truck camper

Bed-mounted shelter

A truck camper is a portable living unit designed to be loaded onto and carried in the bed of a pickup truck.

Unlike travel trailers, which are towed, truck campers sit in or over the truck bed and can be removed when not in use: We slid the truck camper off and used the pickup around town.

They typically include sleeping quarters, a small kitchen, and sometimes a bathroom.
