Post photos of your truck camper on this thread. Any photo with a truck camper in it is allowable; any brand, any year.
If you have a couple of nice truck camper photos from your vacation, feel free to post them here. But, if you have 10, 20, 30 or 130 vacation photos you would like to post, this is not the thread for them. Just start a new thread and post all of them you like there. If you would like to also post a couple of the better TC photos on this thread, that is fine.
This thread is for Truck Camper photos only. But feel free to post comments on posted photos.
Because this thread is very long, I will occasionally clean it up by removing the older posts that do not have truck camper photos and other off topic material. Also, please limit photo width to 640 pixels. Please do not post thumbnail size photos, they are just too small to see and will be deleted. Please post photos, not just a clickable link to a photo.
Please limit the photo file size to reasonable size. preferably less than 100k, but absolutely less than 200k. Large size files just take too long to download.

Just got this new to us 2021 Arctic Fox 811. Had been slept in 5 nights prior to our purchase. Maiden voyage after getting Torklifts installed. Absolutely love it!

Hey, I'm new here. I bought this 1996 Texson camper last year from an older couple who had kept it in nice shape. I did some basic maintenance and upgrades (deep clean, new battery, onboard battery tender, 100% LED lighting retrofit, etc.) and then built a subframe to elevate it over the fairing on my F650's flatbed, and incorporated fork pockets and lockable storage. The camper is permanently "tied down" to the galvanized subframe, and the subframe is secured to the flatbed with nylon webbing straps. When I mount it, I just lift it up with my forklift and back under it. The truck's air suspension usually runs 25-30 psi with the camper mounted, so it's a nice cushy ride and it doesn't hammer the camper to death. Total height is about 12'6" to the top of the AC unit.
I just finished de-winterizing the camper, and I'm getting ready to take a 2-3 day trip down to Cedar Rapids, IA this weekend. Looking forward to putting some miles on it this summer, although it's already paid for itself in hotel savings.
The day I dragged it home - had to bring a car trailer because it didn't fit on the truck.
The basic subframe, minus the sheet metal panels.
The subframe parts and ladder, fresh out of hot-dip galvanizing.
The tiedown strategy. (I have incorporated a spring-loaded rear tiedown since the photo was taken.)
Plenty of lockable, albeit not weather-tight, storage. This was a boondocking trip to a campsite way off the beaten path, near Duluth, MN. If you're going to drive a big truck 20 miles down a logging road, bring a chainsaw.
That ladder hangs on the camper's roof ladder when it's stowed. (I added grip tape after this photo was taken.)
Nice camper. I also like the modifications you did on your truck.

That's a nice-looking Jeep, jshupe. The wheels are amazing too. What specific rims are they?
Thanks. Vision Nemesis 111 machined, with painted rash ring.
Thanks, jshupe! I might as well add that to my shopping cart when I visit 4WheelOnline one of these days.
