Tischer truck camper unit on Ford Ranger

[@drewcunningham2]

In southern Ontario, we refer to them as "over the cab campers". This is the name I always knew them by. My childhood friend's father built his own custom camper for the box of his pick up truck, In the summer months he would hitch up their little 17' aluminum boat with a 20hp outboard motor and head on up north to do some serious fishing in one of the many lakes to be found all over the province of Ontario, and also further north in the province of Quebec. There are literally thousands of small lakes to choose from, thus, the fishing is always excellent in most areas on or off the beaten track!

Just ordered a TISCHER 230s. Cheers for the review! We've always called then demountables and they all can def be removed from the pickup, that's the attraction.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Demountable is a good word but not all of them are demountable!

[@nigehogg133]

@@VanlifewithAlan fair one.

[@mainframe0199]

I like the layout, stove and sink is far from the bed and just beside the door.

[@2amRendezvous]

these campers makes US truck campers look like backyard projects.

[@scotthowe2286]

Build a bunch of them ,put them on a large ship ,so we can buy them in the USA very nice camper.

[@keyvinco2379]

Great little cosy space 👍 Demountable’s I’m liking

[@Layingflat]

Australia we call then slide on campers. I’ve always wanted one ever since I was a kid, now I just retired, it’s a hard decision to make between that or a caravan. Some say caravans are easier to unhook and drive around to see the tourists attractions. It is a beautiful unit , but I just can’t decide.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Caravans are easier to unhook but I think that there 4x4 performance will be a lot weaker. As you are in Australia, I think off roading must be a major consideration - it would be for me if I were living there!

[@Layingflat]

Alan Heath I’ve heard a few story come out of a road house in the outback we’re people drive them on gravel road at speed and the bend the frame of the pickup. They end up staying at the road house for a few days until they get the pickup chassis welded up. With the weight up high it must be a hell of a G force on the chassis rails.i would like to see an engineers calculation.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

@@Layingflat I think you would need to speak to a manufacturer about that Paul.

[@dereksuddreth8672]

We call them "Slide-in Campers" in the US, even though you actually back under them. Truck bed camper shells are also popular here (lighter and much less expensive). Camper shells are basic and designed to keep you dry and off the ground. Because "Shells" are not as easily removed (requires 2 persons to lift/mount with c-clamps and weather stripping) most are left on the truck as an extra large lockable storage space. You can add accessories as you need them, and it is an economical way of camping as compared to self-contained units.

Lo amo. Quisiera uno para Costa Rica. Algún dia tal vez.

One of the best I've seen

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

In the USA we call them truck bed campers

sorry just heard at the start after rewatching ! great videos !

[@VanlifewithAlan]

No problem - you must have got to the end before asking!

[@chriscabel9473]

How about the air-conditioning?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

You buy it and install it. Or buy it from the RV manufacturer as an option.

[@paveloleynik2743]

Can I buy it in the USA?

[@evang9708]

Can it be used off-road?

[@Adam-fl9uc]

It would be just perfect if within that toilet it would also have a shower... I'd really have a reason to buy ranger then

[@joninpgh]

It does have a shower.

[@lelandallen144]

Where! Did they get this guy! You might be in Europe! But we Americans also see this! How much is the gross! Weight when on the ranger P.U. GENIUS! Very POORLY! COVERED!

[@duncanwallace7760]

Perfect, if I could get one to Aussie. Is it well insulated I wonder?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I think it should be OK for Oz, well at least as far as the cold is concerned. I don't know about the heat though!

[@duncanwallace7760]

@@VanlifewithAlan Haha, yeah, the heat is often the issue here, but insulation works for both situations I think, so it should be good... IF we could ever manage to get these great products imported.

[@eastcoastnews9529]

How much for this one

[@RobbieCumming]

Amazing. You could totally live on that! Although what about heating?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Blown air heating from Truma or diesel.

[@Seanpaulnz01]

If the pod is welded to the body, what would be the benefit of it? You can't access the driving cab from the living quarters. I would just get a nice 5.5m van motorhome

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Good point - horses for courses - whatever suits you!

[@yashashdave123]

Seanpaulnz01 it's basically for people who are looking to camp deep in the nature and not park at camp sites. Also the biggest features it has is it can detach itself from the truck giving you payload and freedom to leave your camper as a base camp. Just imagine you would need to take that 5.5 van everywhere. Basically as Alan said what works for you is good. But I'd like to see a hybrid of class b / c and truck campers. Theyd be ultimate.

[@thomastuite9174]

This one isn't welded to the body, so it's obviously more versatile. One of Alan's other videos is of the Oman which is, and in that one you can access the cab through the bed. But in either case, you are driving a powerful 4x4, not a motorhome. Big difference!

[@newport5504]

That’s a Nissan navara on the thumbnail lol

No.

[@nosrepsuomynona7192]

I think these are called "Truck Campers" in the US

[@TomisaburoRMizugawa]

That or slide-on truck campers

[@IronCross82]

Here in Canada we call it a truck camper or a slide in camper

[@IronCross82]

Definitely call it a truck camper

[@Cla55clown]

"TC" on the RV forums.

[@buddywheels]

They are called demountables.

[@giacomomariapini5146]

I Love it *.*

[@diyjeepguy7713]

that style is known as a 'cabover camper' in the US or as a 'truck' and or 'pickup' camper also

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thanks for telling me. A cabover or overcab is something totally different in the UK!

[@davidleigh443]

Also known as a truck slide- in camper

[@johndiaz7240]

We call them cab over camper ,thank you.

[@BillGoudy]

I like how compact it is... Is there a vent fan over the stove?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

There is not but you could install one.

[@noaryu2031]

U really don’t need 3 burners. Just make the sink little bigger n deeper with one burner.

[@germainecurry7569]

Looking for one

[@rich7447]

I have never seen this setup on anything smaller than a 3/4 ton.

[@Randomadventurelife]

Til now ✌️

[@venturahanson2577]

Right?! I feel like that truck is not going to handle that weight well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bbng4770]

How much is the camper alone...

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Around EUR35k - depending on configuration.

[@esj4373]

Interesting ! What's the cost with the truck ?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

About EUR75k.

[@thomastuite9174]

But that's if you want to buy a brand new vehicle, which depreceates by thousands the moment you start it up! We got our Ranger for £17,000 (£20K incl. finance interest) and it was only two years old. Wonderful truck!

[@vava1953]

Demountable camper, that's what it's called in Europe. Never seen one that doesn't demount, what would be the point? Certainly there's not a non-demountable demountable in the Tischer range!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I can think of a couple that don't demount even if they are not in the Tischer range!

[@benderbenderal3175]

how much؟؟؟

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Depends on how it is kitted out - probably around EUR35k.

[@PhilipHutton]

In Noth Amarica we call it a camper.

[@steveleonard1227]

Truck camper!

[@geographyinaction7814]

Straight across the board, the European and UK Rangers, Isuzu D series, VW and other trucks have considerably higher payloads. The same Ranger in the UK as the one in N. America, has an average of about 1000 lbs. higher payload (2600 lbs.!!!!). The diesel engines, brakes, and suspensions are designed to haul more, due to the lack of full-sized pickups in the market. These campers would be useless in the States and Canada, as we simply don't have the trucks here to carry them. Shame.
