Has anyone modified their Northstar, Hallmark, or Bundutec pop-up camper to tie down inside the truck bed the way that FWC and Phoenix pop-ups do? Just curious what that would look like and how difficult it would be.

This might be a dumb question, but is the flatbed as long as the stock bed? If not, I'm sure it's not much shorter because the frame rails obviously extend very nearly to the end of the bed, but to me the flatbed makes the truck LOOK shorter overall.

Four Wheel Campers offer an inside shower option on some models but to me it looks clumsy and hard to use. Northstar, Phoenix, Hallmark, Outfitter, Bundutec, and Palomino all offer models with wet baths that have both an interior toilet and shower. Not sure about Alaskan. I've never seen a...

Your truck looks great. I recently got the exact same truck (even the same color) and have been mulling over exactly what I want to do but planning on going in a direction very similar to this. I’ve been eyeing the Carli systems in the hopes of not only fitting bigger tires, but also improving...

I've owned several full size trucks (2004 Titan, 2005 Ram 2500 CTD, and 2017 F250 with the 6.2 gas) as well as several mid size (Tacoma and Frontier) and a Jeep Wrangler 4-door JKUR as well as a 4th gen 4Runner. Yeah, for a long time I was one of those guys who didn't keep his vehicles very...

Oh man, this is the coolest project I've seen in some time. I'm salivating over the thought of this truck all freshened up with a FWC on it…..

I know nothing about generators but have also been eyeballing the 2k inverter generators, with an eye on Honda and Yamaha because of their proven reliability, but also wondering about the Generac, Champion, and others. Not personally interested in a generator from HF. So I'm just curious about...

I agree. But it's impressive all the amenities they fit in that thing.

Looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see a version for a full-size truck. A larger one with some more interior space, storage space, and tank capacity might be just what I've been looking for to go on my F-250. Not sure about the center support poles, though. They look a little clumsy. One of the...

It is. The problem I have is that living on the East Coast, it isn't practical to visit all the different manufacturers, so it's really hard to see the nuances of each brand and the differences between. Ultimately, I'll probably just end up buying whatever I can find within a handful of hours...

Isn't that the truth. A few weeks ago I found a nice-looking Northstar on CL about 10 miles from home. Didn't bother calling because I knew I wouldn't be able to go see it for a few days because of work. A few days later when I had time, I went on CL again to find the number to call…..it...

Not exactly looking to start a "which pop-up camper is the best one" thread, but more of a discussion of the pros and cons of the various models. Of course lots of us will buy whatever happens to be most available and/or affordable to us, but assuming you are a person who compared different...

Thanks! I don't think I will, either.

Alright, so over a year after starting this thread I finally pulled the trigger. Yesterday I brought home a 2017 F-250. XLT crew cab short bed. 6.2 gas engine, camper, FX4, and XLT Premium packages. 3.73 gears w/ selectable rear locker. "Blue Jeans" color. I spent more than I would have...
