Denver’s Tune Outdoor has unveiled its innovative entry to the growing lightweight truck camper market, the Tune M1.
The Tune M1 pop-up canopy truck topper blends design innovation, simplicity, and a streamlined production process that delivers an industry-best weight-to-space ratio, exceptional performance, and a stylish, modern aesthetic. Targeting the burgeoning vehicle-based adventure and active outdoor community, the Tune M1 represents a leap forward in design and utility for this category.
Employing durable, lightweight materials, Tune engineers developed an intuitive design that puts the Tune M1’s base model weight starting at only 360 lbs. It also features a patented wing wall design with flared sidewalls and a fully vertical pop-top, providing more cubic living space than other lightweight truck campers on the market.
This weight-to-space ratio broadens the Tune M1’s utility across a range of outdoor and offroad conditions, making it an ideal solution for comfortable camping outdoors, whether you’re fishing, surfing, climbing, kayaking, biking, snowmobiling, hunting, and more.
“We designed a canopy truck topper that hits the sweet spot of lightweight, functionality, and feel, allowing you to access your favorite backcountry places with enough space to bring your toys and gear and still camp comfortably,” said company president Sean Kepler, who has held executive leadership positions at The North Face, VF Outdoor, Reef, and Crocs. Tune’s team of outdoor industry veterans and engineers spent more than two years perfecting Tune’s design and production process.
Tune’s structure incorporates an aluminum frame, injected ultra-strong composite corner brackets, a clean polyester pop-top canopy extension, and easy-to-fit, FRP honeycomb paneling. Each camper comes with three aluminum or glass awning doors that allow for easy access from any angle, low-power interior halo lighting, and over 440 feet of universal T-track on the interior, exterior, and roof for unlimited customization.
A large sleeping loft allows users to sleep sideways while maintaining 6’4’’ to 6’10” of stand-up headroom (depending on truck model). The bed and living area can be enjoyed simultaneously, opening the entire cabin to camp living – from hanging out and cooking, to toy hauling and remote working.
Tune innovated a patent-pending industrial design solution that allows the Tune M1 to assemble quickly and easily, translating to fast installation lead times and efficient after-market service.
The Tune M1 camper integrates with nearly any pickup chassis — from Toyota Tacomas to the Ford Lightning — providing performance and comfort without extensive modifications.
The M1 is sold direct to consumers at www.tuneoutdoor.com, with a base model price of $12,999. Tune is offering an introductory price of $10,999 for a limited time.
