Four Wheel Campers: Serious Digs for Serious Overlanders – Driving Line
There’s no other feeling like it. Arriving at some far-off, wilderness destination, devoid of civilization for miles in any given direction, equipped with nothing more than what you can fit in the bed of your truck. While the idea is nothing new, truck camping has been refined over the years as technology has advanced us into a new age of recreation. At the forefront of this innovation is a company that has been there all-along, from the very first days of serious off-road camping: Four Wheel Campers.
From the Beginning
Since 1972, Four Wheel Campers (FWC) has been manufacturing pop-up truck campers to fit a wide range of trucks and SUVs. But the secret to their sauce has always been their ability to produce a product that can handle the hardcore abuse of off-road travel. Currently, FWC offers five slide-in models, and three flatbed models, available for trucks and beds of all sizes from compact to heavy duty. Each slide-in model has several floorplans to choose from, leaving it to the customer to decide which best suits their needs. Their incredibly useful website allows prospective buyers to build out their camper, leaving every element of customization to the customer. The site even provides the physical weight of every option and a total weight of the package—something extremely useful and necessary for anyone who is serious about their off-road travels.
