My Truck Camper Build

 This blog will document my construction of a slide-in truck camper. I am drawn to the concept of a small camper on a pickup truck that can easily be stealth camped or parked in a parking space without the necessity of  paying a fee at a campground, although that is always an option too.

I was inspired by Dave Mason who publishes a site on YouTube called Endgame Campers. He does not publish building plans, but he does make videos of his build with lots of information. The one I am basing my build on is his Camper 7.0. His videos may be see here: https://www.youtube.com/@EndgameCampers

I was also inspired by a build by Lyle Woods who built a variation of Dave Mason’s Camper 7.0. His videos may be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/@lylewood1492 

I will try to post photos with some commentary as I go along. If you have any questions I will be happy to attempt to answer them. Thanks for following.
