Finally! A sensible truck camper. A properly lighter weight unit that is only a one or two step upgrade from a canopy with a mattress in it. It’s got a space to sleep, nuc your chow, chill your beer or soda, and a place to deposit yesterdays chow. And you don’t need a Kenworth to carry it.

This looks like it would make a good camper for a solo traveler optioned with the A/C, MaxxAir fan, solar and the Dometic cooler. I like that they used an aluminum frame instead of wood as it should hold up a littler better over time.

Yeah, but if your goiing to need AC, Then your going to need 30 amps and that means staying in an RV park or a campground with electric. Which makes a truck camper kind of a waste of money. Since you can have a lot more room in a different kind of camper for the same money. Like a popup tent camper. Way more room.

Definitely good for solo trips 2 max. Get rid of microwave and install high efficiency window AC using 500watts max. Substitute the closet for a shower then that would a sweet camper. Super compact park anywhere with excellent MPG. Without a shower or commode kind of hard to justify getting one, used Motorhome seems a better fit.

I met an older Asian man clear out in the middle of nowhere Eastern Oregon who had one of the these on the back of a Toyota pickup. I asked if I could take a look inside. He had that thing PACKED. He had a solar panel on top hooked up to a lithium battery. Inside he had a little propane hot plate to cook on, a little bar type sink with a hand pump faucet, a 7 gallon water tank, one of those portable battery operated fridges that look like a cooler, etc. I think he built his own cabinetry for all this stuff. He was only about 5' 6" tall but he seemed to be very comfortable in his small camper. He said the truck handled it fine. He was a nice guy and spent time explaining all the features he installed.

Nice! I was unaware of these. all aluminum and priced well below most anything else that a half ton might carry. I still need to look at how they option things. But one immediate criticism is the microwave. Dont bother. They didnt provide a sink, water tanks, range, etc. The microwave seems like a waste of space since you are going to have to come up with space for the other stuff. (I now see there is an XLS that has some of the other stuff) A suggestion for you, not-truck-camper-guy: always try to list or mention the Center of Gravity measurement. along with weight and length, its one of the most critical measurements. Pedantic: the COG line has to be forward of the centerline of the rear axle of the truck. on the smallest truck beds that can be less than 30" - and yes being over just by an inch *matters* (there's a joke in there...). failing that measurement eliminates a whole lot of small campers that might otherwise squeeze in on payload and size.

Bad thing. That dimension is why IM also looking at trailers even though I would prefer a camper. #themoreyouknow :D

I tent camped for 44 years, and RV'ed for 15 years. If your planning on using one of these, then plan on ruffing it. They are more convient than a tent, in the fact it doesn't take much to set it up.

Available Options: ► RecPro Low-Profile 9.5 BTU Roof Air Conditioner (requires the 110V package option) ► MaxxAir Fan - 12V, 3 Speed Reversible Fan, w/Remote and Rain Sensor ► Pull-Out North/South Bed ► Electric (Power) Jacks ► Portable Blackstone Griddle ► 160W/ Solar Panel Roof System ► 320W/ Solar Panel Roof System ► 100 Amp Hour Lithium Battery ► 100 Amp Hour Heated Bluetooth Lithium Battery ► Dometic CFF35 Powered Cooler (12v/110v)

Can you put an awning on this camper? Is there an option to put a fold down table or placr for your grill on the outside? If a person was to put one on there would it cancels out any warranties on the camper?

@@JoshtheRVNerd I bet with roof full of solar panels, proper lithium batteries, controller, replace one of those fans with the DC roof top AC/heat pump. Nice and flat compared to regular ACs. VERY low power draw for AC or heat (pump). Plenty of BTUs for something this small. Another option is EcoFlow system of solar generator and their portable heat pump. I think a built in would he better. This would work well for real cool off road boon dock with say 1/2 ton F150 Tremor. Or possibly Raptor.

A Raptor or Tremor owner would not be interested in any of these campers. These are not Overland type campers and people who buy those types of trucks are looking for brand specific campers or toppers with even lower weight ratings.

Big fail is no power jacks. I lived in a truck camper for a year, half off the grid. Power jacks are a must, could not imagine manual cranking 4 corners, would take forever. Having battery internal is a bit concerning as well, esp when adding more solar panels. A tiny sink would be a plus, and or stove. Think they missed the mark with these, sorry Josh.

I don't get the microwave. This camper seems to be intended for people who want a tent that they don't need to set up and won't leak in the rain. A propane stove would seem to be far more useful than a microwave. That said, for the right buyer, this is probably a great option.

It's probably for the legalities behind rollover safety... If you put a tall payload in a truck it will roll over if you do the wrong moves. Larger trucks are not in the same class as 1/2 tons or less and don't have the stability control systems. It's a legal thing to keep the manufacturer out of litigation. I would put one of these on my 1/2 ton truck, it's got to be the safest thing out there besides a home made foam camper.

@@volvo09 I respectfully disagree its a litigation thing. Owners overload their trucks all the time. That being said, a slide in camper and an uniformed consumer would spell disaster even before occupants and cargo. Many, many years ago we tested a 1200 lb slide in on our then new 2000 GM half ton. We turned around after about 2 blocks. It was extremely sketchy. I added air bags and rear anti-sway bars a couple weeks before we were scheduled to pick up the camper thinking safety all the way. Was beyond sketchy and never looked back. Tow behind all day long.
