    Something new and unique, light weight and with some advantages over others. Built for a 6' bed.

    The Bivy is for the minimalist. Someone who is looking for a super low profile camper shell but still wants to be able to stand and stretch while waiting out some nasty weather. With optional, modular sleeping platforms (on some models) you can sleep high in the pop-top or low in the truck bed. Save on those MPGs, get around your dumb HOA rules, or fit it in the garage. The Bivy isn't for everyone, but it might be for you!

    I like the idea a lot, but I'd be more into it if it was flush with the roof line. Might just barely make it into the garage at work, but it's about 4-5 inches too tall to fit under my carport, unfortunately. I may have to hit them up for some measurements, though, because this looks to be the closest thing out there to what I'm looking for.

    What I'm really looking for is cab height, the upper rear of the shell end extended out a bit, enough room to store bedding on the sleeping platform, and in a steep/tall trapezoidal wedge with an option for exterior entry via ladder. Basically what I have now, but as an enclosed camper instead of an RTT and tonneau.

    I believe they can customize that top to a different spec for you.. I'd call them.

    I like it too, especially for a 6' bed, solo travel and ultra light. Better than my Leer 180.

    could try gaia toppers if you want a little diy with fabric and a ladder.

    they do a 6ft model but doesn't have pics of the top opening.

    To me the camper when it's closed looks like someone loaded a reefer on a tacoma.
