I am currently building my own truck camper from scratch because the price of these things is insane! I have a travel trailer but I would also like to tow my boat down to Florida so a truck camper is my best option without having to buy another vehicle like a Van or RV.
I have 2009 small tree branches failing in to the roof and side wall I want to know if someone can fix it o much better sale it for parts as is thanks guys
After 20 yeas eperience with mobile homes, trailers and campers, this the best for me and the wife. Very light for my 1/2 ton. I plan to buy this in the spring. $16000 is a steal
I've had one of these types of campers and what I liked about it is : 1. I don't have to worry about navigating around roads, parking lots, finding places with a trailer behind me. 2. Need to pull into McDonald's, gas station or grocery store? No problem. 3. I can make a U Turn. 4. I can go down rough roads. 5. I can bushwhack better. 6. I can be more stealthy. 7. Easier to pass, merge and change lanes on the highway. 8. If I need the back of the truck for something else, I just take the camper off. 9. I can pull my ATVs, or Dirt Bikes with a trailer. Maybe the price is higher because the manufactures don't make as many as they do trailers?
Anthony Marshall one hour? really hmm i'm having second thoughts. Have you heard of the laser way on here? Also, have you almost knocked over the camper by running into one of the poles and denting it or just bumping into it with cosmetic scratches/dents? hmm hour.. might be 2 hours for me then.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but why are these campers so expensive? "on sale" for $16000? One could get a single axle tow behind with a bathroom and more space for $12-$13k. I don't understand.
There is no way that camper weighs 1285 lbs. We had a 2016 Rayzr FK on our Ram 1500. For those that don't know, a Rayzr is a similar Travel Lite slide in truck camper only without any cab-over structure whatsoever. It was advertised at the time as 985 lbs. They currently show the weight as 1075 lbs. I have a Cat scale certificate that shows the Razyr FK at 1320 lbs so how can the same camper with the cab-over weigh less than the one without ? Don't accept advertised weights as gospel. By comparison our current Eureka truck camper weighed 1275 lbs and it does not have a stove, a furnace, a propane bottle, water heater or a stereo. It also has a small plastic sink, half the size of the stainless steel sink shown. And yes, I have Cat scale certificates for all 4 truck campers we've owned. I always recommend that everyone weigh their rigs new just so that they have a baseline to go by.
Unfortunately, I do not believe so, but you'd want to double check your truck bed dimensions. I believe the Tacoma short bed is only 60.5" which isn't long enough as the center of gravity on the truck camper would most likely be behind the rear axles creating an unsafe hauling condition. When it comes to truck campers, there are very few that are built for anything under a 6ft bed. Hopefully that helps and thanks so much for watching! -Ian Baker
is there an option for extra windows in the bed area? outside awning? i liked it but will iterate what somebody already said about the bed size. i just want to slap a fitted sheet on there, have it stay on and call it a day, lol.
@camping world. You do not have any 2018 or 2019' in stock in any of your stores. I reside in Las Vegas and would love to look at one of these and move forward with the process. Please get some in stock in your Las Vegas store.
Ricky, sorry about that my friend. Unfortunately many stores (I'm sure Las Vegas included) have an inventory cap so it's tough to add new lines. Currently I believe Grand Rapids, MI is the only location with these campers. That being said, I do know that they are truck camper experts at that location and can help you pick the proper tie-downs and turnbuckles as well as teach you how to load and unload if you're unfamiliar with the process. Thanks for watching and let me know if you plan to make a trip to Grand Rapids, I'll personally get someone to take excellent care of you. -Ian Baker
So what is the out the door price? After they add on dealer prep, paint protection, fabric protection, floor protection, extended warranty, documentation fee, shipping, sanitization fee, walk thru fee, storage fee and finally tax and title.
Jerry, that is a great question. Many of these fees depend on where you live (shipping, tax & title) and some states don't title truck campers at all. You will also want to look at tie downs and turnbuckles and include that cost in the out the door number. I recommend contacting the Grand Rapids, MI Camping World location as they are truck camper experts and can help you with an out the door price. Thanks for watching and happy RV shopping! -Ian Baker
The 625SL is built for a full size truck. However Travel Lite does make both the 690FD and 610R for mid size trucks. Thanks for watching and the question! -Ian Baker
ike fun really?! Get the fuck outa here with that bullshit. Yeah I’m a millennial but I’m sure not lazy. Served my country and I came home to be a public servant. So tired of hearing people say that shit. We all make choices in life. Don’t categories all of use based on a few who you dislike.
I think you may be confusing Travel Lite with Livin Lite (who makes the Camp Lite truck camper). Travel Lite has always used a wood structure to help keep a lower price point on their campers. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! -Ian Baker
Holy holy moly but where’s the dimensions of the thing first how big a truck bed how wide how tall does it sit once it’s on the truck you know need that stuff before we consider looking at the inside
Unfortunately not. To be honest, I'm not aware of any truck campers that are safe in a 5' bed due to the center of gravity (not saying they don't exist, I just haven't personally seen one). Good luck in your search! -Ian Baker
Too much camper for that truck (weight) even if it were to fit. 1,120-1,620 is the range in the Tacoma's payload depending on configuration, year, etc. Note that you have to consider passengers and supplies in that figure. I also doubt the unit actually weighs as advertised. Many truck camper owners complain about this. Dry weight is measured with the unit stripped down.
I don't see how it is that these nice size kampers have to have a big house size refrigerator and freezer. I like the kitchen, but kan't one or the other be replaced with a bath and toilet room? 😕
Too much camper (payload) for that truck, even if it would fit that is. The payload for a bt50 is 1095 max. Add supplies and passengers and you're way over your limit.
Last I checked, his net worth is about $10 million...mine is about $10, lol. You're not the first to say we look alike though. I get Tai Lopez a lot too. Anyway, thanks for watching! -Ian Baker
I bought one of these used. The electrical in them was wired by a monkey. I wanted to put lithum batteries in and had to rewire the entire system because it was so poorly done. If anyone wants pictures or help, I've got them.
I bought one, Canada $29,000 love it. Bought it for size and weight to fit into my payload on my short box 4x4. Has everything we need. I took out the microwave and take off jacks when on my truck to lighten payload! I do a lot of off road camping, fishing, hunting. It rides well, and I sometimes tow an aluminum boat. Don't need fancy expensive cabinets etc I don't need the brag option! 2 years on, still looks new, no leaks, no problems and use it for 7 mths out of the year! It has an outside shower (and hot water tank!) Portapotti can be set up in a pop up tent!
so ugly. look like my it was designed by my grandpa. is that the demographics? no one under 35 is buying that, unless it's one of those guys who want to be a "cool-dad"

I was interested in the taking off and on the camper. How long does it take and is it tricky? Seems lot of precision and stop and go?
@@janglee8523 loading my truck camper is a bit of a pain! However once on...much more relaxing cruising around.
@@anthonymarshall2508 how long does it take? do you just leave it on because of hassle? seems like it has to be perfect.. like cm to cm?
@@janglee8523 it takes me about an hr to mount it by myself. But it always feels stressful. It is a tight fit
Anthony Marshall one hour? really hmm i'm having second thoughts. Have you heard of the laser way on here?

EC Truckin exactly.....way more camper for the money with a towable....i dont get it either.
Me neither
EC Truckin I have a hunch that these companies are trying to take advantage of those who like off roading and camping at the same time...
You can get it to places you might be able to access otherwise.
You don’t have to pay for registration like you do with a towable.
I need one of this for a Toyota tacoma. Where to order it please?

I think they weight them before all the conveniences get put in?😏
Weight is bare with no extras. Everything that goes on/in it adds to the weight.
What do you think of your Rayzr FK?
I really liked that little white table and Travel Lite logo on the front of the camper! I'll take 2!
😆😆
Needs a dividing board between the bed and the sink, i dont want my blankets get wet.
J Stanley most people above the age of 5 don’t have that problem
@@thomash4950 bahaha
Notice @ 3:44 the Staples holding the second drawer front on are only halfway in ...cheap junk!
And at 9:05 you can see large gaps in the lifting jack plate seal, which would allow for water intrusion and possible wood rot.
I'll bet that warms right up in the summer
Would not want to be in southern Arizona in that thing
Curious to know why they didn't go with a single piece aluminium siding to make a smoother sidewall that would be easier to clean?
Marc Pikas Because of the cost. That option would be more expensive.
will this fit on short bed 2019 taco with bed stiffeners installed?.

My pleasure, thanks for reaching out!!

My truck is an 8 ft bed, would like to see more of those, with lots of head room in the bed area !!!
Will the tailgate close on a standard bed Chevy 2500Hd
is there an option for extra windows in the bed area? outside awning? i liked it but will iterate what somebody already said about the bed size. i just want to slap a fitted sheet on there, have it stay on and call it a day, lol.
Oh wow I never knew how awning was spelled until now..thank you!
Ugh, camper manufacturers for EFF sake make the beds standard queen or king. These weird sizes are just shit.
Yeah. It’d be nice to just be able to go to target to get a set of sheets that fit

Lazy ass millennial!
what's the minimum size bed needed, I am planning to buy a Crewmax Tundra, I always thought travel lite didn't use wood to avoid rust & mold

These usually don’t work with 5’ beds
You need to back the camera up. Too many close-ups and not a shot of the full interior
Nice! How much for this?
What kind of truck will this be compatible with,,,, I have a 2015 tacoma- 6 cylinder- automatic transmission.
Holy holy moly but where’s the dimensions of the thing first how big a truck bed how wide how tall does it sit once it’s on the truck you know need that stuff before we consider looking at the inside
Great. It fits a long bed or short. Will it fit on a Chevy 1500 double cab with a 6 foot bed?
You will have suspension problems from the weight.
Cool shorts.
What's the price?
Will that fit a 5’ bed in a Tacoma?
Unfortunately not. To be honest, I'm not aware of any truck campers that are safe in a 5' bed due to the center of gravity (not saying they don't exist, I just haven't personally seen one). Good luck in your search!

FourWheel Campers makes a Swift model for a 5' bed. Pop Up. I have their Fleet model and love it.
And for the tenth time You will notice these LED lights
You can buy a nice truck for 16 grand
I don't see how it is that these nice size kampers have to have a big house size refrigerator and freezer. I like the kitchen, but kan't one or the other be replaced with a bath and toilet room? 😕
Anni C yeah! Have you heard of compost toilets? Their popular with people that like going off grid. I don't know why these campers don't use em! 😧
Sorry, but a Double Bed is way more than 50" wide! That is going to be quite cozy.
Almost everything is Optional? I like CampLite but....
It fit for Mazda BT 50.
Too much camper (payload) for that truck, even if it would fit that is. The payload for a bt50 is 1095 max. Add supplies and passengers and you're way over your limit.
The mattress looks like a little piece of toast
😂😂😂
Saves weight not needing a toaster. Mattress can be slept on or eaten so it's dual purpose.

Since when did Markiplier start doing RV reviews

Too expensive that's why
I like this one
No gray water tank!
No wardrobe!
Was that a hickey on his neck not professional
Too bad it doesn't have a wet bath like the cirrus 670 ...i have an old Palomino 1986 pop up I need a reg-top lite slide in but needs a wet bath.
I bought one of these used. The electrical in them was wired by a monkey. I wanted to put lithum batteries in and had to rewire the entire system because it was so poorly done. If anyone wants pictures or help, I've got them.
It’s very nice
Nice
Very nice voice
😆😆
Enough with the HANDS FLINGING.
Im getting dizzy
, it's not a coach bro.
it's a drop in camper.
coaches have engines
Too many closeups. Doesnt give a perspective on space and dimensions.
Thank you for the feedback!
Junky looking probably built like grab
Junk.
I don't get the point of these campers
Cheap looking, no bathroom, priced too high, cheaply made.
Sorry you feel that way, Len. Do you have a unit you would like to see a video on?
