    Hard Sided Canopy "Camper"

    I believe so. The pictures may be old, but they have recent reviews on Google (from the last few months) which mention their custom camper shells.

    Hard Sided Canopy "Camper"

    Is that one of those Bel-Air Camper Shells?

    Pondering a custom (tiny) camper build

    Any (non-fiberglass related) advice to prevent that?

    Pondering a custom (tiny) camper build

    Hmm... And here I thought using mostly 2x2s instead of all 2x4s was already compromising my structural integrity. ;) I might have an issue with overbuilding things. Any recommendations for a good (yet not crazy expensive) wood sealer? Also, has anybody tried using liquid rubber on the walls of...

    Pondering a custom (tiny) camper build

    I'm seriously considering building a tiny custom hard-side cabover-less camper to fit in the (nominally 6' 4" but really 6' 2") bed of my Ram 1500 pickup with the tailgate closed. My plan is to build a wood frame out of 2x2s and sideways 2x4s with rigid foam insulation and plywood sheathing. I...

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    Good to know. I didn't realize they were willing to do custom sizes at all. I'm okay with the 5' interior height, but wanted 78" - 80" overall width rather than the standard 84". Perhaps that's the way to go.

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    I like the Capri Cowboy quite a bit, but I wish it were a bit narrower. Still, it's on my short list along with this little fellow or something like him.

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    Interesting... and expensive. I like it, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    Those Tufport units are interesting. They are basically empty shells, so good for customizing, although I suppose some strong adhesives would be required as you don't want to drill into the fiberglass. The custom popup is amazing and certainly better quality than I would be able to build. Very...

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have looked at both the Northstar Vista you linked and the Travel Lite Rayzr, but they aren't very low-profile (both are full standing height inside) and they are also rather wide (90" for the Vista and 86" for the Rayzr.) They are nice units, but they are a bit...

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    I have it in my head that I want a simple, low-profile, hard-side, slide-in truck camper without a cabover. I don't have the truck yet (I sold my last one a few years ago and haven't replaced it yet), so the exact dimensions of this box are not set in stone. No bathroom will be needed as a...
