Truck Camper Forum _ General Discussion _ first camper

Posted by: Texasbr Feb 27 2013, 11:43 AM

Hey everyone as the title says I'm looking for my first camper. I am a professional bull rider so i am traveling alot throughout the nation and need something to cut back the expenses. Haven't looked incredibly hard for what type i want but i know the basics.
It needs to last, needs to be able to sleep a few people, and needs shower and toliet, and doesn't need to break the bank on the price tag. I have looked at a small company called Capri camper, but doesnt have everything i am looking for in it, price tag is right but not so much everything else.
My next idea was to buy a empty shell from a company and do the interior myself, done a few horse trailers so thats not a big deal. Do any of yall know if they sell empty shells for truck bed campers? Suppose a phone call to a company never killed anyone by asking them.
What do yall think? any specific brand maybe yall can steer me to on with all that in mind from up above.
Thanks in advance

There's lots of information on truck campers on this site:

http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/

They also list a bunch of manufacturers plus get into details on how to select a camper or truck. I did notice that not all manufacturer's are listed here just the ones that sponsor the magazine.

Specifically you may want to check out LivinLite Campers. They have what you're looking for and they're all aluminum so no rot to worry about. Plus they're much lighter than your typical camper.

Hope this helps.

Try Capri Truck Campers. They sell a shell and will not break the bank.

Good Luck!
Tom
