[Updated: July 2025]

1. Lance 825

The hands-down winner and a steady seller at Lance Campers, the Lance 825 provides the essentials needed to camp comfortably without the burden of scale-tipping slide-outs. The dry weight of this aluminum-framed, short-bed truck camper is a svelte 1,832 pounds, making it ideal for most 3/4-ton trucks, even when fully loaded. The 8-foot 6-inch floor plan of the Lance 825 features a gorgeous interior with cherry-stained cabinets, a north-south queen size bed, a full-size dinette, a well-equipped kitchenette, a large wardrobe, and a small wet-bath with a shower. Standard features include a Dometic three-way 3-cubic foot refrigerator with stainless steel refrigerator panels, a two-burner stainless steel cook-top, an Atwood 18,000 BTU propane fired furnace, a 5-gallon propane tank, and an Atwood 6-gallon water heater. The tank capacities of the Lance 825 are fairly large with 30 gallons fresh, a 13 gallons grey, a 14 gallon black. The best options include a 100 watt roof top solar power system, rear and side awnings, a removable carpet kit, and Lance’s own roof rack system. We’re big fans of Lance’s new exterior one-piece TPO nose cap, which gives the camper a sleek and aerodynamic look, and Lance’s new Easy Charge exterior charging center that allows owners to hook up a portable solar panel or a generator for quick battery charging. The camper comes with only one group-27 battery box, but the compartment can easily be modified to fit two larger group-31 batteries if desired. The MSRP for the base model is only $50,460. Available at top dealerships nationwide.

2. Outfitter Apex 8

The best pop-up camper in the industry, the Outfitter Apex 8 is a superb truck camper loaded with an impressive number of standard features. The construction of the Apex 8 consists of an insulated, one-piece composite fiberglass body and features an electric roof lift with a manual over-ride. One feature of the Apex 8 that we really like is the spacious, 80-inch cabover with a pull-out drawer. This drawer can be used either for storage or as a bed for the kiddies. Another thing we like is the camper’s fully enclosed, heated basement—a rarity for a pop-up truck camper. This basement houses a massive 44-gallon fresh water tank, a 16-gallon gray water tank, and a 16-gallon black water tank with an option for a cassette toilet and a whopping 60 gallons of fresh water. The bathroom is fairly large for a pop-up, too, and features a marine-grade porcelain toilet, a full-size shower, and a small sink. One group-27 AGM battery comes standard, but up to 600 amp hours of lithium can be added quite easily. Popular options include large solar power packages, an Onan 2500 Generator, a 7.5 cubic foot Nova Kool Compressor Refrigerator, and a Yakima Roof Rack with Ladder. Weighs 2,130-pounds dry. Made specifically for the short-bed, 3/4-ton pickup truck, the Apex 8 is also a very popular choice with off-road enthusiasts due to its low-profile, superb layout, and large tank capacities. Comes in short-bed and long-bed models. Looking for something that’s a little bit larger? Then you’ll want to check out Outfitter’s Apex 9.5 for long-bed trucks.

3. Scout Kenai

A revolutionary design by Washington-based Adventurer Manufacturing, the Scout Kenai incorporates a number of portables to save on weight. These portables include a removable Dometic CFX3 75L refrigerator-freezer with WiFi, a 4.9-gallon removable water tank, a removable dining table, a Yeti Goal Zero 1500x lithium battery pack, and a removable propane cooktop. Standard features include a 175 watt flexible solar panel, a moon roof with a screen and solar reflective shade, a four-person dinette with sleeper conversion, and dual 5-pound propane bottles. The best options include a Thetford Cassette Toilet, a Newport Real Flame 4,500 BTU propane fireplace, and a Rhino Rack Batwing Awning. Particularly noteworthy, is that the Scout Kenai can sleep up to six people when you include the optional roof-top tent, an unheard of number for a truck camper let alone a camper of this size. With a dry weight of only 1,265 pounds and a floor length of 7 feet 6 inches the Scout Kenai works well with any long-bed, 3/4-ton truck. Interested in a short-bed model? The company has that angle covered too with the Scout Olympic, which features a floor length of 6.2 feet, a dry weight of 1,081 pounds, and most of the features listed for the Kenai. The starting price for the Scout Kenai base model is an affordable $26,990. Sold at top dealerships nationwide.

4. BundutecUSA Go Away

A relatively new design by truck camper designer extraordinaire, Rory Willet, the BundutecUSA Go-Away is named after Africa’s famed grey lourie or go-away bird. With a dry weight of 1,860 pounds and a floor length of 7 feet 4 inches, the Go-Away was designed with the 3/4-ton trucks in mind though better rated half-tons can carry it as well. The camper is 7 feet wide, offers an interior height of 7.25 feet, and an overall length of 13.25 feet. The layout features a north-south cabover bed, a front dinette with bench seating, a kitchen on the driver side, and a refrigerator and a wardrobe with a cubby large enough to store a portable cassette toilet on the passenger side. The Go-Away borrows heavily from the BundutecUSA Cape, a pop-up camper for half-ton trucks that debuted at the 2022 Overland Expo Mountain West. Standard features for the Go-Away include a DC compressor refrigerator, a north-south queen-size cabover bed, loads of storage, a 23 gallon fresh water holding tank, a Truma Combi Eco water heater-furnace, an insulated skylight, acrylic dual thermopane windows with built-in window screens, a 20-pound propane tanks, and a group-27 AGM battery. What makes the new Go-Away such a compelling design when it borrows so heavily from the Cape? The shockingly low $30,829 price for a fully-equipped hard-side is a great starting point. The high-tech infusion in the lightweight, compact design is another. This makes the rugged, lightweight camper a terrific value. Sold factory direct at the company’s Raymond, Iowa headquarters.

5. Supertramp Flagship HT

Looking for a cutting-edge, lightweight hard-side camper with all of the amenities including the latest tech? Then the Supertramp Campers Flagship HT is for you. Supertramp’s monocoque structure consists of a 100 percent composite fiberglass/epoxy shell using a vacuum infusion process for an optimum strength-to-weight ratio. The floorplan features a queen-size cabover bed, a full kitchenette, a dinette and a wet-bath. The camper also features a quick-disconnect jack system for serious off-roading and a pop-top that raises and lowers using four electric linear actuators in just 10 seconds. Standards for this amazing, space-age camper include a 330 watt solar power system, 24 gallon fresh water holding tank, a 5 gallon grey water holding tank, two 10-pound propane tanks, two thermopane windows with interior screens and shades, a heated basement, two Maxxair vent fans, a 65L Isotherm DC compressor refrigerator, a pull-out exterior stove, a portable cassette toilet, and a Truma Combi Eco water heater-furnace.

6. Four Wheel Camper Grandby

With a floor length of 8 feet and a dry weight of only 1,200 pounds, the Four Wheel Camper Grandby is a terrific match for today’s 3/4-ton, long-bed pickup. The Grandby features a 20 gallon fresh water tank, a fully equipped kitchenette, an east-west queen bed, a three-way 1.7-cubic foot reefer, and attractive yet durable interior woodwork. Customers can choose from one of three floorplans when ordering a Grandby—a rollover side couch, side dinette, or a front dinette. For those who want more amenities, a cassette toilet and an inside shower can both be added as options, but only with the front dinette floorplan. Interested in extending your time off-grid? Four Wheel Campers has that covered, too, by offering a 160 watt roof-mounted solar system, a dual battery setup, an 85-liter DC compressor refrigerator, and two 10-pound propane tanks. Four Wheel Campers uses a proprietary tie-down system consisting of four, zinc-coated eye bolts reinforced with steel backing plates that are mounted to the bed of the pickup. The advantage of having a hidden system like this is that it not only presents a clean look on the outside of the camper, but with nothing to snag on it also works great for driving off-road. Without a doubt, one of the 10 best truck campers for the Ford F250. The Grandby lists for only $26,625, but don’t let the price fool you. This rugged, well-made camper can take you almost anywhere you want, and with its welded aluminum frame and aluminum exterior, will last for decades.

7. Outpost 6.5

Outpost Campers—a new Colorado-based truck camper manufacturer—hit the ground running with its one and only camper called the Outpost 6.5. What makes this modern, cutting-edge camper special is that it offers a very impressive list of features at a price point without equal. These features include a powerful EcoFlow 48 volt electrical system with a large lithium battery bank, an induction cooktop, aluminum cabinets, a DC compressor refrigerator, a solar power system, and an inverter. The composite camper is also propane free. The Outpost 6.5’s EcoFlow system comes with a 5,000 watt hour lithium battery bank (a 415 amp hour 12 volt equivalent), a 200 watt solar power system, a 3,600 watt inverter-charger, dual MPPT solar charge controllers, and a 50 amp DC-DC alternator charger. The entire EcoFlow electrical system is controlled with a touchscreen console with Wifi/Bluetooth capability for monitoring the electrical system from your smartphone. Both the solar array and the battery bank are upgradable as options. With a weight of 1,500 pounds, the Outpost 6.5 is designed to be hauled on short-bed, half-ton trucks and higher like the Ford F-250. Better yet, the 6-foot-4-inch length of the floor means that the tailgate of the truck can be retained and used as a platform for entering and exiting the camper. Amenities for the Outpost 6.5 include a 20 gallon fresh water holding tank, a portable cassette toilet, and L-shape dinette with a rotatable table, bamboo countertops and tabletops, a stainless steel sink, and four acrylic dual-thermopane windows with built-in window screens. A terrific value, the Outpost 6.5 sells for $39,995 and is sold either factory direct or through a growing list of dealerships.

8. nuCamp Cirrus 620

nuCamp’s first attempt at building a true half-ton capable truck camper in 2019 failed with the company releasing the now defunct Cirrus 720. But where the Cirrus 720 failed, the brand-new Cirrus 620 succeeds. The Cirrus 620 weighs only 1,491 pounds dry making it an excellent payload match for most 3/4-ton pickups. The floorplan features a refrigerator and a hideaway Thetford swivel cassette toilet on the driver side, a small kitchenette on the passenger side, and a small dinette and north-south queen size bed up front. The interior height is a shade over 6 feet 4 inches. Unfortunately, nuCamp designers were unable to shoe-horn a wetbath into the camper’s diminutive 5-foot 9-inch floorplan though you can take a shower outside using the company’s excellent Nautilus Water Management System. Standards include a 2.3 cubic foot DC compressor refrigerator, a 19-gallon fresh water holding tank, a 15-gallon grey water holding tank, the all-in-one Alde hydronic water heater and furnace, the Froli Modular Sleep System, one 5 gallon propane tank, a 210 watt solar power system, and a vented battery compartment large enough to hold two group-24 batteries. The general shape of the camper is very reminiscent of the popular and much larger Cirrus 820 model, though you won’t find anything like the 820’s rear bumper and entry steps on this model. The nuCamp Cirrus 620 truck camper lists for a $44,014. Available at top dealerships nationwide.

9. Phoenix Custom L2 Hard-Side

Phoenix Campers is a premier, pop-up truck camper manufacturer, but few people know that the custom builder can build hard-side campers as well.  Designed by truck camper designer extraordinaire, Rob Rowe, the Phoenix Custom L2 Hard-Side is a relatively new offering from the Colorado-based company. Featuring a dry weight of 1,400 pounds and a floor length of 8 feet, this cutting-edge hard-side features all the hallmarks found in every Phoenix camper including a triple layer insulated liner with a double-welded pro-flex aluminum frame, fiberglass siding, Phoenix’ exclusive aerodynamic nose cap, under bed storage with gas strut lift, and a queen size main loft bed, a front-slider window, overhead cabinets, decorator curtains for all windows, a screen door, and 12 volt outlets. Standards include lift jacks, a 12 volt roof fan, a 30 amp converter-charger, a 20-pound propane tank, a comfy dinette, and a large kitchen, and a spacious wet-bath. The Phoenix Camper’s optional menu includes a north-south cabover bed, a 30 gallon fresh water holding tank, an 8,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner, a shoe cubby, hanging storage, folding scissor steps, and adjustable shelves.

10. Lance Squire 805

What’s old is new again. When Lance, the largest truck camper manufacturer in the world, was looking for a lightweight camper to meet the needs of today’s adventurers and overlanders, it turned to an old classic from the 1970s called the Lance M-350. Indeed, the new Lance 805 resurrects what had been a mainstay in the Lance truck camper catalog for years. Like the original, you won’t find a bathroom in the Lance 805, but you will find the essentials needed to camp comfortably including a porta potty, 10 gallons of fresh water, and 20 gallons grey, yet the new, half-ton camper still retains the layout that made the original M-350 an enduring classic, including a 6-foot countertop—the longest at Lance—a propane cooktop, a U-shaped dinette, a 60×80-inch east-west cabover bed, and a Truma Combi water heater-furnace. The new and improved Lance 805 even includes an optional 23Zero outdoor shower enclosure not found in the original. With a dry weight of only 1,555 pounds, the Lance 805’s size and weight means that better-rated, full-size short-bed and long-bed half-ton pickup trucks can carry it, including the ever popular Ford F-150 pickup. Even better-rated 3/4-ton, diesel equipped trucks like the Ram 2500 and Chevy Silverado 2500HD can safely haul this lightweight, hotel-on-wheels around. With electric jacks, the 23Zero shower enclosure, and the step bracket, the Lance 805 comes in at a svelte 1,635 pounds dry. Lists for only $26,013.

Read This Before You Buy

Before purchasing your camper, make sure your Ford F250 Super Duty pickup can handle the extra weight. When it comes to hauling a truck camper, the payload rating trumps all other performance numbers including horsepower, fuel-mileage, and torque. For a Ford F250, this rating can be a low as 3,210 pounds or as high as 4,360 pounds. This means the camper you buy, plus passengers and gear, must be below this number. Determining the payload rating of your Ford F250 is easy. It can be found either on the driver side door jamb sticker (pictured here) or can be determined by taking the truck to the scales and subtracting the weight of the truck from the truck’s GVWR.
