That's a sweet find. I really have no use as I have no truck, but that seems like a fair price for something like that.
Are you picking it up ?

 

[pugslyyy]

agreed, very nice - it's like a middle ground between a truck cap and a truck camper.

I would be all over that if it was localish

Sweet! For future reference...

I'm not picking it up. Its too much camper for my old 2003 Frontier 4 banger, and to little for my 2014 Ram Crewcab longbed 4wd diesel. Hope someone here picks it up and provides details of adventures in the future.

I'm just excited to see something in my area for sale. It seems all the cool stuff I see is always somewhere on the Left coast!

I'm considering driving up to take a look at this, but need to do some more research.

Does anyone have any information on this camper? Google searches for "Mini-Tour" (with the words "camper shell" and "truck" attached) are not turning up much in the information department. I would like to run the dimensions to make sure it will fit.

Thanks,

I recall a thread on here that stated only about 100 were made , I think it was a guy that did boats

Thanks! I appreciate the fast reply. Going off of the dimensions in that thread, it looks like this unit would have a 10" overhang off of the back of my tailgate (2012 DCSB Tacoma). I really wish I had a long bed right now. With that being said, what do you guys think? It would look a bit awkward (which I don't really care about). i just want to make sure it will be safe. The PO of my truck installed a full Ironman4x4 suspension with the rear Load Plus springs, so the weight shouldn't be an issue.

If you get that, I expect to see pics!!!

Will do. I'm leaning toward no at this point. There are too many cons for me:

1) It's about a 3.5-4 hour drive from me. My inlaws don't live too far from there, but it would be a haul.

2) It's hard to judge market value - this one is $1k more than the last one that surfaced for sale. Also, the seller said the A/C unit needs work = which equals more $$$. I don't need any more projects at the moment.

3) I currently run a Leer 180 shell / Ironman RTT and like that setup. I would also have to remove my Baja Rack to fit the camper - this would be a pain and I like having the additional storage space.

If I have a change of heart, I'll let you know. Someone should definitely snag this though. I can't agree more that finding something like this on the eastern seaboard is rare.
