This truck camper was so cheap from the start that I figured I would try it out, see how functional it will be and where things need to change. I want to use the space under the "duck bill" portion to relocate the air cans and batteries so they are up a little higher off the road and out of harms way. As well as space for another water tank. The space under the camper that normally would clear the wheel wells on a truck will be closed in with traditional metal tool box style doors for more storage space. I would like to keep an open pass through under the front for storage of large/bulky items like coolers and bikes. I don't mind the idea of a rear exit door, I have plans drawn that will allow for an oversized "tail gate" made from steel grate that will act as a "porch" when folded down, with the support legs sliding out from the frame of the truck so nothing has to touch the ground but the steps.
I have been keeping an eye out for the "unique" types of campers that would fit this truck better, but keep coming to the same conclusion. They are to far away, too expensive, or both. I am confident that if this works well, I will do a set up with an all fiberglass camper like the "Big Foot" brand, or look to four wheel pop ups or phoenix customs for a flatbed version. All this will be best facilitated of course once I retire from active an have some time of my own to work on my projects though.
