I have a flip pac topper/tent/camper that is wonderful. I'm sorry but I can't post a photo at this time. It is basically a topper that fits on the back of a pickup truck (I have a Nissan Frontier Longbed). The roof of the topper flips on a hinge located behind the cab and becomes a tent that stretches the whole length of the truck. It has a queen size bed in it, 2 lights inside and a pass through window. You can stand up in the truck bed part of it and the bed is over the cab and front hood. It takes about 1 minute to set up. When you flip the roof over the tent opens with it as it is attached.
If you like tent camping but get tired of all of the setup this is for you. Since it is a topper also it is great for keeping your gear dry.

| That's all there is to it. This view was taken outside of the tailgate. There is enough headroom to stand up and there is a mattress on the top part (that is over the hood). Attachment: DSC00221.JPG (Downloaded 35 times)

Hey your back I was beginning to think you forgot about us. I think that camper is the coolest.

| This is a view of the mattress taken from standing up inside of the truck bed. The whole thing takes only a minute or so to set up. I HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone who travels/camps alot and is tired of the setup/takedown part of camping. There is enough room in here for me, my husband and our son to sleep inside. Sometimes we bring the laptop computer and plug it into the cigarette lighter, run the cord through the sliding window, set up a comfortable area in the bed of the truck and watch movies. This has been really nice when we have camped in massive rain storms where others have been flooded out of their tents! Attachment: DSC00222.JPG (Downloaded 34 times)

| That is so cool!! I once tried to view one online but they didn't provide nearly as detailed pictures as yours. Did you buy your camper locally or did you have to special order it?

| I actually found mine in the Auto Trader. It was for sale with the truck and I think I paid around 14K for them together. I was told by the previous owner that the Flip Pacs run around $3500 or so. They also make them for large trucks also. When I saw it in the Auto Trader I thought - Wow this would be perfect for me as I camp alot when I go out to vend at festivals, and I could store my stuff in the back instead of having to unpack it all the time. I didn't think my husband would go for it but he surprised me and thought it would be great for the family also. We use it quite a bit and have gotten very spoiled.
