But they are NOT showing any availability for the F150???
Nor is it for sale in NORTH or SOUTH AMERICA???
Did you get your hands on a pre-production test unit???

OK, maybe I spoke to soon.
Just downloaded the catalog and sure enough, they have F150 varient.
GOOD LORD this cap is freaking FABULOUS!!
LOVE the options components that can be added/installed.

For those who have been following, the new front flange will be here on Monday

it looks a hair short, but they swear it’s supposed to be like that

if this is intended for South African / Australian Off-Road Camping, then you want that extra space for body flex!

How much do these weigh? Can’t find it listed anywhere and being stainless steel, I suspect it could affect your payload if pulling a camper and have a family of 5.

I think I remember seeing 200 lbs written somewhere. I’ll see what I can find

Here is the final product. This is a much better fit

Very impressive camper shell. Fairly certain it is what I’m going to add to my truck. Talked to a local retailer and they reached out to RSI regarding availability for 2021 F150s. RSI said they are working on the design and should be shipping later this summer. @Tireman - since they got you sorted, any tips for accelerating availability/delivery? ?

Does the bed camera still work? Or can it see through the cutout at the front of the cap?

it doesn’t work very well

Why the final fits better than first pictures? Does auto open and close tailgate still works? Thanks

 

[BuoyBoy]

I’m also curious to hear if the auto open and close feature of the tailgate still works with the RSi cap closed.

Keen to know if there has been any progress in RSi developing and shipping the Smartcap for the 2021 since mid April any updates are greatly appreciated
