Just saw the YouTube video. Looks pretty dang streamlined.
Anyone have any idea what the price point would be ?

I was told around 3500
Thats an obscenely high price, regardless of R&D. Ill stick with an external
It looks like a great solution and I was looking forward to swapping out my current heater setup out for this one, but I can’t justify that price point when considering the other options out there.
Thats the price due to going with one of the most expensive heaters on the market and premium parts. Is it arguably top 2 heaters available due to quality and service? yes absolutely.
Still at $3500 for the heater, the cubby, the fuel tank, and install/wiring that puts it as very much a luxury item.
Hoping they sell the cubby by itself.
Seems pretty well executed. I went with this same Erberspacher heater in my setup, installing through my truckbed and tapping into my diesel fuel tank. I’m into it for about $1500 including a mounting plate and fuel standpipe, and of course the 5” hole saw to cut a hole in my bed
. Extremely happy with performance of the heater though, it saved me and my kids getting stuck out at the ski resort last weekend, nice and warm all night. I’m looking forward to a possible small floor panel kit.

What are your thoughts with the Decked system? I have a 5.5’ Tundra and am heavily considering it to pair with my V2 Max. I camp with my wife and 2yo daughter (with another on the way). I was thinking it’d be a good way to add a cot/mattress down below for her. Do you find it restrictive to get in/out with? What do you typically keep in your drawers vs on top? I am running a BougeRV fridge + Bluetti Elite 100v2 so I’d need to build a little spot for them up top. I also use my truck for hauling wood/plywood, and for hunting.
I don’t love the Decked system, but it overall fits my needs very well. Namely it does provide a nice sleeping area and I like the security of the system. It’s still usable for truck stuff. Keep in mind I have an 8’ bed, and so there is a ~1.5’ gap between the front cab-side of my bed and the Decked drawers. My ARB fridge fits great in there, and next to it I can place bins or other items such as a propane tank, water jug, etc. without taking up space directly above the drawers. This works out well for me and I actually prefer it over having a continuous deck covering the entire truck bed. Also, I really like the GMC multipro tailgate for getting in/out of the truck and how you can shorten the reach into the truck when loading/unloading items.
I run a Hest Dually mattress downstairs for bunk sleeping or really crappy weather (kind of wish I went with two Foamy pads instead for flexibility of using a single mattress when needed for gear space). The Decked system works well for this and there is adequate headroom below in my truck. Again, I have a 1-ton truck so a fairly deep bed, but I suspect with a Tundra headroom is probably acceptable also.
One drawer is pretty much always full with camping gear including stove and my camp kitchen setup, plus some misc gear. I hang bedding including a down quilt and pillows in the floor square gear nets. This leaves the other drawer empty for location/activity specific items. When hunting the only items I might have on top are large coolers for meat storage, water storage, Howl stove, etc. For ordinary camping and everyday use I often have nothing above the Decked drawers other than the folded Hest mattress covering half of the deck.
If I were to do things over again, I would probably build something custom. With the custom route, I think I would get more efficient use of space with the tradeoff of lower security.
