Small Truck Camper

[06honda]

I just came across this model of truck camper today Rayzr, never realized that made them this size. They come in 3 models and apparently will fit on just about any pickup truck. Does anyone think this would work in a Honda Ridgeline truck.

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.

Look at the side profile of your cargo area, the slope pretty much precludes fitting a camper unless custom built. It also does not have adequate payload capacity.

I would go directly to mfgs site-
armed with your rigs capacities and box size, see what fits.

They make small light campers. Mounted thru floor I think.
I also was of the opinion the ridge wasnt really meant to carry any load. SUV with an open rear?
Contacting companies, they should be more than able to spec what you need as far as vehicle

a Ridgeline is not really a "pick-up truck" because i believe it has a continious body line from fron to back... but more over I have never heard of a tie-down system for a Honda R-line. There needs to be a separation between cab and bed for the Happi-Jac setup or an underslung frame type a la Tork-Lift.
