If you’re unsure if your truck will fit this camper, be sure to check the dimensions first. The Lance 650 will fit most half-ton trucks. However, you will need a platform and a significant forward spacer. If your truck isn’t a half-ton, you’ll need a three-inch platform and a four-inch forward spacer. Be sure to measure the floor length of your truck before purchasing the Lance 650.

Cirrus has a 4-season model

A four-season model of a truck camper is not something you can expect from a standard van. The Cirrus 920 offers all the amenities you need to make your camping trip a success. The 920 is designed to fit in a pick-up truck that weighs one ton and has an eight-foot bed. It also features plenty of storage and a full-size bathroom. It also features an ALDE (r) hydronic central heating system and is built with quality craftsmanship.

The nuCamp Cirrus720 has Amish-built cabinetry and an ultra-modern interior. Other features include a 33-gallon Nautilus water system and Bluetooth-controlled air conditioner. It is lightweight at 1,875 pounds and comes with full power and water/electric hookups. If you’re a family looking for a four-season truck camper, it might be worth considering.

Rugged Mountain has a dry bath

Rugged Mount is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a quality camper truck. Its dry weight is 3140 pounds and its overall length is 15 feet 11 inches. It also comes with dual 5-gallon tanks for liquid propane gas. The kitchen has all the bells & whistles.

Arctic Fox has a hallway

Although you might not consider a truck camper to be a home away from home, they are a great alternative. The best ones offer similar features at a lower price. The Arctic Fox 865 features a hallway that runs between the main living area (cabover) and the hallway, which creates three separate rooms with a wet bathroom. This truck camper’s only drawback is the hallway. But the great thing is that you can still enjoy your cabover.

The main bedroom is located behind your dinette-kitchen while the bathroom is to the rear. This way, you’ll have more room to walk around. You can either use a wireless remote control or a traditional control to operate the dinette slideout. The interior has cathedral-arched ceilings which add sophistication and space. This truck camper weighs in at 3,411 pounds. It will fit most standard trucks.

Can a 1/2 Ton Truck Carry a Camper?

For a one-ton truck, you will need to decide whether you want a dually or single-rear-wheel. Ford and Ram no more offer short-bed dually options. Short bed dual rear wheel trucks require careful measurements and fitment considerations. The decision also depends on how much weight your camper will weigh when fully loaded. So, take a moment to think about these factors before you purchase a truck.

Cirrus 670

The Cirrus 670 is one of the most popular options for truck campers. This truck trailer is lightweight thanks to its aluminum and kisaboard structure. The outside dividers are made of fiberglass or azdel. It has plenty of storage space for all of your essential items and is very durable. Although most truck campers aren’t capable of carrying a full truck load, the Cirrus670 can carry up to half a ton.

Lance 650

The interior weight of the Lance650 for 1/2 ton trucks is 2,181 lbs when it comes with all its options. It comes with a full propane tank and water tank. The weight of the battery is not included, which adds 65 pounds to the weight of the Lance 650’s predecessor. The 650 has a floor length of six feet 10 inches. It sleeps three comfortably and has all the necessary amenities to make your trip comfortable.

Four-wheel camper

Four Wheel campers are lightweight, open-air travel trailers. It doesn’t have any upper cabinets and comes with a small refrigerator. It also comes equipped with two ten-pound propane tanks. These tanks are lighter to transport and can be used in place of the 20-pound vertical ones. A 1/2 ton truck can easily haul this camper and is a great match for a small family on the road.

Capri

The Capri RV features a standard floor plan with a forward-facing dinette. The kitchen has a single basin stainless sink, a flush-mount propane cooktop with two burners, microwave and a Dometic refrigerator measuring three cubic feet. A hollow middle cabinet underneath the counter adds additional storage space. Its east-west configuration and optional snap-on blackout shades add comfort and insulation.

Nissan Titan

Although most people believe that a Nissan Titan half-ton truck can’t tow a camper trailer, that is incorrect. The Titan is a capable half ton truck that can tow a camper, though there are some limitations to its payload. Half-ton pickups have a payload limit of 1500 pounds. This would severely limit the Titan’s ability to tow campers.
