have you guys seen these cool truck campers? Cost is about $500. Not bad for a rolling boom boom room.

Assembles in less than one hour? That's a LOT of little parts to get lost.

I had one....I couldn't wait to throw it in the trash after the first use.. It is the noisiest thing you have ever been in.. the slightest breeze makes it pop and thump.. it is a royal pain to put up and there are to many parts..
just my .02

Bungie cords, tarp and and an air mattress is all you need. I do it all summer long. But soon I'll upgrade the truck with that iPad so I can watch some movies.

Elkwood:
Air conditioner, Queen bed, fridge and freezer, heater, shower, toilet, etc
once you have a camper, you'll never set foot in a tent again.

Go to craigslist and buy a shell for about 500-1000 bucks. Always keeps tackle and stuff dry! Grab an air mattress or something and your good to go. No extra parts, no taking down and putting back up etc, etc.

Yukon XL/Suburban Take out the third row seat and fold down the second row. Major Boom Boom room.
The best truck I slept in was my Century Class Frieghtliner. Bunk beds, TV, DVD, CD, Fridge, AC, Heat, Computer, Internet, and Satellite Communications. Ten speed automatic, 400hp, and 1800ft/lbs of torque.
I dont think they would let me drive it in to the camp grounds though.

I am leaning towards purchasing a Four Wheel Pop-Up Camper. They are built in Woodland, are very durable and reasonably priced. You can take it into places you wouldn't necessarily want to take a regular camper. Plus, while driving it has way less wind resistance.
