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!
