I haven’t been around this forum for a while. It seems like the best resource for my current project.
I picked up this Hallmark for $400. Structurally it’s in decent shape but it had been infested by mice and after an initial cleaning it still has quite an odor. I’ll work on that some more once I get the camper fit to and secured to the truck.
It was designed to fit a small truck so it’s too narrow and shallow but I’ll attach pics to show the additional framing. I’m going to skin the frame with 1/2 plywood.
The camper is going on a newer Tundra with the short bed. I have 2 boys at home so I needed to push the length a bit for more sleeping space. Anyway I know that by posting this up here I’ll get some advice and input going forward. I’m looking everywhere and asking everyone about how to secure it to the truck. I’m trying to find a proper way to secure it inside the bed. I’m not interested in the over the bed frame mounting options. Costly and messing with a 40k truck for the sake of a $400 camper seems tough. Of course I don’t want to mess up that truck with a bad mount either. Anyway here are some progress pics.
