FWC Cajita

Info



The idea of a no cab over Four Wheel Camper is interesting to me, mostly when paired with a smaller truck platform like my Tacoma. (So I would be looking at a Fleet Cajita.) I am interested in hearing peoples thoughts on the NCO, it would be great to get some insight from the Alaskan folks who have had this option with their campers. In some ways it makes no sense to me, the campers are small enough already. But in other ways it is appealing.

So, lets have a FWC no cab over pro and con discussion.

Just my two cents. We all know that storage space is very limited in these small campers, but we want a small light weight camper so we can get to the remote spots we enjoy. When we set up for the night, clothing bags, bedding, light stuff, gets stowed in the cab over area. This makes the living space below useable and comfortable for us. We would have never considered a NCO.

After going through the process I am now I have one and final conclusion: there's no way I'd do anything other than get a flatbed and a custom camper for a small truck like a Tacoma. It's 4.7 times better and not as expensive as you may think

To be a bit more specific to this topic - like you said already too small.

Seems incredibly expensive for such horrific usability.

Did FWC prices go up again recently?

Well, the idea of a NCO FWC is fine, but it's not for me. Way too small!

I'm admittedly a teensy bit biased but here goes. After having a long bed camper on my short bed Ram. I would never go back. I see almost no downside if any. Escape angle isn't compromised and it's absolutely palatial inside. This was true when I had the Ranger on my short bed T-100 I just wasn't smart enough at the time to realize it.

I was thinking on this a bit after going to their site and checking out the prices. One advantage of a camper like this should be a lower price point. A thousand dollars less than already too expensive base models doesn't seem like the kind of cost savings that should be associated with such a product.
