Opinions on pop up truck campers

Now I have a Fuso FG, I have to put a camper on it. The truck as it sits should fit in a shipping container which makes shipping overseas much better. If I put a regular camper on it, it won't fit in the container, so a popup slide in truck camper seems to be the best choice. Any opinions out there on pop up truck campers? I'm going to buy used. I looked at a Hallmark today but I didn't like the roof raising system. It had a couple of aluminum bars set at an angle, pushing sideways on them raised the roof. Not much mechanical advantage, particularly if I had canoes on top. I think I'd prefer the crank up systems.
But I'm open to all insights.

I think they wrote the book (literally, actually) on the subject.
