What did It cost you after all said and done
@@papasmurfscout2 $13k w/ options… 15k with tax and installation.
Best truck tent set up I've seen yet.

Как же классно у вас все сделано и продумано! Всё для отдыха и удобств на природе!
I'm glad AT has been putting out more videos featuring their equipment!
Brilliant presentation. Pure valuable info; no hype; no ummms or ahhhs.
This is fantastic and great presentation!
Wow....just great ! Greetings from Germany
Excelente. Genial. Versatil. Muy Bueno. Saludos desde Cordoba Argentina,
Wonderful design!!
Such a great product!!!! It would be brilliant to get them here in Australia
Thankyou so much ,wow beautiful product ,great demo, God bless.

Awesome thanks for the video

That's pretty dam cool!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LOVE IT.✌🏽
I love the craftsmanship! would be great to see that applied to a Rivian R1T...
That is awesome
Such nice camper truck idea
Very well designed
Interested to see how low the overhanging roof is when used with a stock suspension Taco with some gear loaded inside.
Very nice!
Very Nice!
Thanks for showing the vestibule. Mom and two girls can sleep up top and dad and the boy can sleep in the vestibule on cots or swags.
Good work thanks lot
Very interesting 👍
Nice! Is it possible to make a pass through allowing passengers getting into the he cabin from the driving cab?
Thanks
Impressive
It would be nice if the add a small carabiners on those little loops so that you can hang things easier.
Genius!

Freaking slick...WOW
that looks almost exsacly like the camper i built for my international scout ii about 10 years ago
Would be perfect if it flipped over the cab, like a FlipPak. Hopefully y'all make one of those someday.

We do offer top hinged cargo doors of the same dimensions.
Eem-you, not ee-moo!
Propane and gasoline sitting exposed on the rear of the vehicle - what could possibly go wrong?
That's very nice can that topper be installed on a 2008 Toyota tundra and about how much does it cost thanks

When you really don’t want to be on the ground.
Great tent setup. A couple more pole to stable it rather springing up an down?🎉🎉🎉big plus for the floor tent🎉🎉🎉do you have one like this for Jeep Wrangler ?🎉🎉🎉
We have it available for the Gladiator
Nice for fair weather but i dont know about downpour rain, thundetstorm, winds, etc.. Pretty pricey for what it is as well.
Wow this is one of the nicest pop up tents I’ve seen on CZcams…🤙🏾 what is the price and weight of this tent ?
Looks like the base price is $14k. Not cheap, but it certainly offers some luxuries if you are camping often in remote areas. They don't list the weight.
以前的丰田地球流浪者是这个样子的掀顶👍。
THats nice
wow that setup is crazy, you have thought of everything, you should have just thrown in a cook and maid to clean 😅. Do you make things like this for the Tundra trucks?
Yes, we make them for Tundras...maid and cook are extra :-)
i feel like i will own something from this manf. soon
Now make one for a crewcab short bed flatbed!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Think I found my camper for some traveling cross country. Is there a bug screen for the truck bed area(tailgate area)?
Yes, a rear bug screen is available
Quite nice but I see a number of areas for great improvement.
The cost of those windows are so astronomical it’s offensive, $5-$800 each, such a ridiculous price. It would really be a feat for a company to make an affordable camper, that would really be interesting.
High quality double pane windows with built in blinds and screens windows are not inexpensive. We will not skip on quality.
This is super cool, but you guys are really paying $14k+ on these?
For a tent on a platform… $14K… plus the governments share for over payment.
I could just hire a skilled person to do this
@arebeebringas2811 to each their own
Can it be had with a Webasto diesel heater?
How difficult to remove the unit. Only need it on when using rest of time it needs to come off.
สวัสดีครับ
Cool, it’s hard to believe it’s 600 lbs at that distance? Plus, the gasoline can near a stove area is bad! I guess you just put water there instead.
I like that tent, will it fit on a 2015 jku?
Nope
I think there is an issue with the vehicle, not the habitat, and not solely the Tacoma either; so many have soft suspensions nowadays. The habitat may hold 600 lb, but when you pulled on the lip (
I had the same thought, and immediately imagined a simple scissor jack mounted to a receiver hitch that could be inserted once all is deployed for stabilization.
@@matthewpeterson3329 Imagine a larger couple getting frisky out on that cantilever because they don't trust the trap door to take a 'pounding.'
@@matthewpeterson3329 yups,we just have to use the brain sometimes and be creative.
The big problem with these is that once you've set up camp your car is now useless. You are stuck there. Plus all the hassle of setting them up in the first place
Does AT make an attachment privacy to close in the truckbed for addl sleeping space in the truckbed?
Yes
How much weight can the cantilevered part in the back take? Looks pretty dicey lol
600 lbs
I'd like to see how it does in a 30+ moh wind
Quite well actually. XOverland used the Habitat in harsh Yukon conditions and we have tested to 50 mph in DV.
17:33 g wagon
So you’re trying to say is I can’t go to Pound town lol
what is the reason for the heater to be install on the side without window ?
( if the window not on use/ closed, what is the problem? )
There is not enough room for both the heater and the window on the same side.
Hello camper, it was a nice post. Is there a production video of this tent? Greetings from Turkey, welcome to my off road channel GT 4X4
Hi how many cost oll tent?
Very nice! Not too sure about the vestibule though. You need to go back to the drawing board on that one. I like the awning part but there is a lot of wasted space with the angled walls and the entry is a terrible design.
How tall are you?
What happens when my drunk neighbor is looking for the bathroom and trips on those poles sticking out of the side and domes himself on the truck.
Your neighbor will only do that once
How do you clean it?
Soap and water
This is totally sweet, but for $14000 you might as well get a camper with wheels!
very cool product but holy moly $14,000 you must be only targeting 1% of campers .
Crazy how different camping gear is in the USA then Australia.
Please don't try and launch this product in Australia it wouldn't go well. We have substantially better products for far less money lol
