Truck camper for 6?

I can almost hear you groan and laugh at the idea of a truck camper that sleeps 6. But, the situations that I'd use the truck camper with this many people are primarily when we're camping and spending a majority of our time outside with only coming inside for sleeping and bathroom. Essentially, it would be a fancy-pants tent.

Before it's asked- we would have more than 1 vehicle getting to the campground.

But, I often camp where I would need so sleep 2-3 adults (in separate beds) and 1-2 kids OR 2 couples and 2 kids.

My druthers would be a truck camper that had sleeping arrangements, obviously as well as A/C, heat, microwave/convection oven, fridge/freezer, toilet with some kind of privacy (curtain, door, etc.), and sink w/ hot water.

I had found a truck camper that had a slide out and bunks in it that was pretty neat, but it has been discontinued:


I'd also prefer to avoid canvas/tent ends if possible.

  • There is more than one model of camper including those with multiple slides that can easily do what you want. Also, people have added their own bunks to go over the dinette supported by the dinette below. That doesn't even count the floor. 6 is doable in several ways.
