    Default Hallmark mfg. 6.5' foot La Veta pop up truck camper

    Another Tacoma sized pop up truck camper. 795 lbs dry weight, $13,495.00 base price.

    Also check out their K2 expedition camper for full size trucks.

    Very nice. I like the design a lot more than the FWC set up.

    Thanks.

    $12k is a lot still.

    795lbs dry means it's going to be more that 1000lbs when loaded. That's a LOT of weight for Tacoma. Nice looking camper though.

    I was checking that out. I like some of the features. It's basically built with the dimensions of a full size short bed truck camper with a floor that's narrow enough to fit between the wheel wells of a compact truck. Picture a FWC Hawk with a really narrow floor. The bed layout is nice but the width makes this camper about 14 inches wider then my FWC Finch. Size and weight is always a trade off with convenience and interior room. A 27 gallon water tank would be great (as featured on the Hallmark) but just filling it up would add 225 pound. If midsize trucks were a little more beefy in the payload department, this would be a nice camper as long as you weren't running really narrow trails.

    The layout isn't all that different than the new FWC's, but I do like the large windows on this Hallmark. It looks like a lot of camper on the new body style Tacoma, but that's only an issue off pavement.

    Thanks for sharing the link David in TX -
