Hey all, as the title suggests. I'm looking to hear weigh in's of different camper types. More specifically, standard slide-in vs. flatbed vs. custom's that will fit in a service/utility bed.
I have long considered a custom pop-up that will fit in a service bed as I frequently carry much equipment - 2/3 saws and equipment, several ax'es, recovery gear, spare parts, gas, work equipment. Thus I have been planning to get a service bed as much of this 'equipment' can be used for both work and play times. So, to maximize storage I considered a custom camper to go along with the service bed. But, sorting the floorplan seems to be a long standing issue in terms that obviously you have less floor space, so finding a location for a porta-potty, or even a small shower, water tank, etc... would be significantly more difficult than with a normal camper which has more floor space, and space over the wheel wells, unlike a service bed. Additionally, for my particular application the camper will likely be permanent; however, it might be removed here and there - which is why I did not also suggest a frame mounted custom as an option.
So...I'm curious to hear thoughts. And especially from anyone who might have a camper that fits a service bed.
