Adventurers, retirees, and weekend travelers are all good candidates for buying a new or used truck camper—a compact, highly maneuverable RV that slides into the bed of a pickup truck and includes basic living amenities.
Read More (About Truck Campers)Truck campers—also known as “truck bed campers,” “pickup truck campers,” “camper trucks,” and “slide-in campers”—are compact RVs that slide into a pickup truck’s bed. This design differs from travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and pop-up campers that require a towing vehicle for mobility.
Like other RVs, truck campers provide an all-in-one living solution that includes a bed, stove, fridge, sink, bathroom, and dining area. They often have a lower purchase price and the benefit of being removable, letting you use the pickup independently. New and used truck campers are also typically better-suited for reaching off-road and remote locations than travel trailers, motorhomes, and other large RVs.
A truck camper can go pretty much wherever a pickup can. Whether you’re heading to a modern campsite or an off-grid desert location for some extended boondocking, their outstanding maneuverability makes them well-suited for:
Truck camper lengths range from approximately 6 to 20 feet (1.8 to 6.1 meters). Interior floor lengths are typically between 6 and 12 ft (3.7 m). Longer campers are usually higher-priced but have more amenities and possibly slide-outs to extend the living space. Depending on the model, a truck camper may offer:
Add-ons that may come with additional costs include internet connectivity, tie-downs, jacks, solar panels, awnings, off-road tires, suspension upgrades, and more.
Truck campers come in hard-side models, such as the Lance 975, and soft-side units, such as the Palomino Real-Lite SS1604, that may or may not include slide-outs.
