Truck Bed Camper Build

1. Hey folks, in the design phase of building out one of these. Wondering, if I go with the 36" Wedge how high should I build the interior storage? The bed rails go up to 19" so that would be the max, assuming it doesn't conflict with the canopy mounts. I want to maximize the safe storage in there to protect camera gear and such. But I also want to be able to sit comfortably in the back and cook. I am 6' for reference.

 

Welcome to the forum

Check out this incredible build by @Tacman19 for some ideas.

Thanks for the welcome. Wow this guy is putting on a masterclass for camper builds! Looks heavy.

 

Thank you for that.

Just read that build thread, great job Zim

 

Thank you Sir. Unfortunately, sold that truck (they forced me to sell for 6k more than I paid for it 2 years later) LOL
We needed a truck to pull the trailer anyhow. Tacoma was only a 4 banger.

How much did that topper weigh?

 

Sorry for the delay. I think it was 350 final.
