Chassis-Mount Camper
A camper that bolts directly to the truck's frame rails rather than sitting in the bed. Chassis-mount campers require removing the truck bed entirely and offer the most secure mounting possible with no shifting during off-road travel. This is a permanent or semi-permanent installation, unlike removable slide-in campers. They're common on one-ton and commercial chassis trucks built for expedition use.
