Hey all - been watching and reading these threads for a long time. So much good information here!

I started planning this pop-up truck camper build last fall, then completed it in late April to early July 2017. Learned a ton. I call it the 'Ultima Thule Camper'

Sits beautifully on the truck, handles great on rough roads.

Shell only (panelled, carpeted, all trim completed), with only a couch/bench inside. Came in at about 600 lbs. I will eventually add a heat source (thinking a wood stove, but still considering all the options - yes I am considering propane too) along with a small sink, propane stove (thinking a combined stainless steel SMEV unit). it's got a queen bed dimensions above the cab, and the couch/bench folds down. Standing room of 6' 2" inside.

Aluminum framed, aluminum sided. Vinyl fabric.

I will do a build thread of my own - but thanks to ya'll for being willing to share information!

Nice work, Dweb, I'll be following along! I'm sure the gory details of your build will be of great interest to us minimalists.
