10 Reasons We Chose This Truck Camper! \\ NuCamp Cirrus Truck Camper

You can't overdo this subject in my opinion, I appreciate every bit of it! You're so honest and credible on it also. Thanks, be well!

[@Stonyboot]

Thank you so much for watching our videos!

[@waynedyer3475]

Thank you. I learned something today. Your heating system made me choose the camper. Currently use converted and use a school bus.

[@kirstenstrobel4387]

You two are great ambassadors, not only for the Cirrus camper but also for the other items you review. I really appreciate how thorough you are in your explanations and your detail. ~ Kir and Ron in Tennessee

[@Stonyboot]

Thank you for the kind comment! We are slowly learning how to do KZbin! Thanks for following along!

[@outdoorenthusiasts3175]

We too did many months of research and ended up choosing the Cirrus 820 for our Ram 2500. We went from a 36 ft travel trailer to our truck camper and glad we did. Best of luck on your travels!

[@Stonyboot]

It’s nice to hear that you like it. They are awesome little homes on wheels. Do you enjoy the ease of getting around compared to having a long trailer?

[@outdoorenthusiasts3175]

@@Stonyboot we like it much better. We have been in places we couldn't go with our trailer. We are going to Yellowstone in August for two weeks.

[@Stonyboot]

Same experience here. Less space, but way more adventurous than a trailer. Yellowstone is high on our list, hopefully this year!

[@davidschonhardt4958]

Thank you so much! I hate the sound of rv heaters. No one seems to address this. You folks are the BEST! Thank you!

[@Stonyboot]

After a few years listening to them, I was excited to find a silent option. I know that Truma systems are showing up more frequently in the US and I hope it continues. I also see some movement with Alde in the US, I wish it was an option for every RV!

[@abennett]

For 1 person, would the 620 be enough space?

[@Stonyboot]

We don’t have personal experience, but we have been in them. I would say it’s fine for a single person. But they don’t have a shower and have a somewhat limited toilet. I would always suggest taking a look at the camper and spending some time in it before you consider buying it.

[@conniefox8044]

OMG, this truck camper's the best one I've seen. Amazing referig, windows (I hope they have screens!?), pantry, storage and the heater!!

[@Stonyboot]

I checked with the President if Kingstar, the camper does indeed have screens. And I agree, I love the features, the layout and the fridge. They put a lot of thought into the design and how to improve on things. I think Kingstar will be a company to watch!

[@mixflip]

I think you sold me on the cirrus. Now I just need a dually truck!

[@Stonyboot]

Yay! 😅 What do you want to get?

[@ThiHuynh]

@@Stonyboot is there any dually with a rear diff locker?

[@largol33t1]

Makes me wish we could get the Land Rover pickups sold in Australia only. They're kinda like flatbeds and you can get 2 or 4 doors. The only downside is they come with a turbodiesel 5 cylinder instead of a Rover V8. Land Rover revived the Defender and put it back into production so maybe that could be a possibility. I wish they would offer a pickup configuration as an option.

[@SLICKW1993]

@@ThiHuynh Most have limited slip. I’ve never needed a locker on my dually, it is pretty capable off-road.

[@Stonyboot]

Not that I’ve ever seen from the factory. I’m sure you can get a locker after market.

[@renaissancepoet]

I think Cirrus builds the best looking truck campers, inside and out. And I also like the Alde system, and the stargazer window is my favorite item. I hope it doesn't leak over time. I also just wish Cirrus would build their campers like Northern Lite and Bigfoot truck campers. Their two piece fiberglass molds are superior to the way all other truck campers are built. And lastly, I wish Cirrus had more solar, more lithium battery options, an inverter, and a more powerful pre-wired way to charge their camper batteries off of the trucks second alternator. A quieter generator would be nice, too. Other than those improvements, I love the Cirrus!

[@Stonyboot]

I agree with your comments. A clam shell Cirrus with all the power/solar/lithium options ready to go would be fantastic. I just wonder what it would cost?!

[@cleverock1]

This is one of the best produced videos I have seen, not to long, very well communicated, everything you talked about was pertinent no worthless small talk. I have been thinking about a small trailer, or class B. Class B’s are now over priced, a small trailer grand design imagine 17MKE for example. After watching your video I am seriously considering a truck camper either the Cirrus you have or a small Lance, thank you for what you do.

Although it isn't necessarily common knowledge, there are independent mattress makers around the country. We have one in KC area and they can make a mattress to any size or spec and prices are no higher than buying from a traditional mattress store. In fact, at the KC area company, they will show you the production floor and you can see exactly what materials are used.

My preference for a truck camper is huge huge huge. The bigger the better🤣 But I have to admit in reality I will likely purchase one very similar to yours for all the reasons mentioned in the video... Especially the hydronic heating 😍 Nice video guys!

[@Stonyboot]

I hear you on the space. I wish i could have 10 slides for space. But, I chose this camper for those reasons. I'm hoping NuCamp comes out with a 920 Slide model, but I have no idea if that will ever happen. And we LOVE our Alde, we talk about it like a pet sometimes.

Hey Scott and Sasha! I love your setup. You obviously have put a lot of thought into it and I love the way you are using it! I was curious about the front carrier on your truck? Can you offer some input on what it is and how it is attached? Any likes, dislikes? Sorry if I missed a more in depth description along the way. Safe travels!!!

[@Stonyboot]

We have a Draw-Tite 65063 Front Mount Receiver Hitch. It mounts in a hidden fashion and has been great. It was a little challenging to install on our truck due to limited space to put my hands. The front carrier is just an old steel rack i found on craigslist years ago. We mostly use it for wood and misc stuff. I never did cover it in a video, but I could probably go over it quickly someday. I'll add it to my list of videos to make! Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment! Let me know if I didn't answer your question fully.

[@paulhudson8321]

Great video. It pays to research what you’re buying and especially something you’re going to be living in. Looks like it suits your needs. In my case the truck I bought was being sold as a package deal including a camper. A Lance 992 with 2 slide outs. But the type of camping we are planning on doing it will suit us. The extra room with the slide outs is nice although the camper is heavy. 4500 lbs. I did some research on different brands and liked the northern lite made in Canada. But it has no slide outs. After having the slide outs I kind of like them. I was curious about your hot water heating system so I’m glad you covered that. I’ve got a lot to learn we only got the camper last year and only had it out twice before winter. I enjoy watching your travels. There’s some beautiful country side in the USA. Safe travels.

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for watching and commenting! It sounds like you got a great package deal! I looked and looked when we were buying and never found anything that worked for us. There are many days we wish we had slides, we would love some extra space. However, there are also many days we are happy to have a simpler setup. It's all about trade-offs. I agree that Northern Lite is really high quality and I love the clam shell design. When I compared features, size and price, it just didn't tick all the boxes. If I had a magic wand, I'd make the perfect camper for myself!

[@cirrus820travelers9]

Really enjoy viewing your videos. Plenty of great content. No time to binge watch all of them - yet. Soon! We take ours off truck every chance when staying 4 days or more & lower to ground storing bike rack & ladder underneath. There's a small 'shelf' above door where we keep our spices held in place with a spring curtain rod - similar to what we use in refrigerator. Both work well. Love skylight to stargaze! Did watch a wind gust blow from no where and snap it off! Oops. Beware. Nu-camp sent us replacement to Denver dealer. ($500!) On to next video......

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for watching. We do the same thing with our bike rack and accessories, right under the camper! As for the window, I have heard that many times, we don’t leave it open unsupervised. We tend to use the side windows more often just for that reason. But we sure do love looking through it!

[@Stonyboot]

Palominos are nice! We didn't have anyone selling them where we used to live, so we couldn't look at them. And yeah, the esthetics piece was important to us when we were choosing Cirrus. We wanted to make sure we liked our new home!

[@Ober447]

@@Stonyboot -A Palomino wouldn't hold up for full time camping the way some other brands are deigned to do. I says in the warranty agreement that full time camping voids the coverage. I've also had to be a bit of a handyman over the couple of years we have owned it fixing things. A Lagun table was also a neccessary upgrade to replace the rickety table that came with it.

[@Stonyboot]

I plan on doing a full review of the camper when we get to the 2 year mark. I hope it holds up as well as my research indicated, but only time will tell! I do like some of the Palominos, it's a shame about the warranty.

Is it alright to ask how much the Cirrus 920 cost? We bought our new 2020 truck camper for under $13000. The Cirrus 920 certainly has a lot of features that our truck camper does not have. Great info!

What truck are you using? Long bed short bed? Could you get away with something smaller? Have you considered putting a receiver on your front bumper for your bike rack?

[@Stonyboot]

It’s a 2018 RAM 3500, Crew cab, dually, 8 foot bed. For our rig and eight, a dually was necessary. Also, our camper(Cirrus 920) is designed for a 8 foot bed. The Cirrus 820 is designed for a 6.5 foot bed and is a little lighter. You could possibly get away with a smaller truck.

[@ToadMan9000]

@@Stonyboot you guys got a great set up! Looking to full time my self hopefully within the next year, alone. So I'm considering a smaller set up. Been hung up on a f350 single wheel short bed. With a northernlite 811. You never answered that last question about your bike rack? Would it sit to high to see over?

[@Stonyboot]

If you’re going solo and don’t plan of being a bunch of equipment and toys, a SRW f350 is perfect. And Northern Lite campers are amazing! Sounds like you’ve done your homework 😁 As for the bike rack I just missed the question. We could do it without the bike cover, I think I’d be able to see fine. Driving at night might be an issue. However, I could adjust all of that with a drop or raised hitch.

1 ton minimum. For the 920, I’d suggest a modern dually, and at least a 3500 or 350 for the 820. The camper alone is ok, but once you add yourself, stuff, water, and other travel items, the weight adds up quickly!

A couple question: #1. Will your Honda generator run everything turned on at once? #2. Do you remove the generator from storage bay when you run it, like maybe on a hot night when you need the air conditioner on, so it quiet in the camper? #3. Is there any power in the bed space near the pillow side of the bed? My wife uses a cPap machine and we need power up there!

[@Stonyboot]

I'll answer using the same numbers: #1. No, it will run one major appliance at a time, A/C or Microwave or Hair Dryer. 2000 watts is pretty much the limit. #2. Yes, we remove it and run it on our front rack when we need to run it for long periods. If you scroll through our other videos, I have done a couple videos relating to how we use it. #3. There is a 120v outlet at the head of the bed.

CIRRUS was my favorite truck camper until, I heard about the two mold fiberglass campers --- like "Northern Lite" and "Bigfoot". The eventual leaking at the seals of the roof, scared me from all other truck campers...

I agree that the fiberglass clam shell campers are wonderful! They still have some roof penetrations to be aware of and windows can still leak. Keep an eye on all of that and they will last for decades!

[@journeysbegun]

Another great vid! I am slowly getting convinced that the NuCamp is what I would like. Love, love, love that stargazer window. I'm not sure any other campers have it. If you don't mind my asking - what is your truck payload capacity, and what is the general weight of your camper when loaded? It's a question that bugs me a lot, as I do want to get the right truck and camper matched. And those shots of the scenery are precisely why I want to get out into the wild! Keep the vids coming guys! Thanks!

[@Stonyboot]

Great questions. Our GVWR is 14,000 lbs and we are at 13900-14100 depending on how much water we carry. We can go lighter if we need to. As Truck Camper Magazine outlines in their excellent articles, you do want to match your truck/camper properly. Our truck has a payload capacity of about 5,000 lbs, (5,250 I think). We use all of that. Keep in mind, we have the bikes, bike rack, and lots of equipment. We have our whole life in here. The Cirrus campers are a little heavier than some of the similar campers. Much of that weight (I think) comes from the wood cabinets and and overall building materials. We bought the biggest, heaviest payload truck we could so we wouldn't have a payload issue in the future. We also love having a dually! If we had time, we could have ordered a dually truck with a gas engine and that would have afforded us some additional payload capacity. Same with having a Crew Cab truck, that adds a lot of weight. Always check the GVWR listed on the truck. Let me know if you have other questions, its a big topic and hard to fully explain in a comment. TCM has great resources on their site for matching trucks/campers.

[@journeysbegun]

@@Stonyboot Thanks a bunch for the reply, and sorry for taking so long to respond. We've been going through quite a weather trip here in Houston of late as you might have heard. Yes, this is a topic that needs it's own website I think, and you're right, TCM is a great place for such knowledge. I have recently signed on and am trying to catch up on truck camper news and happenings. It seems like y'all made a great choice with the dually! You would need it for that camper alright. I know I won't be carrying heavy toys (no bike plans yet, and definitely no ski/boat equipment, and nothing towed). Besides, I'm not one who tends to overpack. For these reasons, I have been considering a RAM 2500 (4010 lb. payload 6.4L HEMI V8) and favoring the NuCamp 720 and maybe even the 820 models. The heavier 2021 Cirrus 820 weighs 3253 lbs (wet, with batteries included). This looks like a pretty good combo to me. I don't plan to live in it full time (let me add, 'yet'!) The dually of course, has that solid structure appeal, and I'm sure that's why you guys like it. (Any other reasons why you like your dually?) I hadn't even considered the additional weight of the crew cab, always thinking that it would be a storage area when only 2 travelled, but you're right, I might not need it. There's so much to consider, and once again I am thankful for folks like you who make this info readily available. Keep those vids coming! Happy trails!

Thank you! We will keep at it😊

[@nathanurick8320]

I have a 40’ fith wheel that I love but I also love the truck campers and see what a great purpose they offer but I couldn’t handle the fresh water tank size.I don’t know how you do it.

[@Stonyboot]

Our goal has always been to go off the beaten path, and we sacrificed space choosing a truck camper. And we just got used to using less water, so it's not that big of a deal to us anymore :)

[@colleenheither9532]

What kind of tie downs do u have

[@Stonyboot]

We use Torklift Tiedowns and Fast Guns.

[@DOUGLASLASH-xy4ct]

enjoyed this!

[@Stonyboot]

We’re glad you did! Thanks for watching.

[@mattsmith9270]

Why did you not want to use the factory generator?

[@Stonyboot]

It was a $4k option, it's not easily removable, only runs on propane and is much louder than a Honda. It would be quick and easy to use, but our usage isn't typical. At this point, I haven't used it since we did our alternator charging system. I'd like to get rid of it at some point soon.

[@gordon3988]

Great video! Comprehensive and very well done! Curious what your battery system is? We are not a fan of generators, they tend to ruin the peace and quiet for everyone, but the Honda is one of the quietest. In our RV we have 300 amps of lithium batteries and can run everything for several days (likely even more if somewhere you can top up with solar). Does this model come with lithium? Last, are you in anyway sponsored by Cirrus? Just helps to know.

[@Stonyboot]

Hi, thanks for watching. The battery system is a custom design and I’ll have more information about it coming soon. When we don’t use the laptops our batteries last for weeks. However, we now use the microwave, hair dryer and AC more often when power permits. It’s been really nice having the extra juice. No sponsorship with Cirrus/NuCamp. If we were, we would make that very clear in the beginning of the video. Keep in mind, this video was purely about the reasons we purchased this camper, it’s not a full review of how it’s held up or any of the pros/cons. We plan on doing a 2 year review and going over some details of the repairs and problems we have had (very few). We also want to make a video about the research process. But I have about 8 videos in the pipe like to complete before we start on that.

[@gordon3988]

@@Stonyboot thank you and look forward to the videos!

[@travelingwithjoe216]

Great rundown, thank you for sharing

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks! We're glad it was helpful!

[@darkhorse2reign]

wow... I was stuck on the Lance 975 or 10 series. The hydronic heating just sold me. I was also stuck on whether or not I wanted a slide. You convinced me otherwise...maybe. :-)

[@Stonyboot]

Just our opinions. We have our own wants and needs, we love the Alde system and haven't found another camper that even comes close for what we want.

[@blessedveteran]

How much solar can you put on and how many batteries do you have room for?

[@Stonyboot]

I can get about 600 watts on the roof, maybe 700-800 with newer flexible panels. As for the batteries, I have them under the dinette in the factory location. However, I’ve made lots of changes. Right now I have 2 lithium batteries with a total of 600 AH of capacity. I also have an upgrade coming soon.

[@neilvsalmon6105]

Is the Cirrus a true four season camper in terms of protecting the tanks , pipes and wondering about the insulation for retaining heat especially in the winter ? It is one of the camper brands on my list , how does it compare to other brands for year around use , all four seasons ? By the way , great videos !

[@Stonyboot]

It is a 4 season camper. Fully enclosed and heated. If your primary use will be winter camping, a camper like Northern Lite or Bigfoot might be a better option. If you plan on mostly warm weather camping with the occasional winter trip, a cirrus works well. Since it’s aluminum framed, you will have more condensation than a fiberglass or wooden camper. Another great option, with a Truma heating system is Kingstar. They have excellent build quality and insulation.

[@blessedveteran]

Is the fridge 3 way?

[@Stonyboot]

Yes sir, I use all 3 ways too :)

[@darkhorse2reign]

Can you get into this with the slides closed? For stealth camping.

[@Stonyboot]

This camper doesn't have any slides. It was one of the reasons we chose it!

[@daemocd]

Nice vid!! I got curious about what kind of laptop holder you showed on the video?

[@Stonyboot]

We use two different laptop holders, both of which have been excellent. These two links are what we use: amzn.to/3a107qs amzn.to/3cU8LZG Take a look and let me know what you think 😁

[@daemocd]

@@Stonyboot Thanks for the reply!

[@nickmasters1636]

Very nice rig and great job describing it. A lot of folks would not be able to handle the cost of that truck and the camper combined. I suppose if it were your home on wheels the cost, at least for you guys, is justified. Thanks for making such a great video. I will subscribe to your channel.

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for the great comment, and welcome :) It was a tough pill to swallow, but it's been worth it so far!

[@moromot]

We're you guys in NM or AZ when you shot the video? Just curious

[@Stonyboot]

This was in New Mexico!

[@dixinormous8539]

Great video, please consider doing a video on your choice of vehicle

[@Stonyboot]

That’s a great idea. We might do a video about how we chose everything and all of the factors we considered. Stay tuned.

[@dixinormous8539]

@@Stonyboot Love it!

[@stevest.martin3940]

I’m going to subscribe because I’m someday going to downgrade from my Tiffin and I can see a truck-camper as a good option. I know Lance but your brand might work also.

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@hddm3]

Did you check out king star by chance?

[@Stonyboot]

Yes, but only recently. We did a full tour with Marcus from Kingstar. Look through Our videos and you’ll see the Kingstar video :)

Thanks for watching!

[@laurencek.1580]

Nu camp stopped making the 920 series? Are there big differences with the 820?

[@Stonyboot]

There are other videos out there that compare them, but the 920 is longer and has more storage, and also has a generator compartment. There is talk that they will make another 920 in a year or two… maybe

[@SuperDesignguy]

What is your average MPG in this setup? Very nice!

[@Stonyboot]

Fully loaded about 10-13 depending on terrain, wind, speed, air temps, etc.

[@lilymurray5001]

PLEASE TELL ME THE MAKE, MODEL, SIZE, PAYLOAD, BED LENGTH, AND OTHER SPECS OF THE TRUCK YOU ARE USING FOR THIS CAMPER. I SO ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU. LILY

[@Stonyboot]

It’s a 2018 Ram 3500 Dually diesel crew cab. Has a 14,000 lb GVWR, which gives it just under 5000 lbs if payload.

[@m2kolev]

Nice topic!

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks!

[@johnarthura]

How do you keep your camper safe when you detach and leave it? I heard of those that got stolen.

[@Stonyboot]

While it is possible, we have never heard of anyone we know having an issue. Also, we have only ever taken the camper off at campgrounds, never on public land.

[@Henry-gb8cl]

Do you guys go off road and if so, does the truck have or need 4 x 4 ?

[@Stonyboot]

We do light off road driving. Forest roads, desert trails, etc. Nothing extreme, but just what is needed to get to some remote locations. For me 4x4 is a must with any truck. Some people use 2x4 trucks for highway driving and campground camping. I have needed to use 4x4 on many occasions. Additionally, I’ve used 4 low to allow me to creep down rocky and rutted roads at a comfortable snails pace. 4 low is also great for giving you control while climbing on top of leveling blocks cover curbs if you get into a pinch and descending steep hills. I’m from NH and snow is in my blood. So, having 4x4 is a requirement for any truck I buy. However, you can get away without it if you keep your travels simple and don’t venture anywhere you shouldn’t.

[@Henry-gb8cl]

@@Stonyboot Thank you for the reply.

[@Robinaa26]

Can you please tell us how much this camper costs? Thank you so much for making these videos!

[@Stonyboot]

We got the camper for $32k and the truck for $62k. Plus about 5k in upgrades.

[@brianslatterbeck2145]

Is a 3/4 ton 4×4 heavy duty enough for this camper

[@Stonyboot]

It would depends on your payload capacity. It might work, but chances are, you will be over weight if you pack much in there. If you are just doing weekend camping from a home base, you'll probably be fine. Check your weight ratings, and then check them again!
