Demountable Camper for Pickups

[Burrow01]

Does anyone have them?

I see lots around in the US/Canada, but they are not so popular in the UK?

Thought with the increasing numbers of pickup trucks around they might have taken off

I'm looking at buying a pickup, and they seem to offer a good compromise between a camper van (allowing you to use the vehicle independently once you are set up on a site) and a tent (less faff to erect, solid walls, more waterproof etc).

I can see that they are less spacious than a camper, but are there any other downsides?

Thanks for the replies

Realise that it will be a compromise in terms size of accommodation etc but if you already have a pickup it would save running another vehicle

I'd also be towing a boat at the same time

It also seems to enable you to use the vehicle more easily once you have parked up and demounted the accommodation unit.

I'd be looking at a 1 ton pickup so hopefully load capacity would not be a problem

Interesting did not know they were available in the EU, thanks

Makes towing a boat impossible, but interesting that they are available
