lightweight "POP UP" truck camper with everything!!! by 4wheel Campers

[@dlg5485]

I just watched your Overland Expo video the other day and loved it, but THIS is the video I needed! I'm a big fan of FWC and have been trying to decide between ordering a Swift for my Frontier Pro4x or to go with a bed rack/rooftop tent setup. I think I'm gonna save up for a Swift. I love the fact that you can still get all the creature comforts in such a small camper. I'd definitely get it loaded because I wouldn't want to grow out of it. If you can afford the price, I think the Swift is the perfect overland solution for mid-size short-bed trucks. Great video!

[@mixflip]

I agree. The swift with every option seems like a great place to spend a few decades lol. It's a micro house on the back of your truck. Once I'm settled after the move....I'm giving these guys a call.

[@dlg5485]

@@mixflip I priced one out with the options I want and it came to $29,000! So it's going to be 2-3 more years before I can swing it, but I'd rather wait than go into debt. My mind is made up at this point, but the waiting will suck! Maybe I'll see you on the trail one of these days lol

[@MikeDonner]

@@dlg5485 Do some long hard thinking about the options you want. I ordered a Fleet for my Tacoma and at the last moment decided to scrap the sink,stove and fridge. The more I think about it now the more i'm glad I went without water or plumbing especially. Takes up a lot of space, can freeze, and is expensive. I went from a 25000 dollar setup to just under 20k. I'll get a top opening fridge I'll place where the sink and stove would have normally gone, saving money and efficiency. I skipped the solar install also, but had it wired with a controller, so I can do it myself or have a local company set me up, which will be cheaper. Same with an awning, I have my own but if I didn't I would buy one for a fraction of the cost FWC charges and either install it myself or in my case now have the camper installer/dealer install it, as they know the camper. Point is you can shave off some $ and I'd go the opposite you said by upgrading later with anything you might want, which is an option. FWC can install sink,fridge, stove, dinette even, AFTER you already own it. So I'd go lite at first, last thing you'd want is to be stuck with something you payed an arm and a leg for and that's weighing you down.

[@dlg5485]

@@MikeDonner I already know what I want, so I'm all set. It's not difficult to protect your plumbing and other systems with a little forethought. I want a camper with comforts. If I wanted an empty shell, I'd just tent camp and save myself a ton of money, but that's not what I want. Different strokes for different folks.

[@shammes53ify]

They base price isn't bad, but all the options will bring the price way up and many of those options should be standard

[@J.Young808]

This looks like an easier and less expensive way to get into Overlanding. Yes it doesn’t look as cool as a bed rack and rooftop tent. Maybe some of the utility of having the bed open is lost but with some of the options like a batwing awning you can get some of the usability. I like what you said about having a place to cook and chill while kids went snowboarding 🏂. I’m glad I came across your video. It is getting me thinking.

[@danielhoegler2062]

Mixflip you do good reviews. I watched your reviews for a long time now. I am about ready to go full time and stay mostly off the beaten path, off the grid, or overlanding whichever name anyone wants to attach to it, someone will make an issue with whatever is said no matter what. I do not care if it is Dodge, RAM, or Fiat. I have already sold my house and most of its contents, staying in a small apartment for now. I have looked at the Four-Wheel Campers (FWC) and have looked at teardrop campers for a long time now. I want to stay as far away from tents as possible (LOL). Your right as far as FWC go for overlanding purposes they are not as expensive as many think, but it is probably true that many cannot afford them, or want a cheaper option, or to build their own. I wish everyone luck in whatever option they choose. Also, many overlanding trailers are much more expensive than the FWC, pushing $50k. My favorite is the “Bean” trailer, which is a startup company just in the last year or so. I do not remember if you did a review on it or not! “Bean” is kind of a strange name (LOL), I understand the owner came up with the name as he called his daughter Jellybean, so Bean trailer it is. The Meaner Bean, the Mean Bean, Classic Bean, and the basic Bean. The Meaner Bean being the most off-road capable. All the beans are a one-piece fiberglass construction. Bean company did a review where they took a sludge hammer and beat on the side of the trailer with no damage to it. Was impressive to me, this trailer can take a beating on the trails and keep going. If you get the chance do a review on Bean trailers. You can google their site and check them out. Pricing is on their website, as you can build or mix and match the trailers the way you want them. I like the idea of an off-road teardrop trailer because once you get camp setup, then if you forgot the beer, you can jump in the truck and head to the nearest town, get the six-pack, come back and camp is still set-up! FWC you would need to take your camp down, go to town, come back and set-up camp again (LOL). With the FWC, I would still pull a trailer for all the things I cannot carry in the camper. With the teardrop I am still pulling a trailer, so why not just use the truck bed to carry the extra things. Both are on my mind, but I am leaning more towards the teardrop. Again, you make or do good reviews, keep up the good work. One veteran to another.

[@elizabethalipio2444]

Love how you present all the campers. Good to know about four wheel camper that can fit a short bed Tacoma

[@kevinthomson6324]

Really like that swift model if it fits in a frontier pro4x that’s a great low cost (tent free) overland set up. The lower bed can be used with the pop top down which is great for bad weather and those nights in the parking lots to save some cash during long trips. Shhhh don’t tell

[@codename607]

Hey that's my Tacoma in the video; glad to see it on the channel. Yes, I agree that these are affordable and worth the price. I've had my 2015 Swift since new and I spend about haft the year camping inside it. From temps up in the 90s to down in the -20s, when its pouring rain outside....I'm always able to camp. Keep up the great work mixflip!

[@paulsink2800]

Bought a 2004 shell model and outfitted it myself. Very affordable. I was thinking...if you bought a flatbed shell...you could use fold-up bunks and mats for sleeping. That would leave an open floor for camp chairs and a portable table, stove, etc. for when it's nasty outside.

[@mixflip]

How much was the shell model?

[@paulsink2800]

Nice video. I always say "Dodge Ram" as well and then catch myself. And then dont care cause I have a Chevy. But let me tell you, I wanted a pop-up camper for the mobility but the wife said NO WAY.

[@mixflip]

I hear that comment alot. Just build it yourself and save a ton of money. That's easier said than done. What if you dont have the tools? Now you have to buy them. What if you dont have the space to build a camper? Now you have to drive to your parents house or brother or sisters house or friends house and impose on their time and space which also extends the build time since it's not next door. Just use your backyard...many people dont have side access or rear access or both available. 4wheelcampers are made of welded aluminum....I guess I'll save money and use wood. Then there is the handyman skills. Everyone isnt great at using power tools, measuring accurately and cutting straight lines. At least not the 1st try. Then the time. Everyone doesnt have the time to build premium quality products in their backyard. It's worth it to some to pay a little cash for a journeyman to produce a quality product. Our local economy feeds its kids and thrive when tradesmen have jobs. Then there are those who broke their backs at their job for 30 years and built a nice pension...and have no desire to lift another hammer. They want to have fun with their retirement. They have the money and dont mind treating themselves to a decade of comfy camping in a quality product. I could build my own AK47s ...but sometimes I want my AKs made by old world craftsmen. That's my 3 cents anyway.

[@MrTeeWin]

@@mixflip also the people with these kind of comments end up not doing it themselves. I learned throughout the years to outsource everything when I can and enjoy those free time with my families.

[@dannyixoye262]

@@mixflip Sorry but these 4wheel Campers are far from affordable. Plus they are not made as well as the 1982 Sun Lite pop up truck camper that I have. Too much plastic and to much vinyl. And the vinyl windows and the cheap stabler shocks to help with the lift is laughable at best. Save your money and buy a used 1980's SunLite or a 1990's Palomino....even if you have to fix it up a little it is by far a better buy..By the way, I'm 65 and retired and most men my age can still swing a hammer and don't mind doing so. I take exception to your thinking that those of us who worked hard to build whatever pension we have is a deal breaker from still doing work while retired. That for many of us is fun in our retirement. Why because were good at it. You'll find out when you reach your 60's how naive that thought process you have now will change. If you want old world craftsman, then this product from 4wheel Camper is not what you should be looking at. Happy trails to ya while they still exist...

[@mixflip]

@@dannyixoye262 I never once said "all" retirees dont want to swing a hammer. I said some dont have the time nor the desire to. Not all men your age are carpenters. My grandfather was good at killing Japanese in the Pacific and landscaping. Just because he wasnt a carpenter or welder doesnt mean I didnt respect him as a man. My grandfather did have some wise words for me before he passed. He told me most men have big egos that are easily bruised. I have been around the world and back and I see what he means now.

[@dannyixoye262]

@@mixflip Well you grandfather was a smart man but I would differ with him about most men having an ego that is easily bruised. Men, real men, don't care about ego's they care about what needs to be cared for and what is truth, real truth. If you wish to put me in the category of being a easily bruised egotistical then I think your grandfather and I would have a good laugh. Landscaping is honorable work and I don't get why you would think carpentry or welding is more worthy. Any work done right is honorable and you should honor your grandfather for such. As far as him being good at Killing during WW ll, many men come home from war and just want a simple life so perhaps that is why he chose landscaping. I salute him for his service. I spent time myself overseas during the debacle of Vietnam and I came back to forget and work for a simple life. So I get it.....

Question: If you are in a location that does not allow soft sided dwellings because of bears or something, CAN you still use the stove, sink etc and sleep in the bottom area?. That is, NOT pop the top up? Also, if it was snowing a lot, I would think the weight of the snow would be a problem keeping the tent popped up. (and no where for solar panels, probably too heavy)

[@flyfish6473]

Don't know if it would be allowed in some bear areas like in Yellowstone. With the top down, you could not use the stove, and the sink would be iffy, but you could sleep in the lower bed. The roofs can hold around a thousand pounds of distributed weight like snow, and the roof can easily hold solar panels. The roof has internal composite panels at each end that lock in place to support the roof. They offer solar packages or you could do your own. See their site, they answer many questions.

Naturally I bonked my head getting in the damn thing and of course the wife wasn't happy with the toilet situation. It wasn't that she was unhappy with the privacy part but she knew that my ass was going to permeate the whole space so she was out. I guess some things are just deal breakers. But single me would say hell yes to one of these.

LOL single me would do this setup all day. So true. I think the toilet is just for emergencies. Most camp sites have toilets nowadays unless you are boondocking.

And the vinyl windows and the cheap stabler shocks to help with the lift is laughable at best. Save your money and buy a used 1980's SunLite or a 1990's Palomino....even if you have to fix it up a little it is by far a better buy...

[@mylifeisdoghair9708]

You're wrong. 4WC are extremely well made. They do chose some materials for their light weight, like parts of the cabinetry and sheeting. The gas struts aren't cheap, they're 100lb struts. There are 4WC from the 1980's that are still in service today, and all 4WC weight about half of what their Palomino/SunLite/NorthStar counterparts do. The DOT sticker on my Hawk says 695lbs. Those heavier campers are fine, there is nothing wrong with them - But these are a completely different class of camper (4WC, All Terrain Campers, and Phoenix) and there is a reason they are more expensive. They are made with a welded aluminum frame and with low weight and trail durability in mind. Palomino/SunLite/NorthStar are not, they are built more for comfort and space.

[@jearago]

Exactly! $18k will buy a full size double axle trailer with all the amenities. Not to mention they are no longer "light weight"!

[@mixflip]

@@jearago and how far up mountain trails will a full sized double axle trailer go? People dont buy these to stay at a KOA camp ground with shore power and a laundry facility. They buy these to drive 100 miles into the back country on road that aren't maintained by the bureau of land management. The folks that buy these camper dont need to see an ad in a magazine or TV commercial to buy one.....these campers sell themselves. They have been thriving for decades with no TV or radio ads. Kinda like buying guns...

[@jearago]

@@mixflip I'm not suggesting that big trailers would be suitable for off road back country travel, that's obvious. What I'm questioning and comparing is the cost of materials and manufacturing. Even with the economies of scale for large mainstream RVs I find it difficult to believe that specialty campers like FWC are anywhere close to that expensive to build especially considering many of the components are the same.

[@mixflip]

@@jearago I'm not justifying their prices....but I do know that I dont have the skills, the tools, the garage space and the time to build one myself. I get what you're saying. The cost of building the youtube website is in the millions and we get that product for free.

[@paperkiller25]

They don't call them "Dodge Rams" anymore because they aren't made by Dodge anymore....

[@mixflip]

They are still made by Dodge 100%....the factories and workers are all the same as they were the day before FMC bought them....the profits just go to Italy vs USA.

[@rockrunner387]

@@mixflip Back in 2009 or 2013 Dodge split off their trucks into a separate division. So the Rams are NOT made by Dodge, they are both made by Fiat/Chrysler, just like Buick and Chevrolet are separate cars but are both made by General Motors.

[@mixflip]

@@rockrunner387 not 100% true. It's just a branding/marketing move. They want the name DODGE to be associated with street performance not off road performance. They want RAM to be associated with off road performance. But 100%....Ram trucks are Dodge trucks. No one split to different corners physically. It's just marketing.

[@rockrunner387]

@@mixflip Whats your source? Everything I have read/heard for the last 6-10 years said they are now separate divisions. The former Dodge factory that makes trucks is now a Ram factory. Dodge factories only make cars. Saying a Ram is a Dodge is like saying a Chevy is a Buick.

mixflip the company is both Italian and American

[@bobmar9239]

This is just an ad.

[@mixflip]

Lol I dont remember getting my advertising paycheck from the company???? I am just a fan. They got my time for free. If they want to sponsor me I'd take that deal lol.

I wouldn't want to live in a camper without a dinette.. NOT..

Uhhhmmmm not affordable!

[@mixflip]

Actually it is affordable. Its well within the financial reach of many people who have a decent job and who have a little bit of disposable income. Plus there is this thing called "financing" which also makes it possible for people to spread the payments out over 10 years. $18,000 spread over 10 years is roughly $180/month. I'd say that is well pithing the budget of most guys with a decent job.

[@jaytel3195]

You realize 18k is for an empty shell. To get the options you stated your looking closer to 40k

[@angelogarciajr5356]

@@mixflip 18K is not reality. More like 30K or more in 2021
