Looked at slide in campers this past weekend and found there is really nothing available for my Nissan (at least for what I will pay). *I have been looking over the Glen-L site (homebuilt boat and camper plans and such) and have decided to build the "Importer" because it is less weight than my payload capacity. Since well before getting married (since Fall of 1976) have been camping with my wife in tents. *We have gone through three different tents and I am simply tired of setting it up every time we want to stay overnight somewhere. *I also want a hard sided shelter for areas with bears, cougars etc. *In my younger days, I had run-ins with both while camping and have the still torn up pack to show for it. *Trying to lie deathly still (sleeping without a tent) while a bear keeps walking right beside me and then proceeds to tear up a stump by my head really ruined my sleep one night. A camper may be like sleeping on our sailboat, yes, its primitive but is luxurious by comparison to sleeping on the ground in the tent. Am going to go for simple and basic, not even any cooking stuff aboard or even running water or toilet (thats what god made trees for). *Hope to finish in just 4 months but am prob wrong. *Hopefully, my boat building experience will be helpful. Of course this conflicts with many other projects. *Cant start till the dog fence is done. *Still working on the Tolman enclosure. *Trying to put Lazy Jacks on the sailboat. *Want to sail to the Bahamas.. *Work has to fit in there somewhere. 4 Wheel Popup campers are great. *I think they make them for your truck, they make for the Tacoma. *Aluminum frame and the top pops up quickly. * My Son in law has one and likes it. Likes my Palominorv Bronco B-800 better, but is a little bigger and better laid out. They are selling them outside the state of Calif now. *Sacramento Bee used to have ads for used ones. *Probably Craigslist better now.http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/ You could probably make one if handy with a mig welder and spool gun. |
