Thanks everyone for all the great tips for keeping dust out! Hopefully anyone looking for an answer to this problem can glean some information from you guys. We'd also like to mention after talking with the FWC team that they are planning to release a modular system to customize and build out Project Ms in the future. The goal for that is some time in 2022. While that date is pretty far off and vague it's exciting to know that they are planning expansions to this platform.

Looks like a very nice system. The dust problem is primarily a truck bed problem. There are many seams, additional holes etc. We resolved the issue first by installing a rubber seal around the tailgate then caulking the seams in the bottom, taping over the additional holes and the gap under the lip. We also sealed the joint between the cap we used and the truck bed with a strip of Butyl Rubber. After two weeks on dirt roads no dust in the back. A real game changer

The project M looks like a great option. I really like the fact that it minimizes weight as much as possible while still giving a place to sleep. Also, you are such a great spokesperson for them. I can understand why they chose you and Owen to review it. Most importantly, you keep it real. It is easy to tell when someone is trying to sugar coat something, and I don’t trust that. Good review!!

Thanks so much for the review. I’ve been following Four Wheel Camper’s progress on the Model M for awhile and am really excited with what they’ve done and the direction they’re taking this. I’m 71 and have a 2019 Fleet with most of the “bells & whistles” that are offered and absolutely love it- a retiree’s dream! BUT if I were 25 the Model M would be a dream come true to begin an overlanding adventure. ( forwarded your review to my 33 yr old nephew in Edwards, CO) You and Owen have been defining the spirit of “overlanding”- thank you! Don’t stop!!

This is great walk through and makes me want a Project M, except for that dust! Our tip would be to use some of the ESI products that we used to keep our truck bed with cap clean and dust free. (Not associated with ESI in any way, just products that work!) ESI Ultimate tailgate seal comes with great instructions for various models to get the tailgate air tight. Then various types of ESI bed rail seals are available depending on cap weight and bulkhead gaps, even comes with some sort of putty to level off the larger/odd gaps often found at corners. Finally there's still some various small bed track bolt holes and plugs/caps that aren't sealed, plus nice gaps where the bed sides meet the front bulkhead in our Tundra. We filled those with some clear silicone which may need to be touched up over the years but for now our bed is a clean and dry sleeping area!

This answered a huge question for me, yay! We have a drawer system from Truck Vault and wondered if we could still utilize a 4WC Project M; I'm convinced we can after watching this video. Right now we have a '21 Tacoma Sport Long Bed with a SnugTop Hi-Liner cap; sleeping in it is so great but sitting or chilling is not possible. We have a full BedRug bed-liner in the bed and the same material lines the topper which helps with dust. I'm so stoked to ponder a Project M!!!

We had a similar dust problem when offroading with a tonneau top. The airflow with the top on would cause road dust to get sucked up into the bed. The solution I found was to put a used bicycle tube along the bottom of the tailgate before closing it. This kept the dust from getting sucked up into the bed from under the tailgate. Later, I found adhesive weather stripping you can buy for just this purpose. It might not keep out all dust, but it dramatically reduced the amount of dust getting pulled into the bed. Note that I cut the tube so that it was one long piece instead of a loop.

Truck with camper shell here, we put a Bedrug that extends over to the tailgate in one piece, and I put in a seal kit from Amazon to help seal the tailgate. The real trick is figuring out how to seal the junction of the tailgate, the camper shell side, and the camper shell back window. Still haven’t figured that one out.

We used some left over short strips of ESI ultimate tailgate seal in this area, about 4" long (about the thickness of the tailgate), stuck into that camper shell/bed side corner. When the tailgate closes it seals that pesky area up well.

Thanks for the review. Glad to see they've re-designed the rear door. We've had our "M" for 10 months and we love it. I've never had that amount of dust in ours as I sealed our tailgate and any large gaps before I headed out on any dirt roads. It's tough to keep all the dust out but I think I've cut about 95% of it. Thanks again!

I own the OVRLND camper (similar to project M, but more customizable and more affordable). The dust is a real issue. Experience has taught me that the tailgate is the major culprit. I now use foam to insulate the tailgate gaps. I bought a $20 exercise mat from Walmart and cut it into dust insulkation strips. It's better now, not perfect but much better.

Suggestion for a mod to improve longevity of those channel mounts on the outside: It looks like there is a bit of rotational force where your jerry cans are mounted, as the track is mounted in a single horizontal plane, and as you drive the dynamic force down then creates a rotational force. Notice how the top of the jerry can is farther away from the sidewall than the bottom. Since you have an unused section of channel track above the cans, you could distribute the simple downforce load AND the rotational load across both channels by running a metal strap between the channel tracks and then mount the jerry can center bolt to the metal strap just above the lower channel.

i think what a lot of people in the comment thread don't know/realize about this camper is the big benefit that was never mentioned is the weight. this starts at 352 lbs for a midsize truck. Something like a stock tacoma has pretty low weight limit (around 1K lbs if i remember correctly), so add in a couple people, a dog, some camp gear, water... and you are quickly at that limit. Just like anything, there is a way of camping for everyone :)

Thanks, I've only recently come upon your channel (been busy homesteading on our 50 acres)...a couple of suggestions I have made to 4 Wheel Campers is to have the option of European style RV windows, which are insulated and can be opened during rainstorms, etc. I would replace the AGM battery with an EcoFlow Duramax power station (so we could also use it here on our off grid homestead)...We've traveled all over North America for many decades, we're now 73 (me) and 67 (her), and have traveled in VW synchros, and even old split window VW Westies...we've traveled in two different very small motorhomes and even in the back of a 1980 Chevy Luv diesel (when diesel was 6 US cents per litre in Mexico)...I love our Toyota Tacoma and its abilities...so we may sell our tear drop and order one of these campers. Thanks for the review, I love your channel.

downside for me would be the dirt dust that is clearly visible inundating cloths, electronic and every nook and cranny. think I would go with a hawk or some other all enclosed living space camper with a few more creature comforts. plus I'd want to off load the camper, set it aside, so I could utilize the truck for everyday use as a normal truck would be for hauling stuff, running errands and not have to be burdened by lugging a camper here and there.

A ram air intake on the forward fan would positively pressurize the space to help keep dust from being sucked in by the negative pressure being formed behind the vehicle. removable Winter window silicone caulk would be a good solution for the gaps.

For the dust, go to a hardware store and buy weather stripping. I put it around my Tailgate and other places. Most weather stripping has an adhesive back. Another way to manage the dust is positive air pressure. If you can find a way to have an air filter over the ceiling fan, have the fan bring air in. If I remember correctly, I think Patriot Campers does this. It might be MITS Alloy....

I feel like if they sewed gasketed zippered bulkhead separating the bed area you could zip it up for storage and keep the dust out of the bed. Also if they had window designs more like a leer topper you could access the platforms and anything secured there from the outside. I am sure they will do a setup with a decked system at some point

Install a "Bed Rug". The cracks in the bed of a truck are there for a reason, for drainage. Installing a "Bed Rug" and sealing the tailgate should solve your problem with dust. As a bonus, you will have a very durable cushy carpet floor and good insulation. I would get the one that goes up to the bed rails to get the full benefit of the insulation factor. They usually run around $500 but are well worth it, especially for this application.

Mac and Owen!!! Thanks so much for this video!!! I’ve been going back and forth on purchasing either this or the FWC Shell slide in and your opinions have a lot of weight due to the amount of time you spend overlanding!!! The dust would kill me, but more than that, not having a screen door or being able to lock yourself from the inside moved me away from the topper and to the FWC shell. My only concern with the shell is can I take down those “boxes” in the shell and DYI my own shelving system and couch/dining area?? Can’t wait for the slide in video!! Thanks again!!!

When I had a pick up with a Leer cap on it... I used to lay down a foam tape on the gunnels of the bed before clamping the cap down. That seemed to keep most of the moisture or dust out of the bed. That is a cap not a camper but I would think they would work the same.

I was wondering about dust sealing and you answered my concern by shooting your video after two weeks of travel off pavement; exactly the same condition I experience under a simple cap. I was hoping Fourwheel had developed a solution, but of course their control of the problem stops where the camper mates to the truck bed. That joint needs to be water and dust tight. The tailgate is probably a significant dust leak. In another Project M review the owner added a tailgate gasket. I will be on the lookout for effective dust control solutions before committing to a Project M. I’d rather pitch a tent than camp in a dust bin.

Honestly I agree with you however we have spoken in depth with them about this and what it comes down to is the high cost of the materials they use. A lot of it is so heavily taxed that they have to ask what they do to afford the materials. As an owner, albeit of a completely different model, I can attest to the care that is taken in making these campers. As an owner they take care of their customers long after the camper is purchased and if you make it to an event they host you in their special camp area. But I hear you and I feel you as a person who still has a loan out on our camper. 😘

It is hard to keep the dust out. Maybe an air compressor to blow the dust out after you set up camp?

Thank you for this review on a blank canvas approach to a pop-up camper. But, I think it would be a step in the wrong direction for you two with living the in luxury with the rich and famous. I am however, looking forward to how you will be able to compromise. How about Flex Seal for those truck bed openings? Tailgates always have spaces but there are seals that are specifically designed to seal those. See you next time guys.

Dang dust! Not my idea btw, but... Fab a AIR TIGHT BOX that accepts a car air filter above (and outside) of the fan. On a dusty trail turn on the fan pulling air into the camper. The theory is to keep a positive air pressure in the camper, if the camper has positive air pressure then the dust won't migrate inside. I personally have not tried this but it sounds logical. My little wedge would require much more fabrication for something like this to work, a snorkel would be interesting. Keep it simple and use the same filter your truck uses. Like I said, haven't tried it myself so obviously no experience success or fail. Just thought I'd toss it out there.

This van conversion is awesome! Perfect for people who would love to live away from the city. We will surely share your videos with our customers who bought land from us and planning to live in this type of house. Thanks for sharing your story!

Isn’t not being able to lock up for the evening from inside a bit of a dealer breaker in terms of night time safety?

I have nothing but respect for Four Wheel Campers but I truly believe that dollar for dollar the Alu Cab Canopy Camper is a better choice for this style of camper. Better design, keeps dust out, you can secure yourself in it and much more durable off-road.

@@BoundForNowhere I have been running Alu Cab Canopy Camper on my 20 ZR2 Bison for almost a year now with no water or dust intrusion at all. The vendor I purchased it from in Denver did a great job to ensure it was installed correctly and sealed per the manufacturer specs. The cam lock side hinge access door seals very tightly. I have used in in every condition imaginable and just got back from a 2600 mile trip through the Southwest on many dusty BLM roads and one Late March haboob outside of Page UT with no noticeable traces of dust inside. I'd be happy to show you my setup for comparison value when you get back into Colorado.

Thanks for the review. I was thinking same thing when I was looking into Project M - those two platform tables on either side of the interior would be very limiting if I decide to build out inside.

Yeah at the end of the day I think it all depends on what you plan to do with it. In it's less built out form I honestly thought it was really nice to have those platforms but for a full build, yeah, I think they'd be in the way

I wish. We aren't ready to add another furry member to the family and I think it will be a while for us. We have some upcoming (international plans) that wouldn't be super conducive with adding another cat until we flush out those details. It also just still feels so fresh for us. :(
