Tundra and truck campers?

Has anyone found a hardside truck camper to fit their Tundra?
I have a 2000 Tundra/ Access Cab four wheel drive. I can find a lot of truck campers, but most of them are over the cargo rating. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

I saw this camper on a Tundra over the Labor Day weekend.

mccleamf,

I've postede a few times about hard sided campers on Tundra's. I've had a chance to put two hard sides on my 2001 LTD 4x4, both fiberglass, not pop-ups. The GVWR is the biggest limitation. Please do a search on "campers" and see what you come up with.

I'm happy to relate more of my experiences if you have more questions.

Joe

Thanks for the feedback. I did find one camper that looks good,
weight wise and options for the money. The site is www.camperking.com. One problem for me is that they are in Vancouver, Canada. A little far away from Tennessee (2500 miles).For you folks on that side of the U.S.A. you may want to take a look. I have exchanged email with them several times and they seem willing to help.

It is a hardside camper with flushable toilet, air conditioner and etc. . The dry weight is 940 pounds. Plus another 100 for the air, water(lbs), passengers(lbs) and so on. I like the camper, but if you do the math, you are still right at the max cargo weight for the truck.I am not a fan of having the truck maxed out. Like everyone says it is hard on the equipment and potentially unsafe for humans.

I really like the Tundra. I started out with the grandfather of the Tacoma in '88, went to a T100 (thought I might find a camper for this one too) and now the Tundra. Maybe one day they will build a BIG truck.
