Third From Texas
Well-known member
Another option that is quite affordable is a retired ambo box. A 14' squad box can be made to fit quite nicely with very little overhang:

Third from Texas, thank you for taking the time to measure!OK, rough check with a tape is 7.6' x 12'
.Just throwing it out there...has anyone put a small pop-up camper in the back? The pop up would be sideways and the beds would slide out the side. Seems like with the bed length it might even give you a little storage/porch space on the back of the truck.
.Just to be clear I mean put the pop up side ways in the bed of a deuce/5 ton /LMTV. I think if you found one the right size and took the axles off it would fit nicely and still leave around 6-8 feet of space on the bed.
You wouldn’t have any clearance issues while it was down but you would have plenty of living space once set up.

.Yep.
I have pics of a couple rigs that did that.
I'll see if I can locate them..
I'll dig thru the files. I must have a thousand images in my build folders..
That would be neat to see!
I have an old Coleman camper that hasn't been opened in years.
Would be interesting to see the pix for sure.
.Found this one, but not the ones I'm looking for. I swear one of them was from SS. Seem to recall it for sale a couple years back.
But it's been done. Lots...

The small pop ups are really just a glorified tent.
I tent camped with my Harleys for a lot of years. My brother would have none of it, though. He said he did enough tent camping in Nam.I had a Colman pop up that I absolutely loved camping in as long as it wasn’t too hot. It didn’t have a/c. I camped all the way down to 0 degrees in it. My wife prefers the big trailer with shower and a/c but to me it’s not really camping.
