Oru Designs - Bruin Hardwall Camper Walkthrough

[@jacktyler7599]

Very well done...and helpful. Goes on the 'finalist list'. Thank you, Michael.

[@butchgreene]

One of these was magically to appear in Asheville, I’d love to see how much room that leaves to stand instead my 5’ bed Tacoma

[@workfromhouse]

Damn it, thats a good review. came off as honest and casual.

[@orudesignsusa]

@@workfromhouse thank you 🙏

[@BFree128]

Such a GREAT camper! I cant wait till they make one that extends further over truck cab so you don't have to unfold/fold bed. Would be so perfect to have a twin or full size *just a few more feet over truck cab... that would leave so much more open standing space when standing in truck bed. Once that happens I'm placing my deposit for sure!

[@orudesignsusa]

We have a XL coming soon!

[@zackaryclarke3227]

I with you on needing to offer larger cab over bed area. I want to be able to sleep two up east/west without having to pull the bed out as to keep the truck bed completely open and usable and to be able to close the roof without having to pull the bed out. Once this happens I’m placing my order too.

[@bwbounds]

wow, great detail about beautiful camper, well done

[@jplimages]

Hey. How is it holding up with dust getting in when on the back roads?

[@davechavis4275]

@@jplimages no dust , the weather stripping and fit are clean. very waterproof and dust proof.

[@orudesignsusa]

@@jplimages if you seal up the tailgate pretty darn well. Thanks!

[@yoced1468]

That thing is so cool

[@fishwhistle9612]

The barn doors are a game changer. I can remove the doors and transport my fishing rods without space concerns as they can stick out past tailgate. Do you guys have roof racks that extend above the fan? So I could easily strap down a surfboard board bag for transport? I make the run from San Diego to my house in La Paz several times a year and usually bring quite a bit of gear back and forth.

[@billderinbaja3883]

I've admired Oru kayaks for years... haven't bought them for my wife and I... YET... but we will when we choose & buy our pop-up camper! It's a great surprise to see an Oru pop-up topper. You guys are brilliant engineers, and this video demonstrates all of your clever topper/pop-up solutions. Go Oru!

[@orudesignsusa]

Totally different company but thank you so much for the support!

[@orudesignsusa]

[@edwinragadio]

Wow, Amazing!

[@tristramstout8988]

You mentioned that the queen size mattress is a 4” thick memory foam tri-fold, correct? So, therefore when folded it would be 12” thick. I don’t know if you clarified this, but apparently when lowering the roof for travel, the bed would have to be deployed as in sleeping position, correct? Do the rear barn doors overlap the tailgate to keep rain out of truck? Can your roof rack crossbar system support canoes? If 4 crossbars are installed how much weight can be supported?

[@orudesignsusa]

Great questions! Yes you would need to have your bed and sleep platform deployed to close the tent. They have seals that overlap with the barn doors. Yes, we have many customers using them to support canoes. Each roof rack can support a 50lb point load. Thanks!

[@joannakillingsworth9524]

I like this a lot... So, on the interior for this build, am I seeing that I could access the interior of my truck through the backseat window?

[@orudesignsusa]

Yes if the camper cab window was down. Thanks!

[@zonacrs]

Do you offer a non cab-over design? The reason I ask is that my F150 has the Ford 360 degree camera system that I don't want to lose functionality on. As these camera systems become more main stream there may be a market opportunity here, honestly I think it's already there. The only other available option I am aware of is the Topper EZ lift system that uses soft walls and an optional vestibule over the tailgate. Setting that up would probably irritate me very quickly. Love the hard walls of this design but don't want or need the cab-over bed. I'm cool with a cot or self built platform over one of the wheel wells and the opposite side reserved for a power station, DC fridge and small table area for food prep/cooking while hunkering down. At base camp/boondocking I'd probably just use the bed to sleep in and spend most of my time outside under an awning or pop up for for cooking and chilling. Cool beans dude.

[@bobodonnell]

What are the dimensions of the 4 acrylic windows on the pop up?

[@tinaperez9756]

Very cool.

[@koloasurf2012]

I was wondering any reason how come mfg don't have the popup extend further to the front of the truck near the edge of the front windshield? Like the camper .

[@orudesignsusa]

We design the tents to be a standard size and compatible with whatever base we need for trucks from 4.5'-8' in order to keep lead times down and prices down so y'all can hit the road and enjoy the trip!

[@zackaryclarke3227]

@orudesigns could you guys make the cab over bed length longer so you can sleep two up while having the truck bed area completely open like on the project M and tune? That’s one of the main things keeping me away from the Oru right now. Other than that I’m loving your design!

[@mikedenton6485]

Can the roof handle a small ac unit?

[@orudesignsusa]

Yes, we would just need to upgrade the struts. Thanks!

[@kellypummell3734]

This looks like it might work to haul an atv in the bad with the shell on. You said the rear opening is 50” wide. What would the rear opening hight be (from bed rail), on a Bruin built for a 2020-24 GMC 2500? Thank you.

[@orudesignsusa]

@@kellypummell3734 it would be about 22’’ off of the bed rails. Thanks

[@peterpayne2219]

Really nice, what is the leadtime to get one of these made?

[@orudesignsusa]

Lead times are down to 4-6 weeks

[@chadgraber4575]

Some overland camper options go farther/deeper over the roof of the truck, allowing more room inside the camper even when the entire bed is pulled out. Do you offer variations of this, or just this one size of total length?

[@orudesignsusa]

@@chadgraber4575 all of our bruins and tenfolds are 9’ and our bruin XL is 10’. Thanks

[@jplimages]

How does it hold up,with getting dust in through the back and sides?

[@virginianolsoe9872]

This is very useful information for me. By any chance, do you have a store? I would like to go there if possible.. Thank you.

[@orudesignsusa]

@@virginianolsoe9872 hello, yes, we have a location in San Marcos, California, Bend, Oregon, and shortly we will have one in Flagstaff Arizona. Thanks!

[@patrickio8084]

Will this be on display at your Overland Expo booth in Colorado later in August? R value of the shell Insulation? I'm 34" tall when sitting. So it sounded like you said there's 30" from mattress to ceiling.....therefore, I can't sit fully upright on top of the mattress?

[@orudesignsusa]

@@patrickio8084 yes it will thanks! You will not. Thanks

[@packratdavis1585]

Are you going to make one to fit the Hyundai Santa Cruz?

[@orudesignsusa]

@@packratdavis1585 question! No, we are not. Thanks!

[@detecttheblueprint]

When the bruin is collapsed for transport, what is the overall height of the camper from the top of the bed to the top of the closed bruin? Curious to see if it will fit in my garage while on my truck. Any solar options or lighting options? Thanks

[@orudesignsusa]

Great question! For most trucks it sits 34.25" from the bed rails and if you want a fan it adds 5.5". Thanks!

[@user-ml8dm9fz6l]

security on side windows?

[@orudesignsusa]

We can add gear panels over them, thanks!

[@vlee99]

Nice. Got mine. Who fly fishes?

[@jayboegs6268]

Works for 4 foot bed? Like a 4.5 foot Ford Maverick?
