New Cabover Camper designed for DCFB (yes, I know that's an 'F')

Four Wheel Campers has come out with a new pop-up cabover designed for a 2nd gen flatbed Taco. Pretty slick unit if you ask me-

That's not just one of their full size campers that will fit the Tacoma due to it being a flat bed ?

 

Nope. If you check out the article, this is a complete new redesign based on the Tacoma. they're also working on doing something similar for other smaller trucks.

 

Cool

 

Hard to tell from that pic, and it could be in the article I havent read it yet, but how much wider is it than the taco? It would be nice for it to be about the same width.

 

love to see how the factory springs get along with it!

 

Looks like the sidewall protrudes 2-3" from the width of the tire.

 

that would be so assume

 

from the article;
"The base weight of the Fleet flatbed is 998 pounds. The Fleet flatbed at the Overland Expo was 1,475 pounds with an optional furnace, water heater, refrigerator, solar, jacks, awning, and two six volt batteries."

By the time you add gear, water (20 gal.), propane (10 gal), passengers etc you'll be 2000 pounds.

 

Fuuuuuuuu that's a lot of weight to have on the back. Where did the flatbed come from, is that something they make also?

 

Flatbed is imported from Australia and runs about 3k installed. (I'll have to verify the price, I have an email from the dealer on my work computer) They may switch to the Aluma flatbed but it's narrower and may not work with the camper.

They started a thread over on Expedition Portal forum http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/103933-New-Four-Wheel-UTE-Flat-Bed-Model-Coming-Soon

 

From the dealer's email: "The ute bed installed will be $5,000." http://www.fwcjh.com/

Alternative flatbed.

 

My friend owns Oztray truck trays.

Hes based up in Canada but ships all over.

I will get a quote price for a flat deck for you

his stuff is really high quality
something like this but for a Tacoma obviously


he can make tool drawers under the deck that slide out the back and tool boxes before and aft of the rear wheels as well as removable sides

 

holy balls thats expensive, looks like i'll be sleeping on the ground in my 60 dollar tent...

 

I have to say 30K for a popup camper is out of my range..... nice, but too much $$$

 

Oztray truck trays can make a standard aluminum flat deck including lights and a headache rack that will have all hardware included for a simple install for approx. $3500

that includes shipping to most places in North America

I will post a picture of a setup on a midsize truck shortly

 

Those are some sweet looking beds!

 

ya his stuff is super nice, all hand made by one guy

if you notice the white one has a cut out around the license plate, that a tool drawer that slides out the whole length of the bed that has HD load supporting sliders so you can toss a piece of ply or what ever and use it as a work table as well

 

I just checked out his site (what there is of it) and his stuff is badass. I see that drawer you're talking about and that's pretty slick.

 

ya i've been on his case about his site for ages, he's so busy making trays and accesories that he's not been able to get one up, i think its part finished.

He also makes custom furniture and decorations
