Guidance Needed
I'd like to rig up my truck for some weekend trips to lakes in the area that are too far for day trips.
I've done a little research and could use some guidance on the best route. I have an 06 Silverado 1500 5.3 4x4, with the standard 6.5' bed.
A camper shell is the easiest and cheapest option. What turns me off the most about it is that I need my truck for work, and switching between work and play would be tedious. There are also no options for air conditioning, it's hot in Missouri.
I like the idea of a slide in, the truck could go from work to play in 30 minutes, but it seems like the market is full of decked out monstrosities that cost as much as a small home. I do not have a need for an overhead bunk, a bathroom, **** tank, etc. Does anyone know if there are any basic bare bones slide-ins available?
