$32,000 for the camper. Located in Bend, Oregon

Selling my 2017 GZL 300 slide-in camper. Earthcruiser no longer makes the GZL so these are very hard to find. This is a great rugged rig that is very capable of getting off-road and into some pretty remote areas not easily accessible with larger vehicles. The Pop-top is very easy to put up and down and has 5 large, screened windows that let in great light and ventilation, and can all be zipped closed with an insulated panel in cold weather. The heater in this thing is great and we've camped in some decently cold weather with no issues. I know people have gone much colder in these without concern.

I'm looking to sell the camper alone, but I'm always open to discussion if someone is interested in the truck as well for a ready-to-go system. The truck is a 2019 ZR2 Bison edition with ~27,000 miles.

GZL description from EC:

The GZL pop-up truck camper is engineered to fit light to medium-duty trucks beds. Utilizing the same methodology in developing an EarthCruiser, the GZL was thoughtfully designed to keep going where other truck campers can’t. Outfitted to get you out further and stay there longer with standard equipment suitable for four seasons, the GZL camper can take you almost anywhere your imagination can.

Here's a site with some good photos of the interior. Mine is the same layout: https://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/vehicles/misc/earthcruiser-gzl-pop-up-truck-camper/

A few things about the camper:

1. I had the water tank professionally replaced. EC installed an aluminum tank in this model, which was subject to corrosion and caused pump issues. I had two plastic tanks installed for a water capacity of 14 gallons.
2. I removed the electric hot water heater since it wasn't practical with the single 90AH battery and had gas and water professionally routed to the exterior of the camper. This allows for a propane hot water heater to hang outside.

Here are some quick specs:

Lightweight fiberglass shell
Well insulated, made for 4 seasons
Pop up roof on gas struts
90 Amp house battery
2x100 watt Zamp Solar Panels
Power inverter and wall outlet
1.5 cubic foot isotherm refrigerator/freezer
14-gallon fresh water tank
9 gallon grey water tank
Water and gas plumbed for external propane hot water heater
Dometic 2 burner propane cooktop
Camco catalytic heater
3 gallon propane tank
LED interior and exterior lighting
6.5 foot awning
Interior/Exterior shower
Comes with camper jacks for removing from truck

The mounting system could be easily modified to fit a Tacoma short bed. The camper was mounted on a 2015 Tacoma originally and to convert to my new Colorado I simply welded the mounting system to some HSS beams to get the clearance above the taller Colorado bedsides. Someone could easily cut these off to have a drop-in system for a Tacoma. Jacks aren't pictured but are included.
