    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    It's a pop top! I hadn't fully figured out how I was going to do the pop up yet, but over the last month or so I finally got her done. Of course not without having to fix a couple issues and while I didnt want to have the complexity of the linear actuators, I sure am glad I went for it... Oh...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

So I started today telling myself I was going to work on the bench seat and the cover for the electrical... then I walked past my awning ive been trying...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    Aaaaand to finally get y'all up to date... I attached the struts to the front and back using lift struts depot 44" 40lb struts, drilled a hole and mounted the heater putting the fuel tank and toilet next to it (these will all be covered by a bench). This is going to be a minimalist build with...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    So after my hiatus from the camper as I was feeling overwhelmed with the build process and figuring out the unknown. Amazingly, even though there are alot of different options to choose from in the world of pop top campers, I found there's only so many ways to do it and depending on how much...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    Thanks! I still have a lot to learn but have had some amazing mentors that basically have told me to just go for it and fix whatever I break as thats the best way to learn. With everything ive done so far there always seems to be things I run into that need to be adjusted or I wasn't...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    Once I finished the roof, I threw it on, added a seal along the lower lip, put a handle by the door that needed a 3d printed spacer to sit flush with nutserts in the wall, spent an entire day fixing one of the jacks I accidentally lowered too much and locked up, threw it on the truck so I could...

    Next up was getting the insulation, flooring and walls on. This was challenging without the use of floor jacks at this point but I got lucky and found a set of electric jacks for cheap that clearly needed work but the price justified going and grabbing them to mount onto the camper. I was...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    Once the basic framing was done, I decided to get to work on the interior, while trying to figure out how I wanted to tackle the roof. I also had to choose materials and decide the best route for enclosing everything. While I was sure I wanted to stick with aluminum for the siding, I had...

    Jsweezy's F150 Homebuilt Flatbed Truck Camper

    Once the flatbed was done, I had to decide how to go about doing the pop top camper and whether or not I wanted to have it hang over the cab and if I did, how much. I just went ahead and measured to the seam in between the doors and started the framing... Mistakes were made, cutting out and...

    That picture is the quick release tork lift fast guns for holding the camper to the flatbed. I was going to go with linear actuators, even ordered the control panel and bullet actuators from firgelli like 4wc has but ultimately decided to just stick with a manual lift system as I frequently...
