On April 11th, Yoly and I traveled up to Columbia, TN to pick up our custom built Eureka truck camper. Ours had quite a few special options including 2 bi-directional Fantastic Fans, larger than standard side windows, slide to open cab-over windows, extra powerstrips, a custom made reclining couch base and a custom extended bed to accommodate an RV "short queen" mattress orientated for "north/south" sleeping. All these things added to the cost which still came in for less than $9K. The base price can be as low as $8K or less. We carefully weighed the truck unloaded on our way to pick up Nate and then weighed the truck with the camper at the same scale on the same day after topping off fuel each time. The camper weight as calculated from the Cat scale certificates was exactly 1220 lbs. This makes this truck camper the least expensive and most lightweight production truck camper on the planet :-)
Since there is no propane system, while traveling we will be running the compressor 110 volt fridge from a 1500 watt inverter that I will be installing . Our fridge will be a 2 door model with a larger than standard freezer. We will be adding a 24 inch LED flat screen and a PS4 and an adjustable dinette table large enough for our laptops etc. When hooked up to shore power or generator, we'll be cooking on an induction cooktop and on a Coleman camp stove otherwise. This slightly smaller than average camper will still have the essentials for camping comfort including a comfortable couch, entertainment center, beautiful views out large windows and blissful sleep on a 5 inch tri-fold memory foam mattress.
