    It’s amazing that someone had the time to put together this realistic looking website just for a prank.

    I can imagine how floppy that would be at highway speeds........

    On the other hand. It could be filled with He to make the truck lighter.

    Or H2 to make camping by the fire exciting.

    Well, if you can fill it with water, that would be a plus. You could have a shower and drinking water.

    Inflatable paddleboards and inflatable [boat] dinghies are pretty damn stiff.

    Filled with water.....it'll become an ice sculpture in a couple weeks.

    Might be a little on the heavy side, but it'll aid in traction.

    Cool to see this creative product line. I would like to know how they've designed around long term UV deterioration or over-pressurization in the summer heat.

    I could see using it as a truck tent once youre at your destination, but not driving at any sort of speed with it on

    True.
    Although, I have doubts if this has a similar structure as paddle boards or dinghies. Also, not many of those are subjected to 70 mph winds.

    Couldn't you flip a rectangular inflatable pool upside down and have the same thing?

    Inflatable paddleboards have seen 70+ mph strapped to the top of the Taco ;) and I lost an 11' dinghy off the top of an old cabin cruiser while getting pummeled in icy waters once (and it looked pretty healthy as I waved goodbye to $1200 :().

    I think the truck shell product is going to work for a very niche [small] purpose. A soft topper will be stronger, cheaper, last longer and still stowable.

    Now if these guys work on an update to the 1972 Goodyear Inflatoplane they may have my attention. :plane:

    The feature everyone has said was missing from their truck topper. If only I could strap this thing to my back.
