I did a search and can't seem to find a source for these "windoors" you guys are talking about. Anyone have a lead? I'm looking for side windows for my box..

Cheers,

Windoors are available in A.R.E, Leer and other shells. I don't know where you could buy them separate, though. Callen camper might be able to help. They built windoors on each side of my Callen box. See my build thread for pics.

Fleetwest Commercial Options

We go camping because we like the outside. I like the idea of a slide in except that it's TOO isolating from the environment. Currently we have a fiberglass topper w/ a windoor on one side and sliding side window on the other. We usually sleep w/ the back tailgate down and hatch open. I'm looking at less constraining options.

If a slide-in camper (popup or hard side) only had 2 rear doors (like a commercial topper) and windoors on each side I'd be very interested. Unfortunately I haven't found one ...
Please let me know if I've overlooked a manufacturer. Thanks.

They also make a lower profile unit. I am waiting for prices.

It's bad enough we cry about the cool vehicles available overseas, but I think this camper would be what you are looking for www.bimobil.com . - Brad

I wouldn't mind something like that, say in southwest CO around Labor Day, or in Utah in the spring.

But no way I would want one around here for the majority of camping season.

Our mosquito's are so big, we have to tether our livestock down, so they don't fly away with them!

I'm sure you could rig up a nice screen wall to kepe the skeeters out

www.statewidealum.com has "windoor" style windows

truck cap makers/parts suppliers will probably have those - even as replacement parts

For anyone who's interested, I just talked to Fleetwest, and the Durashell 165 and 90 models (for midsize pickups) are no longer available. Tufport (in British Columbia with one U.S. dealer) still makes similar units. http://www.tufport.com Also, Hallmark Campers will also be selling something similar, built by Colorado Expedition Vehicles, starting in the fall of 2017. http://www.hallmarkrv.com/campers/hallmark-raton/

So similar to TuffPort that one of the pictures on the Hallmark site appears to be a TuffPort Mobile Treatment Unit on it's side. I worked in these in the earlier 90's and they have an internal roll cage and set up for transport, seatbelts etc. The TuffPort product is heavily used in British Columbia and get abused daily. Tough units to be sure. Hard to get information as it appears their website is down.

interestingly enough, i STILL think this design is one of the best i have ever seen. can only think the builder didn't realize the potential he had tapped.

I hear ya. That's one reason I like the one that the SuperCamperos built:

I drool over those custom camper setups but i have neither the skills or the time.
I've looked into those cargobodies but it would be a lot of work and expense to modify to my needs. I can do the interior but the exterior ...

At this point, I'm leaning towards either an ARE vertical side commerical cap like this:

or a callen camper -> http://callencamper.com/Camper shells.htm

At some point soon, I realize I'll have to sh@t or get off the pot

Callen's in business again. Jim the past owner is taking orders. My concern is bugs with the open doors. I had three of them. I'll take my Northstar TC800.
