So it’s a really good idea to securely tie it down so you don’t experience something that would generate a lot of views on YouTube.īut the way this camper is designed uses ratchet straps that can utilize the tow hooks that you commonly find in a pickup truck. A camper is cargo – and a heavy and expensive piece of cargo.

Instead, most pickup campers require retrofitting the pickup itself so you can tie down the camper. Until you’ve shopped for one yourself, it may not be apparent that pickup campers are expensive, but not necessarily for the reasons you might imagine. So it’s less likely to be affected by freezing temperatures, as long as the heating system is on in the camper. But nüCamp put this system behind an insulated door into an insulated compartment.

You’ll find the Nautilus water management system used in this camper in many other RVs and, in particular, in fifth wheels.

#CIRRUS 620 WINDOWS#

I like these windows for a lot of reasons, but primarily for the flexibility they provide. You can also open them and leave the screens and/or shades down. Those windows also feature integrated screens and shades. Like several other higher-end RVs and pickup campers, this one features dual-pane Lexan windows that flip up for air. However, it does a great job of keeping a space very comfortable without the dampness generated by a traditional propane heater. It’s very pleasant, but it does take longer to heat a cold space. This system is like some home systems in that it provides sort of a continual heat that radiates up from the floors through the use of glycol circulated throughout the system. On the subject of heat, this one features an Alde heater/water heater combination. One of the things nüCamp does a good job with is insulation, with this camper having heated tank enclosures. But that trailer has the benefit of five additional feet of length over this pickup camper.

pod RP-153 that that trailer is much like a pickup camper, and it is.

Key featuresīack to the camper itself, the use of space in here is really good. This number is literally more important than knowing what the vehicle is rated to tow, although, of course, this camper isn’t being towed. So, the first thing anybody should do when towing anything is know the cargo carrying capacity of the tow vehicle. It looks to strike a nice balance between a comfortable pickup-top shelter and a lightweight camper that rides comfortably on a daily driver.Then you would add the people, water, food, beer, pets and beer (I know I wrote that twice – you should see what a stop at Anderson Valley Brewing company looks like when we go camping) and you may be way over capacity of many half-ton trucks. The Cirrus 620 weighs a little more than the Scouts at 1,491 lb (676 kg) dry, but it also includes a higher level standard equipment package, with a fixed, permanent floor plan. In 2020, debut brand Scout Campers rapid-fired its way to a three-model ultralight camper lineup for half-ton and midsize trucks. There’s been a lot of activity in the lightweight pickup camper market over the past few years. Ohio manufacturer nuCamp fixes this issue with its all-new Cirrus 620, an impressively specced four-season camper that’s light enough to ride on a variety of half-ton truck models. It’s just not that easy to build a tiny home that’s both comfortable and light enough for a pickup bed. Given this ongoing love affair, it’s somewhat surprising that pickup campers often exceed the payload capabilities of half-ton trucks. Specifically, it loves its full-size half-ton pickup trucks, like the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500. It’s no secret that America loves its pickup trucks.
