    Shitty photo but this is at twin size.
    I want to raise it up so I can widen it over the wheel wells and have storage underneath.
    I have a cab height shell too, so I don’t want it raised too much.

    Is it threaded where the wheels go on the frame leg? Grab a bolt and try it out.

    It might be I’m not sure. I’ll have to check it out. Would be nice if it does. I do know there is a hole in the bottom of the leg.

    I’ll paid $160 for the camper, $14 for new shocks and $5 for bed frame so far. I have some old pieces of plywood in the backyard so I’ll be well under $300 for a complete sleep setup.

    If not maybe make some space blocks, but I would use a paddle bit and have the legs sit inside a lil. More stability that way.

    This looks awesome. I just wanted something that’s easy to take out if I need the truck. I can fold it up and leave it in the bed and still have 90% of my bed space.

    My canopy is the same as yours and I’m in the same position as you.Ive camped in mine a ton and just put my foamy/sleeping bag on the bed floor.I want to build a platform with tool storage but won’t unless I get a new taller canopy with more head room....i wish I could afford a canopy with built in pop up tent but they are worth more than my truck.lol
