This camper was built in Colorado to my specs for use in the Canadian winter. With 2" of insulation throughout and a 20k btu furnace I have already used it at ski area parking lots in Colorado, Utah, and British Columbia and been comfortable at -18 C (0 F).

More pics to follow.

Robby Rowe, builder and owner of Coyote RV is shown working on my truck's plug in. Also shown are recently completed campers at the factory.

One of the really nice features of Phoenix campers is that instead of turnbuckle tie downs they use a ratcheting strap, like truck drivers use to secure loads, to tie down the camper. This system offers some flexing thru the strap and allows retightening from outside the camper without accessing the little sliding panel from inside.

Does the tent section--the pop-up section--also have 2" inches of insulation or only the hard-sided part?

Vey nice. I see these guys are right here in the hood - I will have to go up and check them out.

How do they compare price wise and weight wise with the FWC?

I think the base price is $14,500 and mine was more due to all the custom extras which also make it heavier. The thicker overhang which has under the bed storage also adds weight but since Coyote RV build custom, you can also get thinner lighter weight overhang.

The soft wall pop up is two layers of a thinsulate knock off sandwiched between two layers of fabric, so it is four layers in all.

Nice camper and nice 1st gen Dodge diesel as well. I've been following Pheonix/ Coyote and they seem to have some really inovative things on the market including a pop-up camper for a Wrangler. Hope you have a great time with the new rig.

Thanks for the info DanoT. The insulation sandwich in the side liner sounds like a good idea.

Do you have any interior photos? Just curious.

Congrats on the new camper, DanoT. I'm curious about the awning over the rear door. Does it go up with the roof when it is raised or stay at the height seen in the photo? It looks like the arm might get in the way of the door when deployed. Do you have any photos with the awning out?

The awning does not go up with the roof and the top of the door contacts the awning when the door is opened. The main reason for the awning is to minimize water getting into the camper when entering/exiting during a heavy down pour. it should work ok for this.
