Trying to build a truck camper.
    #21730021 - 05/27/15 07:35 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Im building a camper on the back of my truck but really enjoy the ability to slide it out and crank it up on stilts or whatever.

Like this http://ithaca.craigslist.org/rvs/5018289847.html

However it isnt actually called a crank up camper so I cant figure out the name. google fails me. wikipedia is even less helpful.

What are these kind of campers called? And how do I build this into the frame of my camper im building so I can use my truck on its own?

Any sort of help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Fucking awesome. Much love my friend. Looking at these images on google im seeing that adding stilts is going to be very simple.

Thank you very much!

or if you are really crazy buy an old trailer.. just a plain ass car trailer no frills.. and use that as a base for your camper.

we call them slide on campers this side of the pond, very popular for single cab 'utes', many use them as a base and explore remote spots with their 4wd. Just be careful excess weight hanging off the back of the chassis, has been know to crack on some lighter trucks/utes :thumbup:. Some will use airbags to reduce sag in the rear spring, this is counter productive and causes pressure points accelerating issues. Upgrade the springs/leafs for heavy duty and your all set.
