Small Truck Camper

Northstar now makes a similar hard side camper. Their Vista camper has a dry weight of 1260 pounds. When loaded with 20 gallons of water and supplies it is likely too heavy for a half ton truck.

Seems awful short, but that is what a lot of people seem to want.

Hmmm.. since my Denali is a short bed 1/2 ton, perhaps this could be a new option for me alone when I'm not pulling the trailer! I'll definitely check it out!

Thanks for all the great posts. Ridgeline is off the books, will check out the links provided.

In case you wonder why truckers stay 2 hr in the shower...

I've never spent near that long in a truck stop bathroom! That's kinda weird . How do you know this? Lol

Waiting lane.

Very similar to this local TC called Little Henty

First blush, I'd say not a chance, but anyone remember the Blazer Chalet or the ElCamino campers?
Of course they were body on frame though.
Yeah, I'd still say no to a Ridgline, although it would probably hold up for a while.

Agree that between the lack of Honda payload, lack of available attachment hardware, and the funny slopped rear part at the front of the Honda bed you will not be able to use a TC.

I've seen Rayzr at Walmart parking lot.
Very nice elderly owner was using it for between the hotels stays while pulling his glider all over the country.
I learned that lot of airports will arrange small airplane to pull your glider for really small amount.
Coming to camper, you can have almost the same in any SUV once you fold rear seats.
As Rayzr management says - the idea come from semitruck sleeper.
Truckers have showers at each truck stop for free.
Usually such shower is 3 times bigger than the camper.
