Custom Truck Campers

[tele'n]

hey guys,
well a while ago there was a link to someone building a homemade camper for a toyota truck. i believe they removed the truck bed and bolted it right to the frame.
anyway, does anyone have that link? or any other links to custom campers.

thanks

On the other thread that jrsteffes linked in, there are some questions r.e. NidaCore.

I didn't want to resurrect that thread, but wanted to mention that NidaCore is the stuff that the Turtle Expedition is using on Turtle V.

They talk a little about it here. (http://www.turtleexpedition.com/vehicles/turtle5.php)

Allochris built his own camper on his Toyota, with a build thread here, (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4811)

....and his trip report with a million more photos here (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6152).


He did a great build in a short amount of time and documented the process very well. There are some amazingly talented people out there.

thanks for all the links etc. those were the ones i was talking about and more!
presently i'm using a hannibal setup ontop of a canopy with yak bars. i've reinforced it with supports inside the canopy. it's small but ok for now. i'm looking into some sort of camper in the future.
