TC with truck bed storage

I'm looking for a camper that does not dip into the truck bed area ( which I would like to use for storage). Does such a thing exist? I'm guessing its pretty rare since I can't seem to find one, but maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.

Some background: I need to store large art canvases with oil paint and all the associated chemicals that go along with it in the bed. I've considered a pull behind TT but that would limit the places I can reach. I would also like to retain the hitch receiver so I can put my motorcycle on the back of the truck. I'm not looking to live in the camper full time so maybe a bed mounted tent is what I'm after. I just need it for 1-2 week excursions with room for two. Any advice would be appreciated!

So its not a problem for the camper to sit a little higher on top of that box? If so that looks like a good solution.

I was hoping for something with more room than that. I really like the idea of a TC, I just need storage outside of the camper (because of the chemicals).

I bought a camper with quite a bit of storage. I also have a crew cab and use the back for storage. If I needed more I guess the next step would be a cargo trailer.

Closest thing I've seen to that is a tent on top of a sled deck, not sure I'd want to mount a camper on top of one though.

That was the idea in my head. You'd lose some head room I guess but gain storage.


There are campers with very large basements.


Ah, that might be the ticket if I can find one with a fairly large storage area.
