Check out this link:

I think you will find the cost of a new spacekap or cargobody does not compare very well with a similar size rv. However if you could get a good deal on a used one then it could make economic sense to convert one to a compact camper.

SpaceKaps are very popular in Canada, I see them all over Quebec and Labrador. They are manufactured in Canada. The advantages are the doublewall fiberglass retains heat well (good for northern climates) and they are pretty much bear proof. I've met a few people who have them outfitted very sparsely: a toilet, sleeping deck and simple cooking space. Good for one or two people.
I don't see them in the States very often, I think they are a bit pricey.

There are several similar manu's that I had looked at for a slide-in on a trailer frame as a camper. I was turned away from the overall costs for the double walled fiberglass slide-in.
It is another viable option for those wanting light weight removable campers on trailer frames.
I looked at Alaskan Campers, Cargobody, Horizon Fiberglass (I think they were sold), Rally Master Pods (local to me), Spacekap, Sport Cam truck camper, Best Built Camper, Callen Camper, and probably more but don't have them favorited on my home laptop.

Must be a Remington, my Benelli doesn't look light that at all.

here's a link to my camper that I picked up a few months ago.

I was told someone in the boating / fiberglass industry in Santa Cruz build 100 of these for a RV company and planned on going into full production. Something happened and I guess they only built 100 units. There's no name or indentification anywhere. I've seen the Spacekaps all over Canada and similiar shells in Central America and wondered why they had no distributers in the US, (or at least that i could find). Fed Ex has some new pick ups up here in Truckee, CA that might be similiar. Not sure if they are fully enclosed like the Spacekaps though.
