I have been using and refining this setup for 5 years! It has been an very fun toy that has allowed us so many adventures but my kids are getting taller and if I'm honest, we need more space.

I built this with mountain biking in mind... it was important to me to be able to fit 2 bikes inside the cabin so that I could drive into town and not worry about my bikes being stolen. This is how I came up with the unique shape which gives me 1' extra space in the back of the cabin. I also think it looks cool:) I sleep very well in this camper. It is stable, comfortable and is perfect for 1 or 2 adults. I often take my 2 kids on overnight adventures and that also works but if mom wants to come we are over capacity.

The camper has a built in Dometic CRX80U fridge/frezer, 2 roof mounted solar panels, a Jackery 500 battery, a Propex Furnace. The lower frame is steel and the upper frame is Aluminum. All the panels are aluminum. The camper also has a "locker" on the outside for gear storage and a cabinet on the inside for food storage. In the pics, you'll notice that there is no floor. The bed of my truck is rhino lined and has a rubber mat. It is easy very functional, easy to clean, saves weight and allows me to not feel bad if I have to haul stuff around. I estimate the camper weighs 500-600lbs. The truck handles the load fine but I did install Firestone airbags with Daystar cradles so that ride height fine tuned. I take the camper off during the winter and keep it in the garage.

I did design and build this camper myself but I am an engineer by trade and my day job is creating commercially available product for the MTB world. This is the second hobby camper that I've built so I worked out a lot of the bugs.

I am willing to sell the camper by itself or paired with the truck.

The Tundra has ~80Kmiles. I always change the oil at 5K.
It has Method wheels and 34" tires.
It has Bilstein 5100 dampers with a 1" lift
It has Firestone Airbags with Daystar Cradles
Cool looking Cross drilled front rotors.
Rhino lined bed.

Camper Only: $9K
Truck with Camper: $45K
