We were not looking for a tiny truck-born apartment. We camp outside, and wanted the camper to provide secure & convenient storage and a dry place to dress and sleep. After looking at many campers & conferring with those manufacturers willing to make modifications, it became apparent that we would have to go with a full-custom build. We sent a long list of specifics to Robby at Coyote RV (aka: Phoenix Pop-up) and a year latter we drove to Denver to have our new camper installed on our new Ram 4X4 truck. Robby and crew did a great job and we couldn't be happier.

We do not cook inside the camper, though on rare occasions we may heat up a can of stew or boil water for coffee. Our kitchen gear is contained in two milk-crate size boxes, which keeps it dry, dust-free and portable. The boxes are easily lifted out and used with the external truck-mounted shelf, or carried to a campground picnic table, or even into a motel room. There is no built-in stove, icebox, sink or water tankage. We carry an icebox in the cab behind the front seats.

Interesting design, I like it. I agree with you, a built-out interior uses too much space, with too many frills. If I were to buy a popup, I would go with a shell model. Your side door access is another great idea. I'm building a canopy to be mounted on a flatbed truck. No cab-over, and the top will flip, like a Flipac or Wildernest. Both sides have an 8' door that opens upwards like yours. It's still in the construction phase, so no pictures yet.

Rob & Cari & Phoenix Pop Up Camper / Coyote RV are awesome! Rob can build you almost any thing and the prices are fair.
