5 BIGGEST TRUCK CAMPERS MADE IN THE U.S.A

For fishermen, hikers, campers, hunters, and everyone in-betweeners, the truck camper is a popular choice for its compact versatility for easy take-off and set-up. However, as the years go by, they aren't all so compact anymore.
And just like watching a powerlifting meet or a game of basketball, you want to see just how big the numbers go. In this video, we will be looking at and comparing five of the biggest truck campers.

Jeez lolol. I am an old crusty retired tow truck driver in the western part of this precious nation. And I have never stopped shaking my head about the rollover wrecks consisting of giant pickup campers mounted on tiny pickups... So easily avoided yet these top-heavy rollovers occurred sooo many times during the summer vacation months...

I was a dealer in truck campers and I can honestly tell you that these monsters need a minimum 450 size truck and even that is minimal and you will still need helper springs or airbags. If you plan to travel a lot the working life of your truck will be cut in half a high price to pay for an $80K truck investment plus the camper that will do the damage.

I think my 1997 Sunlight camper is much better when you look at cost per square foot.
I only paid $2, 600, has bathroom, 3 burner stove, small refrigerator, sink, and AC.
Two beds, awning. I added 2 batteries and 2 100 watt solar panals, for boon docking. Still under 3 grand on it.😁

The 2021Host Mammoth was my top choice for our 3rd truck camper. Originally I wanted to trade our Lance to a bigger Lance but the decision to go Host was made easy once we stepped into the Mammoth. Incredible FLOOR SPACE, layout, build quality, AND huge BASEMENT storage made the Lance 1172 feel 'old school' small. Artic Fox was a close 2nd.

Bought a Lance 990 in 1994 and still have it. We put that thing through the wringer with three kids all over the west and up into Canada and it has held up. It was the biggest they had at the time but nothing like the behemoths they sell now days with multiple slide outs and a two story staircase just to get in the darn thing. Gonna make one last trip in it this time all the way up to Alaska, planning to set out mid September.

Artic Fox is the #1 camper here for their amenities and 4 season Camper! Wow luxury at its finest!

The Host Mammoth also has an option of a washer dyer! That's why its my top Truck camper! How could you beat that on flat bed truck (for more storage)? Though i was surprised about how relatively light wight these huge campers are. Thank you Minds Eye Design!

The Northstar looked like a high school shop project compared to the others.

And with a 5 ton truck, you'll be all set.

5:50. That’s a fiberglass camper marketed with the Ford Camper Special (early 1970s). I think the manufacturer was Starcraft. Very ahead of it’s time and very unique for it’s day.

I own an Arctic Fox, I absolutely love it. Heated tanks, large fridge, bunk bed over dinette(sleeps 5 total), large 40lb lp tanks(in there own sealed cabinet on the outside and much much more.

This video actually helped me with my RV fever dream shopping; Northwood and Host join Lance, Peak, and Beach Comber on my list of camper manufacturers. I felt my beard grow during the interior shots and listing of creature comforts.

[brittneynottelling]

The Host campers were the best designed. They felt spacious and homey, where all the other rooms ones felt cramped. If you were staying and traveling for more than weekend trips, I’d definitely choose a host model over any of the others.

It's the Host Campers for me is #1
🇺🇲

I used to have a 1972 Coachman camper, it was only 9.5' long, but the front 3 feet where bathroom, wet bath, sink on passenger side, closet door on the driver side blocked the view into the bath from the kitchen. Dinette was raised about 6" for toilet holding tank, it was on passenger side, while closet, refrigerator, stove, then sink where on the driver's side. Very compact, and great use of space, with plenty of room to dress inside the bathroom! Cabover queen bed, and less than 2, 800 pounds wet.

Big Foot is the one for me. Canadian made. Two pieces of fiberglass with no slide outs equals no leaks. The camper cost too much to risk a leak rotting your investment away.

[eucalyptus]

Love all of them course I started in a tent to homemade camper on the back of the truck to a used camper with a backdoor and a queen size bed over cab table in the middle of the aisle that you could remove and the seats were twin beds, It had a sink stove over nice sized oven and a nice fridge that you put a block of ice in to keep it cold. Heater to warm the whole camper up. one vent over kitchen area and I thought we were living high off the hog! These campers are luxury apartments!! High hog living for sure!!

Fun fact about the Northstar STC- it's the only side-entrance slide-in camper that isn't designed specifically to be used with a dually pickup. To my knowledge, at least.

[michiganengineer]

For truck bed campers, something that would be EXTREMELY useful is what bed length is required for the camper unit. It would be very handy to know if you want to spec a 1 ton pick-up with a 6'4" bed or do you need to spec an 8' long bed.

[iteaminvestigationfraudule]

These are pure luxury compared to the 1973 truck camper I used to own
