Wildernest Camper Canopy?

These are amazing if you can find them. I chose to paint mine with Rustoleum bedliner spray and its holding up well. I mounted picture hangers to pull the guts of the tent up so it wouldn’t hang. I also mounted a fire extinguisher to the rear using self tapping screws.

Its an older style camper. Made of wood and fiberglass it might be a pain in the ass to mount due to it being narrow. But its free.

 

Anyone?

 

id take it for free. its has a couple advantages especially on a sandy or wet ground.

but, i don't like the idea of setting up camp and rendering my truck immobile.

with a regular tent, i can set camp then drive into town for a beer run needed.

 

Wildernests are highly sought after. If you don't want it head over to expeditionportal.com and you will find a buyer in no time.

 

Nice thank you for the info.

 

Yeah man, wildenest are really cool. They are similiar in design to a flipac. I'd say keep it, whatcha got to lose?

 

Looks interesting for sure. So it's a topper and a roof top tent in one? Looks like you'll have to have a weekend lake trip.. you know for evaluation purposes and what not.

 

Yeah it's pretty sick should be fun can't wait to paint it I was thinking rustoleum bedliner spray or a semigloss paint

 

I wanna paint it I'm thinking color match it, semigloss black or rustoleum bedliner spray

 

I'd keep it and spruce it up like you mentioned. It was free and is good gear!

 

Keep it for sure. Maybe you'll catch the overlanding bug like I did. God is it addictive.

 

Well I have it mounted using turn buckles at the bed D-Rings forward and aft I also purchased some hardware from a shop the sells tonneau covers. The hardware slides into the rails where the cleats are. It took a bit of work but everything is very secure and stable. I can't wait to paint it should be fun. I'm going to go with rustoleum bedliner.

 

Setting up the pulley system used 2x2 so I can feed line through. I grabbed 2 pieces of line and tied bowlines. Then I had 4 cambuckles rated at 200lbs. I placed 4x4s in the overhead above the A-Frames for additional support.

 

I washed the canopy with a mild detergent then let it dry. I used rustoleum paint / primer with 02 coats then let it dry for an hour or so. Then I painted it with rustoleum bed liner spray. I came back the next morning after 8hr and it looks mint. I cant wait to reinstall should look pretty sick.

 

that looks good! after you get it back on the truck, take so pictures of it and the inside, too. i would like to see what it looks like on the inside and how it works.
