Hello truck camper enthusiasts. I am embarking on a new truck camper build from scratch, that some of you may be interested in. This one will be a little different. It will be a pop-up made of fiberglass covered 1/8th inch ply. It will have a curved one piece fiberglass over foam roof, that will be lifted by cylinders, activated by an on board air compressor. It will have full sized (6' tall, 4' wide) double back doors....Like I said, different.
I will document progress with a weekly YouTube video and plan to have this done by the end of 2014. Check out the first video that went online this week.

Part Two   

 

This one is a short clip showing the floor base. I coated the bottom with epoxy, so I don't have to lay on my back and do it later.

I'm curious to see it comes out as weight wise.
