DIY Camper build so far

I recently built a DIY hard sided, slide in camper for my 2020 Tundra and wanted to share some progress!

The frame is made out of Aluminum Extrusions with ACP paneling on the outside. I used birch plywood as the interior panels and a small electrical setup for the fridge, lights, fan, and linear actuators.

Working on an interior roof and lights now and have a lot of ideas for the future. Looking forward to sharing more about my experiences going forward and learning from others too!

Truck suggestions

As the title suggests, I’m in the market for a truck and I’m trying to see what options would work best for my intentions. My current truck was great for what we needed it for and for where we were at but no longer meets our needs (23’ Frontier) as we’re looking to move away from the shell type campers (ie project M) into something with a few more amenities

My criteria is:
- capable of confidently holding a slide-in pop-top truck camper (ie FWC hawk, OEV back country, Alaskan, etc.)
- able to handle light/moderate offroading/overlanding
- easily worked on/reliable
- Able to carry myself, wife, dog, camp/surf/snow gear (depending the season) and have room for kids eventually
- $20-25k used to buy it out right (I’m over having car payments)

As of right now, my initial thoughts are leaning towards early 2000s trucks like the first gen Tundra or f250 with the 7.3 diesel. I’ve had older cars before (1984 VW Westfalia that I regret selling almost every day) and understand these can have quirks but also understand parts/labor tend to be cheaper and easier. Plus, I’m over a car payment and how overly complicated trucks are becoming these days.

GFC V2 Pro for Tundra Gen 3 2022+ 5.5ft bed for Sale.

Go Fast Campers GFC Great condition V2 Pro. For a Toyota Tundra Gen 3, 5.5 ft bed. Located in North East North Carolina. Willing to meet up for right deal.

I’m selling my Go Fast Camper Pro V2 for a 2022–2026 Toyota Tundra 5.5’ bed.

The camper is in excellent condition and has been well cared for. The camper has been fantastic—I simply realized that my camping style has shifted more toward using my Casita trailer, so I'm moving to a premium hard-sided topper that better fits how I use my truck. There are no issues with the GFC; it's just time for someone else to enjoy it.

Included:

* GFC Pro V2
* Front sliding window
* Rear window
* Two heavy-duty crossbars
* Interior LED lighting
* Tent LED lighting
* TurboNap mattress system
* Ladder kit
* Drip rails

The camper opens and operates exactly as it should. It’s incredibly lightweight while still being extremely strong, making it a fantastic setup for overlanding, camping, hunting, fishing, and daily driving.

If you’ve been considering ordering a new GFC, this is an opportunity to save money and skip the wait.

Trades: I would consider trading for a premium hard-sided topper plus cash. I'm primarily interested in a SmartCap, A.R.E. Overland Series, Venturous Ozark, Alu-Cab, OVS Expedition Cap, or similar aluminum/composite toppers.

Happy to answer questions, send additional photos/videos, or arrange a time for you to see it in person.

I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet a serious buyer. If you're several hours away, let's talk—I don't mind meeting halfway when it makes sense.

Thanks for looking!
