Overcab
The portion of a truck camper that extends forward over the truck cab, typically housing the primary sleeping area (bed). The overcab section is structurally the same as the cabover — both terms describe the same area. Overcab design affects the camper's total height, aerodynamic drag, forward visibility, and how much weight sits ahead of the truck bed. Larger overcab sections allow bigger beds but increase wind resistance and overall height.
