Camping options

Hey all,
I'm wondering if you could provide me with suggestions other than a soft topper or similar canopy, or a sportz style tent [with straps down the sides] that I can use for camping in the back of my Tacoma. Any / all suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

 

a camper shell.

 

I saw this on the freeway the other day. Pretty easy on and off and not too heavy,Those mounts are easily available too. Kind of pricey but a nice setup.

 

I use a bestop and it has seemed to be the best way to camp. I camp almost every weekend so I like the versatility of the soft top over a hard top. A few of my buddies use a tarp over there bed and bungee corded under the truck. One of my buddies uses a huge like 50x50 tarp in the trees and backs his truck under it.

 

Hi top shell, build a little frame/deck over your wheelwells so you can sleep the full width and put your gear underneath. Easiest car camping I've ever done.

 

Slide in truck camper...

 

That's the best way to go that I had thought of I just haven't done it yet!

 

Have you checked out the ARB line. They got some nice camping stuff.

I just got a slide-in pop-up camper (similar to the picture that Grammy posted). Added airbags.
Just in the process of getting the tie-downs done. In the front I'm using frame mounts. In the rear I haven't figured that out yet. I think the bumper is too flimsy for bumper buttons.

 

I'm interested to see what gets posted on this thread. I'm wanting to get into the truck camping as well; I think it will be a good way to get outdoors with my girlfriend.
