History

 

Also called slide-ins or cab-overs, truck campers, like most types of recreational vehicle, have their roots in the mid-20th century. They aren’t like a traditional RV in that they don’t have wheels of their own; a truck camper is designed as a unit that slides into the bed of a pickup truck, providing compact living quarters accessible via a rear door. These units are removable and are held in place during camping with stabilizer jacks. They appeared in Michigan and California as a more affordable and smaller alternative to traditional towables or motorhomes. 

 

During the 1970s and 1980s, truck campers became significantly more popular. Models were specifically designed to suit certain truck brands like Datsun or Toyota. In recent years, truck campers have significantly increased in size as trucks themselves have gotten bigger. They’re one of the most versatile styles of RV available due to their extreme portability and affordability.

 

Features

 

Your average truck camper provides you with the basic essentials without any bells and whistles. Traditionally, a truck camper might only have had space for a bed and some storage, but technological advances have allowed manufacturers to fit their truck campers with small wet baths, compact kitchenettes and even entertainment options like TVs. Most models will have space for two sleepers, with some providing room for a third camper.

 

Truck campers are designed to be comfortable and secure, elevating you off the ground and keeping you shielded from the outside elements. You’ll be able to store all of your necessities in the storage spaces, cook meals and enjoy them in a dinette and attend to hygiene needs in the bathroom. These features are why so many intrepid adventurers love the convenience provided by truck campers!
