advice on lightweight truck camper 2006 longbed taco

Looking for a used truckcamper for my 2006 tacoma longbed 6ft. Interested in a functional lightweight camper its only for one person want to know what models would fit - any info would be appreciated thanks

 

Find or buy yourself a set of bed rail clamps. ARE sells them for I think around $100 then go find a 6' cap (or 5' if you have a short bed) you like and stick it on back there.

 

Thanks Steve but im looking for slidein truck camper for sleeping eating type of camper.

 

Oh, sorry.

Actually, I was toying with the idea to take the factory bed right off and put a Commercial Box on; why bother screwing around with the original box at all, just get rid of it.

Good luck finding something. It can be done and would be awesome.

 

Problem is the weight. Slide-ins are heavy, and top-heavy. Don't see too many on even fullsized half-ton pickups.
The old Toyota "motorhomes" were on the 1-ton HiLux chassis with duallies.

Best option is seriously a hybrid shell with the tent topper that unfolds when parked for camping. You have a full stand-up area, good sized bed, normal cargo capacity when not camping, and the aerodynamics and weight balance of a normal shell.

 

I've seen a Tacoma AC with a camper , I have a pic , let me see if I can find it , maybe get the brand name off it

 

Hybrid shell is the flippac isn't it? Full standing room when opened,just pricey.

 

i have a 22ft lynx prowler that it pulls just fine. Its a lightweight pull behind.

 

Here we go

Thanks guys for the info I found the best two that Im looking for All Terrain campers bobcat model and the Four Wheel Campers eagle model very lightweight and arodynamic @700lbs now have to find a used one I see they sell fast checked out wander the west forum.

 

HOLY $25,000

Their biggest models are over $40K.

Seems expensive for a bed slide in?

 

You will want some air bags for that. They help with overall weight and side sway.
