Truck Campers for Tacoma

Anyone know of any truck campers that will fit my 2017 4x4 long bed? Preferably with a bathroom?

 

Hard side or pop up? How much of a bathroom? You’re extrmeely limited with what a Tacoma can carry, only about 1000lbs max once you have a driver in the truck and even less if you’re bringing a few other people or pets along.

 

Pretty much any camper shell can hold a bucket.

 

I was hoping for a hard side with a wet bath.

 

I’ve seen videos of hard side manufacturers claiming that a Tacoma can haul their product. Every time I go check specs there is no way. The payload on these trucks just doesn’t allow it. Now stripped down aluminum one like GoFast campers are doable. But again the weight adds up quickly.

 

You’re going to have to upgrade your suspension, look at Four Wheel Campers, top of the line . There are less expensive / lighter options as well. Do your research, lots or research.

 

You need a new truck.

 

Wife and I love our Scout, but all we have for a bathroom is a small portable toilet. I'm not aware of any campers that'll fit a Tacoma with a wet bath. Even the old Northern-Lite 610 didn't have anything of the sort. Just nowhere to put it, lol.

Is the camper just for you, or do you have significant other, kids, dogs, cats?

Do you NEED a shower? We don't have an issue going a few days without a shower. On longer trips we try to hitup a campground with a shower if needed.

 

YUP. Used that with some pretty beautiful views in the past...

 

There are a ton of conversations on this subject found on the Internet. I’ve looked in the past, and the general consensus is that the Tacoma is just too small (in payload capacity) to afford many options. There are always those Beverly Hillbillies who will tell you that they have no problem putting their Winnebago in the bed, but really a Tundra should be considered. Or a travel trailer.
