Project M or popup truck bed campers

[TX03RUBI]

Oh yeah we need pics too! I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours. I finished out the year right at 38 nights spent in it. I’m still as excited to use it as I was the first time. Makes a fantastic poor boy toy hauler when you want to drag quads or UTV behind as well.

I’ve got the 3rd camper produced. They’ve changed a handful of things up since mine, and ,mostly *** for the better. The rivets in the ladder mount is a head scratcher though. I had screws in mine. Luckily they’ve been excellent about offering the newer upgrades to existing customers for free. They’ve sent me a handful of mew products at no charge once they realized flaw designs etc.

Yeah, the rivets went into plastic. I drilled and tapped a 1-3/8 od washer and put it on the other side of the plastic part then put screws through the metal bracket into the tapped washer. Rivets into plastic no worky . I tried to finish the power plate today but ran short of wire...

Electrical setup. Still need to add the cable between the battery and the breaker for the inverter. Will tidy up the wires when the cable comes in




This is the frame I built to mount the heater. The screws that are sticking out go into the slots in the extra awning mount I bought.






You can see the holes in the slots the heater frame screw heads go into. No screws to tighten, just lift it up and insert the screw heads into the holes/widened slots and then let it down into the slots. Can't come out without lifting the heater/frame up.

I like the heater mount. That would work great, and setup quickly and easily. This guy makes a bunch of 3D printed accessories for the Lone Peak. His quick attach heater hose connector is awesome. I use his awning tie off points, latch covers, and drink holder/key holders all the time. They’re cheap, and have been highly useful.
