I did a build in my Truck bed in preparation for a cross country trip with my motorcycle on a carrier behind the truck. I even created a false tailgate with a cutout for a 5000 btu window AC that set on the truck tailgate. It got the inside down to 68 degrees for sleeping but wouldn’t remove the humidity. Carrying a dehumidifier also would have taken up too much room.
It is that build that told me I was ready for more and bought a loaded 2022 Capri Cowboy in 2024. Already planning another cross country trip with motorcycle on the rack this spring.

In reply to Dave. I was thinking the same thing! I'd grab one tomorrow for $5K. Even a little more with inflation, but $12K? No way! That's way too much for just a step up from a tent!

I am curious if you have plans so others can build our own.

As to not wearing extra clothes in your sleeping bag (insulating against your insulation), that is simply an engineering impossibility. Perhaps you mean don’t wear wet clothes to bed. Or perhaps you mean don’t compress your insulation unnecessarily. But otherwise, more insulation means less heat transfer and that is what you want.

In reply to Ellie Rilla. I have a ford F350 XLT with the extended cab (1/2 not full rear door). I'm not sure why, but I don't have a photo of the bikes in the back seat. I will be able to get one in early January when we pick up our new Phoenix Camper in Denver and put them in the back seat again. The seats have to be folded up.

Bottom line… get enough truck for the load you are going to haul!

Too many people already have a truck when they decide to get a truck camper and instead of fitting a camper to the truck they already have, they buy the camper they want and try to make it fit the truck.

In my experience a lot of the dealers are culpable in allowing this to happen as they want to sell a camper and will gladly send it out the door fully aware the rig is overweight.

For completeness, the DOT rules requiring tank inspection that apply to portable tanks do not apply to all propane tanks on all campers. For example, permanently mounted tanks found on many camper vans are ASME tanks rather than DOT cylinders. Those of us who have these tanks regularly encounter confusion at propane filling stations asking about our proof of inspection, which is not required.
