    I was going to get a topper A.R.E and make aluminium windows to lock on ramboxes. Then I remembered Flated. It works even for Ram boxes trucks. Included the 6"4 bed ❤🎉 awesome!

    Just got mine ! Love it . One suggestion for an upgrade; maybe try magnets to seal it to the truck on the back flap. I’m going sew a few on mine, maybe even a magnet strip.

      Magnets work great but there was a time when the manufactures made the tailgates out of aluminum so it’s not a universal solution. Thanks🤙

    Wow! This may be something for trucks pulling bumper pull RV’s worried about payload. We travel all over the country on our RUclips channel. This may also be the answer traveling with our Emountain bikes in the back. I will certainly be watching to see how this product hold up. Great idea!!

    Awesome product. I noticed in almost all the videos of the camper shell that light comes through were the topper meets the bed, maybe you need to add a flap with a magnetic strip to cover that gap and avoid water dust and insects to get in.

    This is really cool. I've been looking at toppers for my 2009 Ram 1500 4x4 that has Ramboxes. I only need one a few times a year and mostly as an aero aid when I'm towing my 1962 Shasta canned ham. This looks like a great solution for that and I see you show it fits the Rambox beds. Mine is the 5' 7" one.

      Thanks for the comment Nick, the Air-Topper sounds like it would be a great solution for you. Check out getflated.com and we have the dimensions to see if it fits your 2009 Ram 1500 w/ Ramboxes.

      I have one for my 2022 w ram boxes. It works great. In a pinch, you can reach through the side windows to loosen the straps on one side and lift the topper to access the ram boxes

    Dude, this is an awesome idea! Could you try to make a version that goes from full height down to a tonneau cover height? Also, please try to integrate an LED center brake light too.

    • @FLATED
      @FLATED  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the suggestion, I'm a little confused on the "goes from full height down to a tonneau cover height?" are you suggesting that we incorporate the Flated Air-Deck into an all-in-one design?

    • @ml9867
      @ml9867 Год назад +1

      @@FLATEDNo, I'm picturing the Topper being able to condense into a tonneau cover for everyday use when a full height truck cap isn't needed. This would also give better visibility out the back of the truck. It might be way to complicated to execute, but let me know your thoughts. Don't forget to send me one for free if you can make happen.

    • @pierre1892
      @pierre1892 Год назад +2

      Great idea! I imagine being able to deflate the sides and only leave the top inflated so that it functions as a tonneau cover for day to day use when you don’t need the extra headroom.

    How well do these hold up in Canadian Winter conditions? We get to -40C for long stretches? Also, how durable are they in the bush, if you were to take the truck hunting and they got scraped by branches?

    • @FLATED
      @FLATED  Год назад

      Thanks for the question Jon, the Air-Topper is made out of durable PVC coated Drop Stitch material that will take on brush and limbs without damage. I drove mine straight into a parking garage "low clearance" sign and hit the concrete to about half way and backed out and it just scrapped it up a little. So these things are super tough, check another short video on our page where we rode an ATV on the Air-Deck and drove over an Air-Carrier with a tractor.

    Does the air-topper fit if you have a hard tonneau cover folded up against the cab of a truck?

    • @FLATED
      @FLATED  2 года назад +1

      Hi DJFLYGUY, thanks for the question... if the Air-Topper can sit on the edge of the bed still it will fit on there. If you want to join a live chat @ www.getflated.com you can share an image of your tonneau cover.

    What chemical or fumes come off the topper? I’m concerned about sleeping in there if it smells like plastic fumes, low ventilation

    • @FLATED
      @FLATED  Год назад

      Great Question Joel. We are using a Phthalate-Free PVC drop stitch. It smells "new" out of the box, but that quickly goes away from driving it around town and down the highway. My wife is ultra sensitive to odors and she has never mentioned a thing about it. Back in the early days of Inflatable SUP's, the material stunk bad and off-gassed. But the technology has come a long way.

      It will loose some pressure, but will not deflate to the point of collapsing.

  • @eisaalmuhairi6600

      Thanks for the question Eisa, we have an EVA material to seal around the bed but still needs a little weather striping on the bulk corners depending on your truck bed.
