    I need help to find a slide in camper for my 2003, 5 ft bed.
    What are my options I am ok with used ones too. Please help. I am using a pop up Maggiolina tent. Getting too old for crawling up into the tent on top of the truck.
    thank you all.

    I have seen a few Tacomas but not many with the slide in camper. I have also seen more than pull a small bumper pull type that seem to like that a whole lot better. Used ones I would just search your local Craigslist. Ones that fit a S10, Ranger or Nissan would also probably bit the Tacoma.

    Sarange, I was in the same boat with my wildernest topper a few years ago from getting tired of climbing in over the tail gate to get into it. I bought a popup camper shell from Phoenix Campers in Denver to save weight have more storage room. Then customized it myself. Here's link on expedition portal some other camper options not mentioned above. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/simple-camper-for-tacoma.199080/
