-2X Arctic Tern windows w/ integrated shades and bug screens
-Thule 8’ Hideaway awning

Electrical:

-Arctic Tern electric roof hatch (useful for cleaning solar panels!)
-Smoke + CO2 detector and alarm
-52L National Luna Refrigerator
-Maxxair Deluxe fan
-Dimmable LED lighting system in ceiling w/ remote
-Exterior LED on door switch (also switches on/off manually)
-Sirocco wall-mount fan
-Flex LED lamp over bench w/ USB charging
-1X Blue Sea Systems fuse block
-1X Blue Sea Systems 2X USB outlet
-1X Blue Sea Systems cigarette outlet
-3X Renogy 100W solar panels (need different power supply to use)
-Main power cable outlet in weather-safe location, uses 50A Anderson style connector
-National Luna 12V portable power pack with Odyssey AGM battery controls all electrical and charged by truck alternator (need to swap to a solar-friendly version for the solar to be added back in, but this will run the camper electrical as it stands)

Installation:

-Some basic wiring that connects the 12V system to the truck for the key fob lock/unlock feature, etc (adapters included, and also allows any battery system you select to also be charged by the truck alternator)
-Bed hooks at the 4X lower corners (standard in most trucks I’ve seen); the Spacekap used HD straps to attach to these hooks
-Truck-specific installation kit required (basically a few supports you add to the bed of your truck to make sure the spacing is just right for the camper relative to the truck bed (I will provide the one in my truck with sale, but it was made for 1999-2016 Ford Super Duty pickups):

Installed National Luna 12V portable power pack, alternator charged/connected, runs on another Odyssey AGM (will need savvy person w/ DC-DC charge controller to integrate solar, or better, swap this out for the new NL DC-25 or similar with integrated solar inputs and regulators.

Do you have any knowledge if this camper might fit on a 2006 RAM 3500 w/ 8ft bed? Seems like it is designed to go into any model full size truck. How long does it take to remove and install? Im interested in it.

Yep, you’re correct, it’ll fit well, but will probably require the Spacekap install kit (I’d be happy to offset the cost of that install kit with a discount on price).

My wife and I were able to remove the camper from my pickup in about 1.5hrs, but we were contending with an out-of-nowhere storm cell that came shook things up! I’d guess typical install time without be about the same, maybe a tad longer if you are running wiring from alternator, etc.

Install Kit 70-0199

Also open to adventure motorcycles, mountain bike or e-bike, tear drop trailer, musical instruments, etc so if there was a multi-trade + cash scenario you had in mind, throw it out there!
