Custom TC makers?

With other types of RVs, there is usually some company that can do custom work. For example, Phoenix Cruiser for class "C"s, Sportsmobile for class "B"s, Dune Sport for toy haulers, and so on.

Are there any custom TC builders out there?

The reason I ask is that I'd like to see about some relatively new appliances and items from Europe that are starting to make it to the US, and would save a lot of room in a TC. The Truma Combi furnace/water heater is one. Another would be Seitz windows, which are plastic... but are double-paned and do well for insulation.

  • As above, Northstar will do most anything, and they do nice work.
  • XP camper.

    Now that Thor owns Camplite, not sure they will still do custom work.
  • CampLite will also customize a bit.
    I had them notch back the floor to allow space for my auxiliary fuel tank.
    I also had extra cabinets installed and LED marker lights that I provided.

    X2 - I was just speaking with factory rep this weekend about a unit. Northstar also seems willing to deviate a build for a customer.

  • It's been ages since I had a truck camper, but I had a Capri and I know they are still out there and you used to be able to order one about any way you'd like so search for them. I also know Phoenix PopUp Campers do seemingly limitless custom truck campers. We know 4 couples with Phoenix units they had built and they sing there praises every chance!
