Thanks for all the input. I think I know what I want, now the question is how do I get it?

I think what I want is a 6.5' pop-up TC with a bed over the cab and two beds along either side of the truck bed. (no kitchen area - no tanks). Hopefully I can find an approved cassette toilet that would stow away.

Ideally, Id like to get a shell (like the Eagle from FourWheel or the Bobcat from All Terrain), but living on the east-coast, this doesn't seem possible/practical. Im guessing my best bet is to find a used model and strip it out? Anyone have experience something like this? Any suggestions on finding one?

Four Wheel campers just announced an East coast dealer somewhere in PA. Check out their website. I just purchased an FWC Fleet model for my new Tacoma. So far, I'm very impressed. The top bunk slides toward the rear to make something close to a queen size, maybe larger. The rollover couch down below can sleep 2 small kids easily. So, sleeping 4 is doable but it would be very tight. Just depends on your comfort level. I miss the space of our previous AF 990 and the wet bath but this camper better suits my camping style. Good luck in your search

Thanks, I was looking at either the Eagle or the Fleet. What year/configuration/bedsize is your Tacoma? Do you know what it says the max weight is? Id like the extra width of the fleet but not sure if the extra weight is worth it. I plan on going with just the shell and 2 couch/beds, so hopefully it will be light.
