You got it man...Cowboy camper...Baja camper...same thing...different demographics I guess! I live near San Diego...gateway to Baja and I know this style camper was/is used a lot down there. Lots of terrain and ****ty roads to navigate to get to surf spots, etc. Interesting idea about getting...

So last weekend my daughter and I went camping and Jeeping with our group. I needed a way to sleep both of us so before leaving I "fabbed up" a quick extension to the overcab section. I was able to give her enough room to have two backpacking air mats side by side up there. It was a quick and...

Hey all, Thanks to all who take the time to post here. I have looked all over this site for ideas and inspiration. After spending time out on the street looking around San Diego at used Callen Campers, I decided to build my own Baja style camper. It was a great learning experience and I really...

thanks for reply and comments! This has been a really fun build for me.

This was actually "a test build" to make sure I could actually do something like this! I wanted to keep it simple, etc. Yeah...my wife rolled her eyes at the "test build" part. LOL. The next one, will have cabover sleeping and the top will raise for more headroom. My kids sports and other...

My 2000 Dodge RAM 2500 with custom camper

I got one quick photo last night of the partially completed interior. Passenger side panel is up and the window is framed. Drive side panel is up but window is not framed yet. Still have the ceiling and cabover portion to complete then trim work, etc. Currently the panels are white vinyl MDF but...

I will get some pics this weekend...I am hoping to get some work done on it now that my kids are done with sports for now.

I started a Facebook page since a lot of friends aren't on this site...here it is... https://www.facebook.com/TerraCabin

I also purchased RV style door catches to install. The rubber catches I currently have work, but only if there is no wind! Those big doors are like sails.

Took a quick ride up Nate Harrison Grade last Sunday to get a couple pics not in my driveway. Nice easy ride with great views. Camper handled well with no weird creeks or groans. I also started laying in the insulation I got. Both sides are complete with only the top and doors to do...then...

Thanks! I will get some pictures over this weekend and get them posted. Interior not finished currently...my kid's sports had taken over but will be ending for the season by mid-May. I have the wiring (minimal) done inside and have LED lights taped to the ceiling to make sure of placement and...

hey Drobb...I just checked out your thread and posted to it...

hey! I just popped over from the link you posted in my thread. SO...did you ever get a camper on your truck? We have the Costco foamie long boards and they fit diagonal in the bed of my 6.5 shortbed dodge. With the new camper on I can put them straight in...the nose of the board goes up into the...

My wife gave me the "really?" look when I said I was driving to Flag for the expo...I told her now so it has time to sink in. I wanted to go last year and had too much going on. I am working on it...really want to go this year!

Southpier...all the edges are covered with aluminum angle..so no sharp edges...maybe could get blunt trauma in a drunken stoop-er...LOL. The piano hinge for the doors goes top to bottom and is screwed to a 1x2 rectangle tube. Something I still need to do...I want to fill the gab between the...

Also...what is everyone's thoughts on the aluminum trim? Hard to see in the pic but it has been textured with a orbital sander so it looks blasted. I was toying with that or going with white so it blends the corners better.

Hey Jonnyquest...I lived in Mesa a long time ago! Across from Rhodes Jr high...1985 graduate from Dobson HS. If I can get my neighbor to go along to EXPO and split the gas...probably will get there. I'll be talking to him about it this week.
