Bought the Cowboy from Capri. The hours of research have finally come to an end. For now this will meet the needs of my weekend getaways and truck payload. Pete was great to work with, delivery in five weeks.

Did you get it with a 5 or 6 ft. roof?

Five foot roof. Pics of the six foot roof are just too weird looking plus the aerodynamics look pretty bad. I'm anxious about the five foot roof, I'm 6'0". Keep telling myself this is just a weekend sleeper for the next few years before I retire. Then if all works out, on to a newer truck with more payload and a popup camper.

You got me thinking more about the five foot roof. I'm good with that decision. Still can park in the garage, less weight than a six foot ceiling for the minimal payload I have to work with.
I'm rethinking the need for the two burner stove. I'm 59 and in good shape, but bending over for any prolonged time has me a bit concerned. Don't have a bad back, but do have some lower back issues if I'm in a bad position for very long. Having never been in a truck camper or camped much at all makes it hard to really know what makes sense. Rather than bending over boiling water for morning coffee or whatever, I think I would just as soon be outside with no height limitation with a small coleman stove. Cooking with be at a minimum as these weekend trips will be mainly for fishing. Oatmeal for breakfast and some deli meat for sandwiches, etc.
Room in this rig is at a premium to say the least, any reason I should keep the stove that I am not considering?

If your primary need is to "cook" water for coffee in the morning, look at a JetBoil. In just a few minutes, you can have a liter of boiling water and do it from a seated position.
