Kay, there are two Marketplace sections. The one that's closed has been superseded by a new, improved (?) version. Look again and you'll see the discussions it generates are in a section just ahead of the closed marketplace.

Have one custom built. RELIC is full custom.

No belly band, either, as it’s a 1-piece shell.

Thanks for the thought! I'm looking for a camper, though, not a trailer, and it looks like I need a molded fiberglass shell with Ensolite insulation.

Cheers,

I just noticed that you're in Seattle! I can't be indoors for very long at one shot (a few minutes), but would like to come look at what you've got one of these days. Where are you?

again, there's very very few choices of molded fiberglass slide-in pickup campers anymore. the few I've seen have been extremely expensive, such as the XPcampers, which are typically sold complete on a heavily customized 3500 dualy class pickup truck such as a Ram or F350. http://xpcamper.com/ they *start* at $120,000 plus truck chassis, they take the box bed off the truck, and replace it with a custom flatbed tray.

If she’s after a truck camper, what about a Bigfoot or a Northern Lite? Both all-molded FG, no?

thats right, I forgot Bigfoot makes a slide-in truck camper. just looked them up, they are in the $40,000 range.

looks like Northern Lite fiberglass truck campers run as high as $50000, although I see some nearly 20 year old ones on rvtrader for $20k, most used ones are in the $30-40k range.

these are all *big* pickup campers, F350, Ram/Chevy3500 dual-rear-wheels, for best results. I test drove a few large slide ins on non-dualy trucks, they seemed dangerously top heavy to drive.
