Favorite Truck Camper(s): Palomino (that's what I'm looking to buy)
Type and Brand of Truck(s) Owned: 2015 Chevrolet 2500 DMax Crew Cab Standard Bed
Type of Tiedowns used: Palamino Bronco 1251 (sold)
Truck and Camper Setup: Going back to a Suburban, and probably a pop-up tent camper.



I've started this journey to find a slide-in camper. I think I found a Palomino Bronco 1250 that I'm satisfied with (around $4000).

So I have a few things that I know right off that I need to deal with:

I have to switch out the standard profile (14" tall) a/c for a low profile unit.
I need to get tie-downs to fit my truck.
I need to get a "cart" of some sort (homemade or off-the-shelf).

Any advice on keeping the cost of these things down? I especially think the tie-downs are outrageously priced--seems like each tiny pieces is $200 and need about 8 pieces.

(Sorry to ask about 3 different items in the same post--I know that scatters the responses sometimes.)
