A Truck Camper that Won’t Break the Bank! The HitchHiker by Tusca Outdoors

This new product developed and launched by Tusca Outdoors is made with high density foam and a bed liner spray. Each unit is only 190 pounds and runs $2750 on Tusca's website. Mounting options for truck beds are still in development.
I got the opportunity to talk with the co-founders of Tusca Outdoors at the Great American Outdoor Show a week and a half ago. With how much I travel in the F250, having a truck cap and sleeper that is insulated and water tight would be a huge upgrade over my current fiber glass cap!
If you have any questions about the HitchHiker please drop a comment. I will reach out to Adam and Josh directly if there are any questions I cannot answer off the top of my head. To order your own HitchHiker please visit tuscaoutdoors.com/products/th...

Ok. Now this is what I have been looking for. I have seen 100's of overland rigs and this one makes the most sense for me. I just need a warm dry safe place to sleep off the ground and something that can withstand a windstorm or snow storm. I dont need a transformer that costs $40,000.

Just paid my invoice today for one of these. I have a 5x10 utility trailer with a toolbox on the front, and am installing a solar panel, 12V battery and power inverter in the tool box. My truck has roof racks for bikes, kayaks, etc. Can't wait to sit this on my trailer and still have trailer functionality when needed, but camping functionality when I want to get up at the crack of dawn and go wet a line in some out of the way backwater. Working with Josh at Tusca was really easy. Very nice guy. can't wait until they tell me she's ready.

You're smack in the middle of their customer base. I went ahead and bought a mini-camper, but I wish I'd gotten the utility trailer, first. You can do it cheaper than they're doing, but it won't be made of the same materials or (in my case) the same level of craftsmanship.

Here's an idea. There's a great series of tents from Australia, sold here, called the Oztent. It has a flat face, goes up in less than a minute. Made of a very durable poly cotton canvas. If you have the Hitchhiker on a utility trailer you could put it up close to the front of the Oztent. Sheltered place to sit and hang out, change clothes. Secure, hard wall camper to sleep in. Put up the tent at locations you're staying awhile but just get in the camper to sleep when traveling. There are a lot of ways something like the Hitchhiker could be used.

I built a 4’x7’ unit exactly like this fall of ‘22. Didnt need all the fancy extras they put in teardrops/squaredrops. Used plywood and reflectix for insulation and 1/4” thick lexan for windows. When all was said and done I probably had between $1500-$2000 in material and parts and about 3 weeks of my time. This model is built better and uses better quality materials ( more insulation, hardware, rv windows) for very close to the same price as what I spent for a diy project.

@@powerstrokemaintenance I'm a motorcyclist - both dirt and street - and I take trips to interesting, sometimes far away places at which to do both. Sometimes I meet others at rallys and such, and sometimes it is just wifey and myself for a getaway. I'm also pretty much a minimalist in everything I do, and don't want the hassle and expense of buying/maintaining/storing/etc a full blown toy hauling camper. Nor do I want to buy a $60k gas guzzlinhg truck to tow one. All I need is a cool, comfortable, animal-proof {I'm deathly afraid of bears) place to sleep and a way to take along a bike or two and a bit of gear. This pod and a decent sized utility trailer are perfect. This combination would be easy to pull with my existing vehicles and would also serve several other purposes in my life, as the trailer will do a lot more than just haul a bike or two and take me camping. I now have an enclosed trailer, but it is catches LOTS of wind and is therefore hard to pull. It also has slowly transformed into a storage shed, and is now a hassle to use.

@rockym2931 3 ай бұрын

@@powerstrokemaintenance for years I've tent camped, mostly on some property that is owned by the family of a friend, about 160 acres out in the hills of WV that's been logged on and off for generations. After getting a truck for myself, I've camped in the bed either using a bed tent or some PVC pipe and a tarp, but just get tired of the constant set-up/take-down. Over the years I've been getting more interested and gearing towards overlanding, and the wife and I are also looking to purchase some mountain property ourselves, so something like this will be great for weekend trips when I'm starting the build out.

I've been considering putting a Hitchhiker on a pickup but warming up to the idea of towing it on a utility trailer with a Corolla hybrid. Really want as affordable an option as possible mpg wise. I owned a 26' travel trailer for 12 years and towed trailers professionally for a transporter 25 years ago. Not a big fan of towing but something this small and light wouldn't be an issue.

@powerstrokemaintenance 4 ай бұрын

What’s your motivation for wanting to tow it over running it in a pick up bed?

@kennethkilpatrick3758 4 ай бұрын

Mainly the much better fuel mileage of a hybrid. Also could rig up some hoses to run from a/c vents in the hybrid over to the camper's side window. Hybrid's a/c runs off the hybrid battery. Engine kicks on every so often to top off battery. Uses less than a gallon of gas in 8 hrs. But carrying it on a truck is ideal for ease of setup and convenience.

Ah gotcha makes sense! The fuel economy and ac setup with the hybrid sounds pretty sweet that would be a mint setup

I was one of the first to build what has come to be known as foamies in the teardrop world over 10 years ago. Basically the same idea as this, but using canvas and latex paint instead of bed liner. I have my reserve on how well the bed liner will work for long term endurance, but canvas works great. Been beating on my Foamie trailer Overlanding for 4 years now. Still going strong. My 4'x4'x8' square drop with door and window came in at 130lbs. before mounting it to the trailer.

Get rid of the front door, add two side doors. Lengthen it just a little and add a hatch with some storage. Maybe a little more structural beams, increase price by $1,000 - $2,000 dollars. to around $4,500 - $6,000 you got a deal! This has potential! This could be towed by a side by side or a 4 wheeler... However, if I put it on a trailer, I can't access the front how I'd want to. So, my suggestion would work for me and would allow me to put it on a harbor freight type trailer. As a consumer, I'd have access to a very light weight and capable square drop camper that I could customize without having to refinance my home to purchase. You're right on the cusp of something really really great.

That price is crazy low. with a little more interior features it could easily get 5 grand.

The idea is to keep it affordable. Tusca is not trying to rape their customers with over-inflated pricing. And, personally, I like the minimalist style, that way I can customize it the way I want. Most production campers suck in their wasted space, layout and design.

Hey so does this fit into a truck bed or is it meant for a trailer?

@powerstrokemaintenance 3 ай бұрын

This one is meant for a trailer or 8 foot truck bed but they are working on new dimensions for different size versions.

It's nice,but I'd rather see it at 1,500.00. The material it is made with is not that expensive,just hard to DIY.

@brotherlittlefoot2216 About the only thing camper wise that's comparable in size and price is a rooftop tent. I think the Hitchhiker is more versatile and better insulated. And it has very few moving parts. Should last me at 62 the rest of my life. And if I wear out a utility trailer or a pickup I can transfer this over to another one. True, can do that with a rooftop tent but the trailers designed to carry rtt's are much more expensive than a utility trailer. And this can be ready to go at a moments notice with all your bedding inside. So considering the costs that jump way up for a teardrop trailer or travel trailer, or for even the most affordable truck campers, this is imo a good deal. If a manufacturer is only going to sell for a little more than cost there's not much incentive for them to do so. It's not just the cost of the materials but also labor, machinery, distribution, advertising. I think all things considered it's a very fair price. Very interested in what other ideas they come up with.

@@kennethkilpatrick3758 It might well be a "fair price" for those who can afford it. I have run my own Horticulture business for a little under 20 years now,so i know a little about all that goes into a business - even had to take business classes in college... .... I have also always worked on a sliding scale,until I realized that ppl who had more money than me were often taking advantage of me... ...There needs to be something like this in the $1,000.00 range for blue collar ppl like me. I'm trying to save up for some land,either a used SUV or a Toyota Hilux diesel if they ever sell them in the US,plus a small amount of land without restrictions in area that has seen more development than most in the past 20 years. ...I was once robbed of my life savings,and i have been quite the giver since I straightened my life out 26 years ago.Lord,just give the poor,working man something decent he can afford,and let the human that comes up with it become a millionaire.

We appreciate your price concerns! While we strive to source quality, American made materials and build in the US, unfortunately there are many more costs that just raw materials when it comes to building a product. Things likes warehouse space to build and store large products, marketing expenses, labor costs, Credit card fees, packaging and shipping costs, liability and insurance, and good Ol’ Uncle Sam all play a part when it comes to our price point. We encourage innovation in the outdoor industry as we believe there is a hole to fill for US manufacturing and great outdoor products. Would love to connect if you have any ideas!
