Hello fellow adventurers and explorers!
I’m putting back up for sale my custom, homemade pop-up truck camper designed for a 2nd gen Tacoma with a 6ft bed. The camper was a labor of love built by me over the course of about 6 months during 2020. My design goals were to create a system that was lightweight, sturdy, highly insulated and aesthetically pleasing. Since its completion I’ve used it on many an adventure and it has proven itself a comfortable and dependable shelter for me and my dogs.
Unlike most other wedge campers I opted to make the expanding wedge walls solid as opposed to canvas/fabric, giving the added benefit of improved sound and weather insulation and an overall greater sense of security. The construction is primarily 2” thick EPS foam and fiberglass composite panels secured to a wooden frame (wedge walls are 1” thick). The outside is coated in 3 layers of marine topside paint. I don’t have an accurate weight for it but my best guess is somewhere around 300-350lbs. It’s secured to the truck using regular truck cap clamps.
Features:
I’m selling the camper because I have mounting school expenses and less and less time to use it. I feel guilty having it sit in my driveway when I know someone could and should be enjoying it!
Pricing is negotiable and I’m open to offers. I’m not trying to turn a profit on this and would prefer to find a buyer who I know will use and cherish it as I have. Hit me up if you have any questions or concerns and we’ll go from there. Located in Albuquerque/Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Thanks!
