Nice video. Just checked the specs on the Ford F-150s and if you wanted to stay in the 1/2 ton area, would have to purchase one in the upper models, possible 4x4, and larger engine to have a safety margin to haul one of these. It was interesting to see two outside compartments that were not lockable. The propane storage area being one but this makes sense in case of an accident and the water access being the other one. I thought for sure they would do the same as they do on the 400 and have it where you can lock that cover. The layout was very nice and typical of nucamp well done. Nothing looks cheap. You said there is an option for a microwave and I'm going to assume that would take up one of the upper cabinet areas. Very impressed until it came to the toilet. My wife of 40-years looked at me and said NO WAY IN H#$$. Plus, it's right under the fridge and next to the food prep area. Understanding the design struggled with weight, perhaps focused on 1/2 trucks, and wanted as much as possible inside they did a great job. I know lots of comments there needs to be a wet bath but honestly, I don't see where you would put it and still have a rig that would fit a 6' bed.
Ever considered getting rid if the dinette to make a better shower; or removing one side seat of it to make more shower space? If you're worried about the black tank then a cassette toilet could fix the problem by raising it a bit. Even a compost toilet would fix it
The design of the 670 was far superior. The fact I can't get it, unfortunately might just have to take my business elsewhere. That concept was perfect and I was very giddy about it. Please look into bringing it back this year. We would much prefer that design, we will happily take on the added weight - Sincerely, all truck bed campers!
@@TENNESSEETORNADO It's not for everyone, each person has a style that works best for them. But, some of the pros to a truck camper are that you get a camper without having to tow! It's very easy and convenient to get around - and allows you to get to some places that a normal tow behind would not go. They are still pretty quick to drop off the back of the truck, so you have a vehicle to drive around after you set up camp. The floor plans are open and roomy... but you do have to have a truck that can handle one.
The 2013 F150 I traded off for a 250 had a payload of 1700 lbs you would have to get the camper down to about 1000 lbs to leaver enough payload for the weight of the passengers and equipment. Such as a pop-up like a palamino. And no amount of extra springs and air bags is going to legally change your payload.
Yeah they conveniently leave out the little detail that you can only really haul it totally empty and with very few vehicles with specific options packages.
I had an 8' Six Pac back in the 80's that weighed 1200# dry. The F150 with payload package would carry up to 2500# in the bed so this was a good combination. The 5.0 liter V8 with automatic was a good setup with this camper. I did install overload springs, tranny cooler and replace the tires to LT tires.
I can just imagine, visitors ask to use the bathroom, and then rotate out the toilet and do their bizness, while continuing to carry on a conversation. A great comedy routine, but one I get, as I had a converted stepvan in the '70s that had a PortaPottie (I never forgot that great product name) under one dinette seat. A bit awkward when other's are about, but by oneself, and it's raining outside, it got the job done just fine.
As a designer, I see this the good thinking behind this product. Great design first REMOVES elements that are not needed. Then you address the items generally not wanted. "Deconstructive" thinking brings the core elements of value. Yes, thank you, remove the television, AC unit and the awning. Well done, design team. Congrats.
Great review! I know you made a disclaimer regarding the need to check payload capacity of respective half-ton truck, but in all honesty these things would probably have to be built out of balsa wood to be within usable payload capacities (i.e. with passengers, fuel, supplies, etc.) of most half-ton trucks (even with max payload option added). Having said that, I think this is a great camper for almost any 3/4 ton truck, and that's how camper manufacturers should be marketing them (imho). Thanks again for taking the time to review this new camper.
I agree. It’s too heavy for my 1/2 ton which is a 2014 Ford F-150 Supercrew Cab 6.5 ft bed. 3.5L 6cyl. Bummer. It’s nice! What half ton can handle this with reasonable belongings in it?
I saw the previous view you had up for the prototype of the cirrus 670. I actually liked that setup. If these truck campers are 4 season campers, it would be nice to have a compact shower inside rather than having to go outside for a quick shower especially in colder temps. I like this one but would still like an indoor shower 😊
I was just thinking the same thing. The lack of indoor shower is a dealbreaker for me. In addition to temperature issues; the other is when being at a campground. Not too private.
@@diamondeye75 I agree. I like the cassette toilet, but I need a shower. You would be surprised to know how much of these campers are made of off the shelf parts. I think it wouldn[t be too hard to build one yourself if you don't mind taking on a project.
I drive a Camry. My plan is to go choose the pickup camper I like, get a truck recommendation from the dealer, then go trade the Camry in for the recommended truck (new), then return that same day to put the camper on the truck. Opinions?...
I think that is a great idea. You definitely need a truck to handle whichever truck-camper you choose. Which truck will greatly depend on the camper you choose :)
If $38,000 is correct for the price why would you not just buy a toy hauler and get way more room with all the options and then some I like the camper but 38000 seems way too much for what that is
Thank you for the nice review. Seems like it’s well-made and it’s light, but those prices are well out of my league. But there’s something for everyone
I like it. Indoor kamode, out door shower hook up, cabinet space for clothes, cabinet space for spices and food, t.v. hook up, two burner stove top, sink, Queen bed, A/C & heat option, 20 l.b.s. gas tank, big windows with screen & privacy shades, two seat kitchen seating, only one problem....I don't own my Toyota truck no more☹. Questions: Do you have radio & speakers in the truck camper? Do you have options of awnings like an unbrella fold out awning that raps around one side to the back of the truck camper? How much does the 620 cost?
So this camper would have no problem fitting in a 6 foot bed Tacoma? Also it was interesting about the airplane sounds. Usually they take off and go away. It's like the pilot knew you were trying to make a video and decided to keep buzzing you.
Can anyone comment why tischer in Europe is able to make a modsize slide in with a full wet bath that only weoghs 1300lbs and noone in the US is able to do this?
Very cute and plenty for a single camper - but without a freezer, it would limit it for maybe only a weekend camper. Some single folks like this size for full-time rv-ing - there appears to be enough room to accommodate one in the fridge area - maybe it could be an option for those that like to take extended trips.
I would like to see which 1/2T trucks this will safely be carrying this camper. I would say this can only be SAFELY carried by a regular cab (2 drs) standard equipped truck with no options.
Think the 670 was a better design, I’m not a fan of pooping in my kitchen. I’m sure the added weight of it could have been handled with the addition of air bags or helper springs.
Good presentation. Very informative. I'm a newbie still looking into this for retirement travel. Dumb question of the day. How do you access the ratchet binders after you've lowered the camper onto the truck to tighten them ? Thanks.
This new model does not work for me. I loved your video on the 720 and it got my hopes very high until i found they dont make it. That bathroom/shower area was great.
Please, could you mention the price. Even if it’s rounded off. I hate an entire video on a camper, then NO mention of price. I have to go to the damn website to find the ballpark price. Thanks
Apologies. I try to mention price, but this particular video was of a prototype that did not even have a ballpark price at that time. The video is also 2 1/2 years old so it would not be accurate at this point anymore. The newest version of this camper is now called the Cirrus 620 if that helps.
Love you mande Lea Love the cirrus However the 620 is only built for one person. There is no place to go to the bathroom. I am married for 36 years and I have to be honest I have never went to the in front of my husband. The 620 is not a good fit for that reason.
@@fayemarshall2254 works for you That’s good. In my 60 years I always used a closed room it’s a private time for some I am not an avid camper Just thinking about the right fit for retirement. We will need a bathroom even if it’s a wet bath. Though I do love the idea of a compost!!
I understand what you're saying... there are folks of all kinds with different preferences. There is no "perfect camper", just the "perfect camper for you"
After watching several videos of being stuck in a freak snow storm, and the power going out, MAYBE every camper or RV needs to add a portable small wood burning stove with a separate smoke stack next to the propane stove exhaust fan. JUST IN CASE OF POWER FAILURES!?!
All those big round plastic caps they use to cover the fasteners in the cabinetry and wood trim make it look really cheap. I expect better from nuCamp. I thought they were trying to be a premium brand.
I guess it is a nice enough camper. Couldn't believe the price they are though. Looks like double the price of a Palomino popup. Couldnt see anything there to justify that price difference.
I have a 2020 Palomino750, I’m trading it in for this 620........hands down a much better built, better finish, better heating system, way more storage, a true 4 season camper........expensive yes , way better camper than the Palomino

I loved the bathroom arrangement on the 720. That was ingenious and it is a shame they could not do it in this one.
I agree, it sure was cool.. Guess they couldn't afford the weight.
The bathroom on the previous model was a homerun. Very disappointing.
Taking away the separate bathroom of the 670, to replace it with a stinky toilet next to the cooking are is a huge step back.
@@nukezat if your cassette toilet stinks, then you're doing it wrong. I might rig up a curtain for some privacy. And hey, use the exhaust fan.

Compact, no registration, 2 or 4 less tires to worry with, easier to store, cheaper to park…. But $38k…. Is ALOT
Nice camper! But strangely it's missing a jacuzzi and/or hot tub. But on the plus side it would be a great sauna without the AC during summer time!
LOL! Too funny.... I mean, you could always get creative...
Great presentation
Thank you!
Great presentation, Mandy. Looks like a fantastic half ton truck camper.
Thanks! Not my best, but the best I could do with the times...
I remember, I love your vids my dear always a happy presentation
Thank you again Norman!
Cassette tank is easy to transport around the airport. LOVE IT!
Around the airport?!
@@MandyLea yeah its portable perfect for luggage / baggage convenient when flying especially during connecting flights. It has wheels and nice handle.
Was looking for you at the show but not sure if you were there on Thursday.- Thanks for the great videos from CO on the Fourteeners !
Aw bummer to have missed you! We only worked Saturday and Sunday..
Beautifully presented, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Great video and a great camper! Wish they made it for an 8’ bed!
They do!! Check out the CIRRUS 820 and 920!
Great review! But I really like the 670 models with an indoor shower.
I liked it too, unfortunately that one never went into production!
I would have the proto type, I like it a lot better. Especially the bathroom+shower 🚿
Yep, it was a cool proto for sure!
Thank you for the nice review. Seems like it’s well-made and it’s light, but those prices are well out of my league. But there’s something for everyone
Thanks for the kind words, and yes you're right!
Great unit. Thank you for a well thought out explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video, cool camper, but as always 1800+lbs is heavier than, what, 95% of 1/2 tons trucks can carry? :-/

very well done and aside from the aircraft, this is a very good unit, albeit for a single camper. my Sweetheart would not travel in it!
Luckily the aircraft doesn't come with a purchase of the unit! haha
Your reviews are ALWAYS so good...!! 😷👣
Wow, what was Cirrus thinking?! The 670 was a way better layout.

An F150 with payload package would. Add overload springs, tranny cooler and stiffer truck tires.

Price?
Can i upgrade the cassete. The one seems kinda cheap and shitty
How much is the 620 for a half ton truck.
I really wish it had only one burner and a deeper wider sink. Otherwise, great camper.
This is perfect. I wonder if a Toyota Tacoma will be able to handle it.
3.8?
Will this fit a 5 ft bed like a short bed Toyota Tacoma?
It's way too heavy for a Tacoma so it won't matter if it fits.

Aluminum
How much?
It's probably going to be in the range of 32k, but will vary based on your options and dealer.
How much

Thank you!
Nice camper. The plane sounds like a crop duster.
I know! It was very annoying but it circled ALL DAY. :(
Why can't they remove the Dinette? I would rather have a nicer toilet and shower than a full dinette.
Lots of folks want the dinette, so I guess they are just trying to please everyone! They are pretty customizable if you are creative!
@@MandyLea this is true. Maybe replace the dinette with a bar& stool set up? This would take up less space.

I need to start building truck campers. MSRP is $38k to start.
BEST
Yes!
Privacy bathroom with a shower is a must for me otherwise it looks fantastic .😁
Totally get it!
How. Much for this beast? Looks great
They should make a model Cirrus Black.
So glad they deleted the tv and microwave from the standard features!
Agreed ;)
All those big round plastic caps they use to cover the fasteners in the cabinetry and wood trim make it look really cheap. I expect better from nuCamp. I thought they were trying to be a premium brand.
Those fasteners cover the real wood screws. Would you prefer they use glue and staples?
Oh boy.
Just buy a 3/4 ton pick up, an put the shower back in, like on the 720.
You lost me with the potty, who wants to crap right next to the dining room table.
If you want a tiny camper, there really isn't another option. You could look at 5th wheels.
No storage tho
How come all salesmen/women never own/afford the product they sell 🤔
Does this fit on frontier with 5ft bed?
Price with air and mic
Ummm say they price maybe...
While the the gross weight of the camper is close to one ton, you have deemed it to be only 1/2 ton. Is this the new liars math.
Good report but no shower and the toilet placement sucks , good job
i wish they kept the bathroom not sold on it shame
It is a bummer, but they had to do it for weight.
I guess it is a nice enough camper. Couldn't believe the price they are though. Looks like double the price of a Palomino popup. Couldnt see anything there to justify that price difference.
I have a 2020 Palomino750, I’m trading it in for this 620........hands down a much better built, better finish, better heating system, way more storage, a true 4 season camper........expensive yes , way better camper than the Palomino
