Types of Truck Bed Campers

From ultralight shell canopies to full-featured chassis-mount campers, there's a truck bed camper for every truck and every adventure.

Shell / Canopy

Basic truck cap/canopy that covers the bed. No built-in living amenities — the starting point for DIY builds.

100–300 lbs$1,500–$8,000
3 models →

Pop-Up (Soft-Side)

Low-profile when driving, with fabric/canvas walls that pop up for standing height at camp. Best balance of weight and livability.

200–800 lbs$5,000–$30,000
14 models →

Wedge

Sloped hard roof design that's taller at the rear. Good aerodynamics and snow shedding, with some standing room at the back.

300–700 lbs$8,000–$25,000
11 models →

Pop-Up (Hard-Side)

Hard walls with a roof that raises for standing height. Better insulation than soft-side but heavier.

500–1,500 lbs$15,000–$45,000
10 models →

Hard-Side (No Slide)

Fixed hard walls with full standing height. No slide-out. Durable but heavier — typically needs a 3/4 ton or 1-ton truck.

1,000–2,500 lbs$20,000–$50,000
43 models →

Hard-Side (Single Slide)

Hard-side camper with one slide-out section for extra living space. Needs a heavy-duty truck.

2,000–4,000 lbs$30,000–$70,000
8 models →

Hard-Side (Multi Slide)

Hard-side camper with multiple slide-outs. Maximum living space but heaviest option — requires a 1-ton truck.

3,000–5,500 lbs$40,000–$90,000
4 models →

Flatbed

Designed for flatbed trucks. More floor space since no wheel wells, but requires truck bed removal.

1,500–4,000 lbs$25,000–$80,000
8 models →

Chassis Mount

Permanently mounted to the truck chassis. Largest and heaviest option — essentially a motorhome on a truck frame.

3,000–8,000 lbs$50,000–$150,000
