Does no one make an over-the-cab topper?

Old thread, but I'm currently on a similar search, but decided to go the pop-up route.
There was a video or thread where they showed how much of a hit in gas mileage with it over the cab.
A pop-up can be kept down and only pop-up'd when needed.
Even the homemade ones pop-up in minutes.

Oh, and I don't want to go the camper trailer route, because I want to be able to tow my boat too.

I've been on the search for building my own wedge camper.
Most all I have seen have built the frame out aluminum with welding. Most my career has been working with wood, so I have searching for diy builds using wood. Only found one other than this one, but I really like how he did incorporate some aluminum for the more structural area like the cantilever, but still didn't require welding.

I would be afraid to know how much of the trucks payload that is using up.

Yeah, that one is too complex and elaborate.
I like this one better.

Before he added all the stuff inside, he said it weighs 265 pounds.
Here's the video for just the top.

Yeah, I posted the wrong video. The one in my later post is just for the wedge camper. That one he says is 265 pounds.
