Refer to my previous posting for my experiences with GEX.  I will 
never buy another GEX product, after 2 defective products in a row 
and very poor customer service. I, too, had to pay money out of 
pocket because the warranty did not cover everything. Sorry to hear 
that my experience was not unique.

Not all high top campers are Safaris. Adventure Camper also made 
high top campers, under both the Adventure and Adventuremobile (I 
think?) names.  The layout you describe does not sound like any 
Adventure camper I've seen, though.
