More convenient and cost-effective than a large motorhome, the pickup camper is quickly becoming a preferred alternative in camping circles. With modern, lightweight designs, they slip onto the back of a pickup truck and offer space, comfort, and protection for a fraction of the price.
If you are new to pickup truck campers, the choice and range can be daunting. Luckily, we have picked out our favorite camper models below and arranged them in handy to read notes, to help you select the best model.

This van is a lot of camper, with a gigantic fifty-two inches of floor width. The whole cab room contains a dinette and cab over area that has easy access due to the raised floor. This also allows for a large slide out storage area.

The vehicle can hold 45 gallons of freshwater, a 27-gallon grey tank, and a 22-gallon capacity black tank.
The Camp Crown is a mean looking machine thing, deliberately reminiscent of a black ops military vehicle. However, it is a quirky and well designed double cab camper that houses a lot of space in a lightweight design. It has a smart, modern look with clean and striking colors.
Using a pop-up roof, the design quickly unfolds to give more accessibility, allowing two people to sleep in the higher compartment. The seating in the main cabin can also be converted into a bed for two people. As such, you can easily sleep a family of four in it with plenty of room leftover.
The liner of the pop-up roof has windows that can be opened, with attached fly screens. It can also be removed for a real outdoor feeling. All this encases a spacious U Shaped dinette.
Other features include a small sink and a hideaway toilet.
