Posted here looking for some tips the other day so figured I’d give an update. Shortened the height of everything so that I can sit upright in front of the counter. First time building a drawer (or a box that slides out, not a real drawer honestly). Waiting for some foam pads to come in for the bed.

Still open to heater recommendations if you have one. Especially if anyone has done an electric heater.

alright whose got the balls to build this...

Hey everybody!

I acquired a truck bed camper because it came for free with a truck that I wanted. The camper I believe has shifted as the door is kinda hard to open. It was left on the jacks for too long I suspect. I have since blocked it up level. I am hoping it will resettle.

The camper is a 2012 Bigfoot 10-6. The interior is in shambles as many of the cabinets are damaged and the flooring is ruined. It is very dirty in the interior, but all the appliances are there and are believed to be functional. If I was to redo it I would have to just redo much of the interior and refinish all of the cabinets and upholstery. As you can see there are some cracks in the fibre glass that I am assuming can be fixed, but do not know if it is worth the trouble doing anything with this.

If I take the project on I am going to use it as a ski bum rig to go back on my old dodge. I just know nothing about these campers and would like some insight on what to look for or if it is even worth my time to redo it or just scrap the thing.

Thanks everyone!

I'm 5ft tall, maybe 130lbs, and I have a GSD that's about 80lbs. So I'm pretty sure we can sleep in the cab but I'd like some perspective from people who might have tried this and/or are doing the same.

I'm partial to regular cab pickups because I like how they look, but the realistic side of me assumes it's a better idea to get an extended/crew cab for the back seat space. Is that a correct assumption?

I'm moving from a small Class C motorhome (G30 van front end). I've been living and traveling in a ~25ft class C for over 5 years and it's starting to feel constraining. I've been down many dirt roads that most people won't take motorhomes on but I'm tired of worrying about the size--and the expense involved with getting the damn thing towed out when I screw up. It's a pain to remove the doghouse to work on and my biggest annoyance these days though is the gas mileage. I'm spending so much lately that I can't really enjoy exploring as much as I want for fear that I'll be too far from a gas station.

So I'm thinking of simplifying everything for at least a season. I eventually expect to get a slide-in truck camper but I'm leaning towards just finding a truck, putting a cap on, loading a canoe, and rambling around the forests for at least a season or two while I'm looking for a good fit. I'm not the biggest fan of the look of bed caps but it will be useful during rainy weather, and to keep anything in back a little more secure. So I'd sleep in the cab, then use the bed as the "indoor" space when needed or desired.

I know getting the camper first is recommended but I have a decent idea of what I'm looking for so I'm willing to risk doing it backwards. In any case, what are everyone's thoughts and opinions about sleeping in the cab?

Hello community!

My wife and I embarked on an adventure around Europe, and our first destination is the paradise of Sardinia.

We can't wait to travel all around Europe with Donkey (our truck camper) to explore new places, meet new people and ultimately enjoy the ride.

Have a great weekend all!

We are watching YT for reviews of campers and came across one where they said their camper hit the roof of their truck. We have a ‘21 F350 with a panoramic sunroof and are wondering if this issue of hitting the roof is common? Seems like with our truck it’s a recipe for disaster. I am reading about mats raising the TC up a bit but this isn’t anything we want to do trial and error!

Hi everyone! We’re getting a slide in, pop-up truck camper and want to be able to move it around in the garage/driveway when it’s off the truck. Can you buy wheels of some sort that fit the jacks? Is this a crazy idea? (Getting a Four Wheel Camper Raven, if that helps). Thanks in advance for any advice.

I’m wanting to make a huge life switch and get a truck camper to live and travel in, I currently drive an Outback and love the confidence it gives me getting to the ski slopes and such, what truck camper combo would be best for living and traveling out of? That would allow me to get up to the ski resorts the easiest and of course out in the woods and such

I'm downsizing from a LQ Horse trailer to a pickup camper + bumper pull horse trailer. Truck is a '21 F350 Dually diesel. I want a slide out and with a smaller extension hitch. I can't afford brand new so looking at used Arctic Fox, Lance, or similar quality between 20-30k. I can't make sense of all the various model numbers yet (still learning!). Can you help me out with some models that might fit this bill?

Hey all!

I build and sell weird camper conversions and this one is about my about my weirdest. It started off as a lawn truck and I did the build out and exterior last spring and put it up for sale. Alot of the comments were "I'd be all over it if it was 4x4". So I converted it over the winter. Now it's 4x4, 12" over stock, and fully done. Diesel heat, A/C, kitchen, inside shower, couch/bed, smart TV, solar, etc. I've already been to Virginia Beach, Maine, and camped for a week in the Allegheny National Forest.

It's going back up for sale but I'm seriously considering keeping it!

Has anyone ever seen a cab over truck rack converted into a cab over camper? It would be cool if you could just take the top and sides off and have your truck back. I made this image with ChatGPT.

I recently purchased a 2017 Palomino Backpack edition HS650. This is my first camper.

The camper has the original power inverter, but it also has an aftermarket power inverter. Anyone know why an additional inverter would be installed.

The camper also has the factory hester and an aftermarket Hester. Anyone know why the additional heater would be installed?

Anyone know what brand of camper this is?

So I’ve weight my truck with me, passenger, full fuel tank. Leaves 4,000lb payload to get gvw of 11,000. Now paper in manual says max camper 3230lbs. Are they trying to leave for cargo in camper?

anyone think this is a decent price? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1770480460172333

Trying to keep this thing as stealth as possible. I know for a fact it needs to be sealed and insulated. (especially at the rear door) But as far as a design goes i’m clueless. The floor is about 6’x4.5’ with a 3’x5’ shelf in the back. Must haves are a kitchenette, plenty of fresh water, an area to sleep thats at least 6.5’ and enough power to run personal devices and occasionally a guitar amp… oh yeah and it goes without saying but STORAGE.

Any ideas reddit?

just scored this camper off of fb marketplace for $70. ive been trying for years to find a shell for my ranger.

how difficult would it be to replace the black “windows” on the side with regular glass windows or tempered glass? love the shell but I don’t love the black windows on the side. ive never worked on a camper shell before so any and all advice/ resources are appreciated!! :)

Last of the adhesive has been removed and I got new gaskets on it. Happy to say it passed the hose test!

Putting this combo together for the summer. What do yall think?

Hi everyone, I recently bought a topper for my truck on FB Marketplace, the person I bought it from said he did not know the brand.

Would anyone happen to know which Brand is this? I tried google image search but I could only find two matches but sadly there was no mention about it.
