Our Four Wheel Pop-Up Truck Camper

Baja here we come!

B

After a lot of shuffling, we are finally ready for the road trip of a lifetime. We’ve temporarily moved out of our larger trailer and in to our more robust and off-road capable utility trailer, and tomorrow cross the border for five weeks in Mexico! I have dreamt of a Baja road trip for longer than I can remember. Tomorrow, when we cross, I will probably be the most nervous I’ve been...

Why we couldn’t part with our Four Wheel Camper but are loving our Casita

W
full time rv living

It’s been a little over two months since we bought our Casita travel trailer and nearly as long since we moved in to it full-time (combined with our Four Wheel Camper).  The setup may be unique but it couldn’t be working out better.  I thought I’d take the opportunity to share with you guys how we’re using everything and a few more details about why we ended up going this...

Cold-weather camping in our Four Wheel Camper

cold weather camping gear

We’re officially out of our house but not driving off into the sunset…at least not yet!  This month we’re finishing up some jobs in Colorado before heading South for the winter.  Before this month even began, I knew it would be an adventure given how volatile the weather can be at high elevation this time of year.  Sure enough, our third day out of our house it snowed 5″...

Take a glimpse at the Four Wheel Camper lifestyle

T

In April we traveled 6,000 miles and camped in 7 states living out of our Four Wheel Camper.  Those 30 days were just another 30 reasons why I hope to one day live on the road full-time.  Everyday somewhere new…a new view, a new challenge, a new experience.  I decided to document this trip less than normal but I still put together a fun little two minute recap video that will...

A look inside our Four Wheel Camper

A

We bought our Four Wheel Camper back in 2012 and I remember the process of researching and shopping for the perfect rig.  I was like a sponge to any info regarding truck campers that I could get my hands on.  Now that we’ve had our setup for a few years now and have everything pretty dialed in I thought I’d put together a little video to show the inside of our camper, what it looks...

Our Camping Utility Trailer

O

2024 Update:  This trailer has proved to be wildly useful in more ways than one.  It now serves as a way to haul water when we’re parked on our property and has been the perfect accessory to our Four Wheel Camper during our winter-long trips to Baja, Mexico. ___________ A little over a year ago we purchase this sweet little homemade trailer that we found on Craigslist in Arizona.  While our...

Mods & Additions to our Four Wheel Camper

pop-up truck camper mod

Last year I wrote a post titled “Our Truck Camper Setup” and talked about what our Four Wheel Camper included stock from the factory, what upgrades we ordered at the time of purchase and what we’ve added since then.  I’d love to expand on what we’ve added and why.  Here’s a list of all our truck camper mods and additions, in no particular order… 1. ARB...

Some of our favorite items for Truck Camper camping

S

A few weeks ago, while camping at Lake Mohave, I was looking around camp and noticed all the items we’ve thoughtfully accumulated over the last couple of years that are fun, efficient and space-saving.  All of which contribute to a great overall camping experience.  Truck camper travel teaches you just that, to be extremely thoughtful about each and every item you take along with you...

Adding a moveable solar panel to our truck camper

A

When we purchased our FWC truck camper we included a 85 watt solar panel and two auxiliary batteries with our purchase.  The purchase proved to be a good one as we primarily camp in remote places with no access to hookups of any kind.  Running our refrigerator, the furnace and charging electronics had been no problem with the solar panel.  That was true until our first winter.  With the sun...

Our truck camper setup

O

In June 2012 we purchased our new Four Wheel Camper Hawk Shell Model.  After countless hours researching the perfect off-road camping rig, we couldn’t be happier with our choice.  Here’s a look at what options we included, what we’ve added since the purchase and some photos of our setup. Standard features included in the Four Wheel Camper Shell Model: All aluminum flex-frame...
