How Truck Campers are Built

Truck Campers are popular for allot of reasons. You can utilize your existing pick up truck and this will save additional insurance and maintenance costs. People who like to camp in the back country like having four wheel drive, more ground clearance and a unit that is shorter in length. Towing a boat, race car, horse trailer or utility trailer is an option with a truck and camper.Campers today have all the conveniences of a motor home or trailer like hot water, shower, toilet and some even have a slide out. There are three main construction techniques utilized by camper manufacturers. The stick and tin method has been around since RV's started to be manufactured. These campers are built with a wood frame, are insulated with fiberglass and have profiled aluminum siding. The second type of construction is referred to as bonded wall or laminated. This method utilizes foam insulation and Filon fiberglass siding. The sidewalls are built in one piece by bonding foam between the interior and exterior panels. The third is the moulded fiberglass shell. The manufacturer moulds the top and bottom of the unit and seams it in the middle. All types of construction have advantages and drawbacks.
