- In this video I give a tour of the Tusca Outdoors HitchHiker camper I've been running for the last few months. I show the outside, inside and discuss the research and development process we went through to bring the camper to the public. Hope you enjoy!

You’ve got an awesome rig for what you are using it for. Tusca is getting a great ambassador in you. Well done!
Thank you!
@@paul91103 came here to same the same thing. I would buy a used car from this guy.
Many thanks to my friend Caleb Martin for filming this video!
Friend just shared a link for this company and they do custom orders to fit midsize trucks. My Canyon with tailgate down could accommodate an 84"x55" camper. I like the minimalism , lightweight, and how it's simple to take in and out. I do like the truck bed camper with flip up top like the Project M but they start at $12K.
That is such an amazing setup I will need one for my 2019 6 inch lifted f250 lariat great setup my man 🤟🤙
Thank you! It's been awesome
Would love to see a 5’x8’ base that goes up 14” then opens up to a 82” width that would go over trailer tires. Then a height of 82”. This is all exterior measurements. Then just a gentle taper on the front side for the wind. This way your bed could go across the trailer above the tires giving you more room to stand up and move around. If they did that I would definitely be interested. It would be similar to a truck camper but for a trailer. I love the concept but want it bigger for a hunting party. Weight I think would still be under 600lbs. Which would not be an issue. Use the truck buckles and just back under supports and attach and lift.
If they did that, then they would beat the entire camper market. It’s too smart
@@diaperdood1 I agree. They have a great concept but need to grow to bigger sizes. I would buy one right now if they did.
@ honestly, if they built a cabin where you can also place it on the back of a truck. They conquered the tiny home market and truck camper market. It’s a no brainer
They do custom sizes 😂 check the website
@@powerstrokemaintenance they mention custom but I don’t believe the level of custom we want. It says length and width. Nothing of height
You should get a cot to put that sleeping pad on. That way you can be off the floor, have room for storage underneath where you sleep, and possibly have somewhere to sit while you're in the camper. I've already got mine all planned out. Hey, how much space is there between the floor and ceiling at the very front of the camper where it slopes down? It looks like about 24 inches. I'm asking because I still haven't decided which 12 volt fridge/freezer I'm going to get. I want to be able to have it all the way at the front, but still be able to open the doors on top. Will you measure it when you get a chance and hit me back? I liked and subscribed
Thanks for the comment. Front wall height is 26 inches
You could prop up a portable, removable wall to attach things to.
Nice
Are these campers paintable? For strategic reasons I think sky blue will work.
Yes
Are you still able to pull the covers on your outside stash bins on your deck system? Thanks for your videos. BTW, insulating the exhaust hose on your eco flow should make a huge difference.
No, you can’t get to the stash bins with the hitchhiker installed.
@@powerstrokemaintenance Thanks
Great video I love this thing can you legally log sleeper birth with the size of the Tusca I am looking to get in to rv transport and am not a big fan of living in the back seat of my truck have a great day be safe.
No you can’t log sleeper birth. But I just logged off duty and it was totally fine
Sooo,if my uneducated mind is right,this is basically foam board and a thick rhinoliner type coating? Do they do custom sizes say for example 8W,16L,8H ... will they do that?
I would use the tied own hardware where the bolts come inside to mount a shelf for both sides. Just use bolts long enough to secure the shelving then you could put the AC up there and be able to keep stuff off the floor.
Thanks for the comment!
What size truck bed?
6’ 9”
I wonder if anyone has mounted one of their 5' x 6' blinds into the back of a truck or onto a trailer? You could actually stand up in it. They could make a tall version with the camper windows with the screens, the vents, and accessory cord port. Just eliminate the hunting windows, especially at the front end. I would also imagine the hunting blind version on a trailer could serve as a camper AND a portable blind. One concern would be the type of glass at the front window, in case a flying rock hits it. Just my thoughts.
That’s a good idea! I haven’t heard of anyone doing that but it would give you the ability to stand up in it. I’m not sure if either of their blind models are long enough to lie down in however
What happens if someone closes your tailgate on you...?
Nothing. I latch and lock my tailgate when it’s open
@@powerstrokemaintenancehe meant if you are inside and someone else shuts the tailgate on you
Tusca: minimalism!
This guy: let's waste 30% of space for an AC?
When this video was released, I was driving 10,000 miles a month in the summer hauling campers for my job. If I wanna have cold AC so I can sleep at night I’m gonna use up 30% of space. Go beta spray someone else.
Oh hell, no what ifu are in a rest stop when someone decides to close your tailgate how the hell are you going to open the door to get out
If only it looks anything like outpost campers. Then it would be a better selling point.
Different target market
Poly what?
Poly urea
7'? i dont see any 7'......
seems too small, confined and limited as opposed to a topper.
Depends what your priorities are
That fan system is a ridiculous waste of space. An old-fashioned window fan for campers would've been fine.
Your comment is about as useless as a window fan when it’s hot out 😂
Why do you need to be in a truck stop in a pickup?There aren't enough truck parking spaces anyway.I hope you don't use a working persons parking spot.
@JohnLee-ud2gm
The truckers parking is always separate from the motor vehicles parking
I've been sleeping at truck stops since the 80s.
'Taking up a working man's spot' is unnecessary negative comment and truthfully inaccurate
@mickeymantle24 I've driven a truck for 34 years and see your type parked in truck stops in truck parking spots countless times.I don't need your affirmation.
@JohnLee-ud2gm
Thank you for your thoughts!
Once again, yet another completely unnecessary negative comment on u tube.
Keep on truckin! 👍👍👍 🚚
@@JohnLee-ud2gm
BTW. "My type" is 40+ years construction, mostly masonry
The easiest job on ANY construction site is the truck driver making the delivery.
Horrible video unless u need a lesson on tiedowns!
I don’t follow 😂
He clearly only watched about the first minute.
Great concept, only issue is it looks terrible. Also, how is this better than my topper?
Ya it certainly isn’t a looker 😂
@@ronisom1714 it seems like it will be better insulated than a Topper so it's warmer and if you are at a noisy truck stop or Campground it will be quieter inside and it seems like it's nice and waterproof
@@ronisom1714 this is easily much more affordable than a topper camper
