The Wildernest is the first topper I've come across that clearly has a model that will fit the '87 comanche long-bed. That's as far as i've gotten.
So - if anyone would mind helping me get started - this is the first truck I've tried to accessorize, although it's not exactly a luxury under my current situation.
Where should i start? measurements? does anyone else out there have the same model comanche who knows which Wildernest i should be looking at (model # or measurements, model name, whatever) if I were to go this route? what are my feature options? e.g. bed, stove, etc.?
I am currently in Flagstaff, AZ but don't have to remain here.
I love the idea of stealth camping in my truck. This topper looks like it won't stick out urban or rural, at least while closed. Right now I'm looking at camping out in BLM dispersed camping areas but I'd prefer more flexibility (and security, especially for stowing my extra gear).
any suggestions, advice, feedback? Yes, i've searched the forums... i've been combing the internet for months as well. I've found a lot of hardtops but nobody seems to know if they'll fit my machine and I don't really know how to determine it either.
i believe the top load (including me, fluids, and gear as well as topper) for this truck is 1400lbs.
your help is much appreciated. comancheclub.com will be next but i discovered this forum and thought i would ask.
best, Ophelia
