Phoenix pop up campers are better builds and offer better solutions like recessed wood doors and draws, etc.they will make WHATEVER you like:) although, these are very close in design and build too! I really liked the lowest model with the fold over bed mechanism..........would request that in the phoenix op up:)
@@sad754yt both have their pros and cons. Slide in truck campers are more maneuverable on sketchy off road mountain trails vs a trailer...but trailers usually are bigger and more livable when they are at camp especially if you have 3 kids like me.
Nice video, they are nice! I see another d.i.y. project for my old plumbing utility body 4wd drive! I have made 2 campers, tbis will be my first truck camper
Amazing, low profile, go most anywhere, no rock crawling for me though...Have only one issue with the small door...in/out bending over all the time...I have a Palamino with the full door, incorporated into the pop up with a fold over design....regardless, a great way to be out there. Just makes you want to get out there, seeing all that great product..Great video.
I am torn between this setup or a 4x4 van or an off road tear drop trailer. All have their pros and cons. I think I like this setup the best though. Thanks for watching
i like phoenix campers better ... for the same price they look like they have better design and materials not to mention electric lift and full shower/toilet inside. if you never heard about them it's because they do not spend a lot on advertisement because they just don't need it , they are that good !
I know they are built in Woodland California near Sacramento. I'm sure there is a dealer somewhere in the PNW? Give them a call. Link to company website is below the video.
Better is subjective. It boils down to what you need or want. Also what your style of camping is. Alaskan campers were invented out of the need to shelter workers building the Alaskan highway in the 1950s. If you need fast and light....four wheel campers might be a better fit. If you need a cold weather camper in windy areas alaskan campers might be a better fit.
@@mixflip you're right for what the Alskan campers where/are build for. But now a days people use campers all 4 seasons and travel with them all over the world. I follow a couple of those people and one thing I noticed is that all(including the ones using a roof top tent) they always have problems of having a good sleep when there is wind. Strong wind you will find everywhere correct? Plus if the insulation is good for cold weather then even better for hot weather or? I love both designs. Alaskan is a bit old skool with the leather mattress hehehe sure you can ask for other fabric. The only thing what I dont understand and haven't seen is how that seal works at Alaskan campers when it's down. Water sure no problem but dust how does it work?
Personally corrugated aluminum is so 1970s. Unless my truck comes with a corrugated finish it doesn’t match up well at all. Smooth aluminum or fiberglass nothing less👍
I would like it better if it weren't made in a sanctuary state . Not to mention it would probably be cheaper in a not so high tax state . In short that was my California rant !!!!
First off Slide in Truck campers... Hard sided or Hybrid primarily is a niche market and on average cost twice as much per square foot then other campers excluding the top of the line luxury drivers in the 6 figure & up bracket ... Ive had and camped over 50 yrears from cars vans,pick-up with truck cap, just sleeping under the stars cowboy style,..canvas tents & tarps to modern tents ,popup trailors ,tow behind trailors,motorhome and now have slide in truck camper. Depending on YOUR paticular needs and requirements. WHY would I who camp Solo & No pets want to drag a trailor that has to have its own license plates, tires, lights and mechanical issues when I can have the ease and versatility of a lightweight low profile truck camper? Im NOT gonna glamour camp in a fancy RV Park around masses of people plugging into shore power connected to the Internet blah blah blah. Im going camping places where it requires going offroad on rough terrain at times very muddy and a typical trailor camper isn't made for that abuse. Furthermore my personal hybrid truck camper has better view and more windows for fresh air than what i seen on this video...On the upper softsided pop-up part I have 2 huge unzippable screened windows per side.. In the front a unzippable screened window in the rear a FULL Size door and screen window...not to mention on the bottom hard side part of camper the glass windows on each slide open and are screened and the small screened window under the cabover sleeper slides open.. NO other camper Offers that view or ventilation except a pop up trailor .. But unlike a pop-up trailor i can access my camper when its down & use the couch/converted to bed and still have windows for fresh air and access to fridge and other things and enough room for potty action...In down position its great in between destinations for impromptu stealth camping on a residential side street or like at a Wal-Mart that dont have Rv overnight camping. My rig fits in normal parking spot. When the camper is down and clearly latched in closed position I never have had trouble with parking lot security asking me to move. Every camper rig has advantages and disadvantages.Before i got my slide in truck camper i was undecided on hardside or Hybrid. My main desire was having a great view in every direction when i was inside camper...as well as not being to top heavy.....unfortunately mostly none of the modern hardsides offer much in windows and just Put in A.C. Unit and assume your glamor camping in a RV PARK...and the older ones i happened to find was in bad shape..the few i did find in good but not even great shape was labeled as "Vintage" and they wanted 6-10 K for.

As O'Brien says it's niche market (that's growing). Simply, you can go to WAAAY more locations with a FWC than you ever could with a trailer and still have creature comforts. Several models, like the Hawk, you can have an indoor and outdoor shower, and cassette toilet. All of the models allow solar. Throw in a Clam screen tent like the Traveler and you have an outdoor living room. Consider the Zero Breeze air conditioner if you need summer time comfort. The FWC is just way more versatile.
Rob I am all over the place. I film off road vehicles, outdoor gear, guns, flashlights, packs, trade shows etc etc. I just film what catches my eye. I built 2 AR15 pistols over the weekend, got in a few more camping gear to review and I need to show you guys a cool drone I am testing. Time is my enemy. My day job is demanding since I'm an instructor.
I think I like the shell model so I can build it up myself over time....what do you guys think?
Just got a 1985 love this rig fixen this baby up now can't wait to hit the road/happy trails
...'here's your fridge, for beers'...I knew there was a reason I liked you:)
Gregor Miller gotta hydrate!!!
I like these OVERLAND clips - Good Detail - Look Forward to More & All Pop-up Brands
They have a great product line. Cool thing is they have their factory right down the road from me.
My wife used to work in Woodland. Its a nice little country town.

If it fits on my 2015 Toyota Tacoma than I'm excited! Great video!?
Mondo Gonzo the hawk will fit
Great Video! I'm ready to hit the road! Just need my Four Wheel Pop Up Camper!
I need one too!

Nice campers, thanks for video!
I noticed that the first truck has a toilet under the bench on the right side by door
Must be nice not to need an air conditioner where these campers are used. I need AC many more nights than I would need heat.
Great video
Nice video, they are nice! I see another d.i.y. project for my old plumbing utility body 4wd drive! I have made 2 campers, tbis will be my first truck camper
Ooh yeah, that what I’m talking about !
Flat bed campers or trailers with wraparound awnings and extra rooms.

Love your videos but you need to put a dead cat on your mic !
I really like your videos and I have decided to build my own offroad trailer and I hope to see at next year expo west
roger wixom thanks for watching. See you next year.
Where the heck can I get a flatbed for my 2019 PW?
Signed up for overland expo east. I hope you don't mind that I put you down as my source for finding the event.
Lol not at all. I wish more would tell them that!
2500 - 5500 FLAT BEDS TRUCKS LOOK LIKE U CAN DO MORE WTH BTW AND DO U HAVE ANY VIDEOS ON THEM ???

Daniel Timisan but they’re huge! FWC are meant to be light weight, low profile to save gas, and the qualities actually top notch.
Where do I find the 4 wheel pop up campers,I'm in Renton WASHINGTON, and am very interested in buying one for my 2012 Quad cab Ram with a semi engine
I know they are built in Woodland California near Sacramento. I'm sure there is a dealer somewhere in the PNW? Give them a call. Link to company website is below the video.
MULE Expedition Outfitters
1875 NW Poplar Way, Issaquah, WA 98027
is a dealer/distributer and has a few models in their storefront.
There was a cassette toilet in the first one it was under the side seat
Thanks. I noticed it later during editing.
If you put this is a truck can you still tow things with the hitch
My Name Yes you can.
what about the toilet that you filmed right after saying that. lol
wish he'd shown how easy/hard it is to take the camper part off
I have a 1992.22 R E Toyota pickup. I'm wondering if there are a pop up camper for it!!!
These guys make a tiny pop up model.
If you have the 5 foot bed, you're limited to the Swift. The 6' bed fits the Fleet. You can also swap out to the flat-bed tray and Fleet.
Wasn't that Ryan Erickson from Expedition Overland looking around in that 3rd camper?
Exactly what I thought.
Fun fact: The dinette in the last camper converts into a shower
I would like to know what's better Four Wheel camper or Alaskan campers?
Four Wheel camper I think is more dust proof or?

Maybe I missed it but who builds these? Palomino, Fleetwood, Artic Fox?
I like the K.I.S.S design
Guy H. It's in the thumbnail pic, the intro of the video, the end of the video and a link is provided in the description box below the video.
Tried to like , hand wouldn't light up
Thanks for watching
First one had a toilet
Yeah I missed it. I was moving too fast lol.
Personally corrugated aluminum is so 1970s. Unless my truck comes with a corrugated finish it doesn’t match up well at all. Smooth aluminum or fiberglass nothing less👍
Captndarty I believe they now make smooth wall models. They started with the woolwich special edition camper last year.
Everything is sooooo overpriced!
If they are truly overpriced they won't be in business for long. If they are just expensive to you, that is a different matter entirely.
You move too much. Focus on one area at a time.
You watch too slow.
@@mixflip buhahahhahaha fuck yeahhhh

Ridiculously priced. Who would pay that when you can get an awesome trailer for the money.

How are you going to tow your boat if you are towing a trailer?
Easy. I don’t have one😁
Am I on the wrong channel? Don't you have a outdoor channel?
All this RV shit is super lame.
