Hello All. This is my first posting. After years of tent camping, I'd like to make the move to a truck camper, as I wish to haul my boat, ATV , or Jeep with me. I am rather limited in camper choices, as I have a 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 1/2-ton. What I am looking for is a pop-up that will fit my truck with no additional air-bags, levelers, etc. I'm leaning towards acquiring a used one, for financial reasons, but if anyone can give me a compelling argument for buying new, I'd certainly consider it. I would welcome any comments regarding type and manufacturer. Does anyone use the same type of truck I have? What's the best used campers to buy? What should I look for in buying used?
Thanks! |

This camper works good on my truck, if you can find a used one- it's a solid camper not a pop-up. I did not have to do anything to the suspension.

Hi There, Just so you know I WORK AT COYOTE RV, makers of PHOENIX POP UP TRUCK CAMPERS. So, yes, please do take my opinion with a "grain of salt." That being said, if you don't find just what you want in the used camper market, please do go to our web site www.coyoterv.biz and send in a "U build it" response, with a simple list of what you would like on your camper. You might find that you can get a brand new, custom built camper, with just what you want on it, for a very reasonable price! It's free to take a look anyway. Thank You, and I do hope you find just what you need and want! Rob
