Lighter weight camper options
I've been thinking about getting a light weight camper for my Ram 2500 with 8' box and have considered the Grandby in the link below. I'd like to be able to get off the beaten path and this would fit ...

I think I'm the only one here with a FWC.

Great info. Esp expeditionportal. Thanks.
Still looking guys. Any other models not mentioned so far?
The Outfitter Apex 8 for a longbed truck is close...so is the Northstar 850SC. The latter would be my preferred so far if I could get it with an east/west bed. Issue with the Apex is the overhang part is soo tall. So far, nothing is perfect. The Palomino's are priced right but only hold 16 gallons of water...and their website is terrible and provides little in the way of details....and I wonder if they'd hold up.
Ideally, the TC would have 25-30 gallons fresh, water heater, 2nd bed over 6' long (6'6" would be perfect), grey tank, toilet (casette could work) and inside shower (so my wife will come along at least sometimes), microwave, fridge, single sink. Oh....and not weight a ton when dry.
Hallmark Ute is also close, but the look of the 2 windows down low on the passenger side just turns me off, and they are pricey
Any more ideas?
Thanks.
