Frequently Asked Questions

Our truck campers are made of aluminum, fiberglass, and composite materials. No wood to rot in the structure! All of the walls are insulated and with such a small amount of cubic air to heat or cool its easy if you choose to do so. Don't allow its simple looking construction to fool you. Besides a few screws and wood interior trim none of the camper's materials can be purchased at your local Home Depot. 100% of the materials are top quality and tested by many boat and camper manufacturers for decades. We took it one step further and tested every single material ourselves and over time and ruled out material that did not meet our expectations regardless of other manufacturers that still use them. To give you some examples, not all fiberglass can take the suns UV rays but ours can because of the gel coating on it. Not all aluminum can withstand the same stress our frame can, ours is structural rated aluminum and its welded together for even more strength, not just adhered together like some others manufactures do. Our frame is not only adhered to the fiberglass, but it's also fastened with a one-of-a-kind rivet you can't find at your local hardware store. We heavily researched rivets before purchasing some to test and still went through bags and bags of them we didn't deem good enough until we found the one we use. No wonder there are so many different patents just on rivets alone. The rivets are not required but we know customers expect a long-lasting product so we want to take the extra step. Even down to the sealant was heavily researched and tested before production started. We are not one to just take other people's word for a product to work as it should, but we tested them all ourselves. 

More than likely so. The base of the camper is 40" wide (between your fenders) and 71" long. Usually if you have a 6' bed you can close the tailgate or if you have a shorter bed just leave the tailgate down or take it off. In total the camper is about 9' long from the tail to the nose. Its about 76" wide so it fits well on a full-sized truck but does not look overbearing for a small truck either. We actually based some of our measurements off of Gladiators and Tacomas while still wanting the inside ceiling being high enough for most people to stand up in since it's about 6'4" high inside. The camper is only about 500 pounds or so, so generally there is no need for suspension upgrades. 

Tie downs rachet straps and/or turnbuckles are needed along with a 1" rubber mat that we sell. From the base of the camper to the sides that would overhang the sides of your truck bed is 18" tall. We made this low on purpose for Gladiators and Tacomas with beds that are pretty shallow so we can keep the camper hugging your truck so it doesn't look overpowering on smaller trucks. All trucks will need a 1" rubber mat under the floor of the camper to sit in the bed of your truck to help keep the camper at bay and will raise the camper up some to clear the sides of your truck bed. If your clearance of the sides needs to be higher, we offer a platform that the camper can sit on. Please see the cost tab for more details. 

The camper does not come with any finished electrical or plumbing. As you saw in our personal camper on the home page, we bring a portable power bank with us for lights and charging phones and such. The sink that comes with the camper drains under the cabinet there for it cannot be used unless you route it where your local laws allow you too.  This may be as simple as you placing a jug under the sink to catch water when you wash your hands, or you can pipe it down to the bed of your truck and leave a container there for it out of the way. We leave that option up to you so whatever works best for you can be done. In our personal camper we simply put a jug on the countertop that has a spicket at the bottom to wash hands and fill water bottles with. All of this allows you to choose how you want to use your camper without us choosing for you and charging you for something when you may want it done another way. 

UPDATE-

As the shower stall comes out soon, it will act the same as the sink. We still do not have any tanks that come with the camper. It's up to you to handle the gray water in a legal way. 

It depends on the state you live in. Some states make you register truck campers, and some treat them as cargo since they are in the bed of the truck. Since this can range state to state we personally will not have that information for you. We have also noticed that some websites online that claim one way or the other are not correct either so in our opinion the only people you should trust to give you a definite answer would be if you called your local DMV for registration and laws for truck campers. As far as insurance goes, you will need to call your personal insurance company as well.
