Simple truck camper

When I saw this I thought it would only be worth while if they made it into a popup so it would be about cab height when down. Also needed to be lighter. Then it would be a nice minimalist camper for travelers that just want a place to sleep and make an occasional meal.

Who is this going to appeal to? The TC market is limited enough. Who would want an even more limited TC.

As an example, where are all the folks that were supposed to buy the TC that had double rear doors to let you drive your atv in?

I would buy that! It might be my dream RV. Did they ever actually get made?

They did...Fleetwood was the brand I came across in my searching...looked......interesting.

Used to see those types years ago called cowboy campers before big trailers with living quarters. Just a place to crash at rodeos after roping and or drinking and pull a two horse trailer. Still see one here or there. Not much use to us or anyone we know.

You know what, Cheryl, they do look a lot like those Capri Cowboy Campers. The other two versions of the Capri camper line does have a small cab-over. They definitely don't have a potty, sink or stove in those units and is only good for crashing after a long day of fishing, hunting or rodeo events. On the other hand a person can upgrade to the #1 or #2 package or even spend a lot more for the premium upgrade package and that's where the Rayzr fits the bill.

A Kmart tent would be a lot more leak-proof than a Travel Lite could ever dream of being....

Hell, even a large umbrella and a garbage bag would be an improvement over my 2014 Travel Lite.

just saying

This company has building similar units for over 40 years.

Capri Campers

I like the looks of my unit better, but it sure doesn't have 6 foot 5 inch headroom.
Plus it is a topper not a camper.(Disclaimer to avoid angry replies)


My truck WITH topper gets 25 mpg on regular gas! That alone makes it beautiful in my view.
Also note the driver is in the middle of my rig. Plus it has coil springs all around which means the best and quietest ride I've ever had even counting the cars we've owned.

Reminds me of the the old Mitchell Fishing Hut campers: no frills, pure function.

Travel Lite should be trying to improve the quailty of their current line of TCs before they start coming out with new versions.

Interesting idea - good for those who would like a TC but might someday not be able to handle getting into/out of the cabover bed.

Good alternative to a tent or truck shell.

The price tag is a deal breaker, though, at least for me.
