Lightweight, 6'5 Headroom, shower, 90's-2010's, suggestions?
I would appreciate ANY suggestions on specific models/brands to keep an eye out for- used, affordable, OLDER campers... with at least 6'4 /~194cm headroom (interior height).
I would strongly prefer NO basement (don't need big tanks) and something without a slideout. Will be hauling it on a 3500 dually now (with flip out brackets)- but honestly, definitely want to downsize truck significantly in the future -so something as compact/light as possible ("1/2 ton capable" or at least shortbed with tailgate down) ---that still checks off these boxes would be a significant bonus, as in we would hold onto it long term instead of temporarily..
-6'5+ headroom
-bathroom/inside shower
-no basement, ideally
No real brand preferences & have started our search- been looking up a bunch of different options but not always finding headroom readily listed in specs.. have gone to look at 1 or 2. Of course I understand maintenance/upkeep most important. . Want to keep it under say $10k- some projects ok/expected of course... Although it's been awhile since I've had a truck camper, I'm not a total newbie - many years in an adjacent marine service industry. So very mechanically/DIY minded.
If you have any specific recommendations, general brand trends, or other relevant thoughts I'd greatly appreciate your response. thanks in advance!
