  • In this video we take a thorough look at Bill and Maureen's 2014 Toyota Tacoma long bed with Four Wheel Campers's Fleet model pop-up camper in the back. I love how surprisingly spacious the camper is. It felt much larger inside than it looked on the outside. You can also tell that everything is well-built and of high quality. This thing was built to last.
    I didn't film Bill saying how much the camper cost (he told me off-camera), but If you Google "Four Wheel Camper cost," the first result shows a 2020 Four Wheel Fleet MSRP being $19,395. That's similar to the number that Bill told me.

    Big thanks to Bill and Maureen for hosting me for lunch and sharing their rig with me. I'd never been in a pop-up truck camper before this. They always look so small from the outside, but inside, this thing was far more roomy, airy, and bright than I expected. I often think about my retired mom and dad and what they'd like in a small camping setup. Sleeping in the back of their RAV4 doesn't interest them, but something like this? I don't think that would be a a difficult sell. -Tristan

      My best friend shared this with me and wanted to share. This jesus was NOT Who they Crucified for our sins, this jesus is a LIE, YaH The Heavenly Father was and here is the PROOF
      We’re praying to the WRONG ONE
      HERE is The REAL MESSIAH, Who they REALLY Crucified for the sins of man
      From the Dead Sea Scrolls Exodus 3 Scroll, "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote
      Paleo Hebrew Direct Translation
      Yad "Hand"
      He "Breath"
      Vav "Nail"
      He "Breath"
      YaH's Name:
      (Ya)d + (H)e, as YaH is what Moses called Him as well all throughout the Book of Isaiah and Psalms, "this is My Name for all generations" (Exodus 3)
      YaH The Creator:
      Yad He, (Hand Breath), as YaH's "Hand" Formed man from the dust of the Earth and His "Breath" made him a living being (Adam)
      YaH's Sacrifice of Crucifixion:
      Vav He (Nail Breath), the "Nail" through the "Hand", that whosoever shall call YaH Savior, His Breath brings forth life (Salvation)
      How YaH arrives:
      YaH arrives via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33:7:11), NOT through childbirth (Isaiah 45:10)
      Why they demanded YaH to be Crucified:
      YaH was Crucified according to Hebrew law (Deuteronomy 21), to be Hung on an Almond Tree for BLASPHEMY, as the Messiah claimed He was YaH.
      He was YaH
      Bible verses of YaH
      Isaiah 42:8
      "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
      Isaiah 43:11
      I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
      Isaiah 45:5
      I am YaH, and there is NONE ELSE.

    If I had a truck and considered getting a pop up, this would be ideal. The fact you can lower the canvas during a storm and still have a place to sleep is huge for me. Security wise, this is so much better than a pull behind pop up! Looks very spacious and well thougjt out. Bill did a great tour. Thanks for shaing it!

    I'm impressed with the thoughtful design of that camper. Four Wheel camper seems to be a company that cares about what they do and has given a lot of attention to the details. That tiedown system seems innovative and secure. For as long as Bill and Maureen have lived in that camper it doesn't seem to show a lot of wear.

    In 1998 I bought one off a Mazda that broke down on it's way to Alaska. No Jack's so 5 guys picked it off the Mazda and slid it onto my Toyota pickup. Was only about 700lbs. It was awesome for the truck and used it every summer until we had to sell it for a larger growing family. I still see it around town today. It was the first one anyone had seen around here (Yukon Territory) and there are quite a few now. Great walkthrough thank you.

    Nice review of a great camping set up. We just finished our first trip with a slightly larger Hawk model from Four Wheel Campers on our Tundra half ton pick up. 3700 plus miles, about 150 of which were in 4WD. Portland to southern Arizona and Death Valley, into some very rough canyons (Marble, Warm Springs, Johnson, Trail). We love the camper/truck combo, particularly not losing our low center of gravity when getting into those remote areas.

    Sir, thank you. I'm in the market for this type of setup. This was a beautiful walk through and explanation of "everything". I recently finished the Pan American Highway from Florida to Argentina in a 2010 Palomino Bronco truck camper with a Toyota Tundra. I met a few people who had this set up with the Tacoma, I like this set up better. Especially needed for some of the small villiages and roads I traveled. The Bronco was toast by the time I finished the trip, as it's mostly for easy camping and not off roading and such. Thanks for your indepth review. Cheers!

    Well done Bill. You covered everything. I can say that as I own a Fleet Side Dinette that rides on a Tacoma. I've had mine in some pretty high winds and it's held up real well. The flexible vinyl pop up walls have never leaked a drop even at the windows. I understand it's the same material that "Rubber Rafts" are made out of. 35K of camping trips so far and looking forward to many more.

      D Ranger: The roof is a continuous, seamless sheet of aluminum. I don’t know the gauge. But if I recall right FWC actually has to source it from Europe because no US rolling aluminum mill makes it in the width of the top. At least as of 2013 when I bought ours. Bill

    Fantastic review, love so much about this setup. I have a 2014 Tacoma, but I went with the 5 foot bed :-(. On the suspension, while I have had good luck with Firestone airbags, they can dry out and fail after several years. I switched to Timbren rear leveler kit which are solid rubber inserts for about $225. You can’t adjust height and ride like the airbags, but for me, they have worked very well. Almost no leaning when cornering with heavy loads. If I do get another Tacoma, I’ll get a long bed after seeing this setup.

    • @lostinmt8370
      @lostinmt8370 4 роки тому +3

      Jack: Thanks for your experience with Timbren. I suspect as you point out I will have to service the Firestone Airbags at some point as they are 6 years old. Switching to Timbren SES Levelers at this point would be problematic as I also replaced the OEM springs with a 2 inch lift, 7 leaf pack made by Alcan out of Colorado. I do see that Timbren makes spacers which might work in my case. Thanks for watching. Bill

    I’ve got an Outfitter Caribou Lite on my 2013 TRD Tacoma doublecab. We did Firestone airbags only, usually with 65 lbs of air in them. Many trips with this setup. At 90k I went to Bilstein 5100s and heavier front springs. Offroad.com built the front strut assemblies for me so only 4 bolts to swap each front corner. Transformed the ride. As far as maintenance on your taco at 90k, get ready to replace the serpentine belt, idler pullies (bottom one will go first by squealing in the cold), rebuild both front half shafts/replace inner and outer seals, and read drive shaft carrier bearing. 5100 and spring upgrade made a huge difference in stability. Had a dometic 3 way in our Scamp and same in the Outfitter. Never had an issue with it. Enjoy the rig!

      Leo: Thanks for all the tips and specs on your build, it sounds perfect for you. I run 60 lbs on the right and 70 lbs on the “battery ladened” left. I installed a rear set of custom made Alcan leaf springs ( www.alcanspring.com ) on the rear with the air bags from day one! Your maintenance tips are very much appreciated. I do carry a spare serpentine belt with a flexible ratchet head wrench for the tensioner in my recover bin. But most important is a print out of the routing of the belt. It would probably take me 2 days of trial and error to get the routing right without it🤣😂. Bill

      My best friend shared this with me and wanted to share. This jesus was NOT Who they Crucified for our sins, this jesus is a LIE, YaH The Heavenly Father was and here is the PROOF
      We’re praying to the WRONG ONE
      HERE is The REAL MESSIAH, Who they REALLY Crucified for the sins of man
      From the Dead Sea Scrolls Exodus 3 Scroll, "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote
      Paleo Hebrew Direct Translation
      Yad "Hand"
      He "Breath"
      Vav "Nail"
      He "Breath"
      YaH's Name:
      (Ya)d + (H)e, as YaH is what Moses called Him as well all throughout the Book of Isaiah and Psalms, "this is My Name for all generations" (Exodus 3)
      YaH The Creator:
      Yad He, (Hand Breath), as YaH's "Hand" Formed man from the dust of the Earth and His "Breath" made him a living being (Adam)
      YaH's Sacrifice of Crucifixion:
      Vav He (Nail Breath), the "Nail" through the "Hand", that whosoever shall call YaH Savior, His Breath brings forth life (Salvation)
      How YaH arrives:
      YaH arrives via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33:7:11), NOT through childbirth (Isaiah 45:10)
      Why they demanded YaH to be Crucified:
      YaH was Crucified according to Hebrew law (Deuteronomy 21), to be Hung on an Almond Tree for BLASPHEMY, as the Messiah claimed He was YaH.
      He was YaH
      Bible verses of YaH
      Isaiah 42:8
      "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
      Isaiah 43:11
      I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
      Isaiah 45:5
      I am YaH, and there is NONE ELSE.

    Nice setup. So to overcome the limited payload capacity of a tacoma all we have to do is ad beefier spring and air bags?

    • @lmcc007
      @lmcc007 4 роки тому +13

      mixflip My 06 Tacoma has a payload capacity of 1200 lbs. which includes me. Air bags and springs help with sagging and beefing up breaks will help you stop, but you shouldn’t exceed your payload capacity. The truck will probably operate fine by going a bit over capacity, but if you get into an accident (your fault or not) insurance may refuse to pay.

      @@budirving7007 To address this issue, the Camper is plumbed in a manner that will allow you to drain that 6 gallons back into the 20 gal tank. Then by closing 2 valves you can completely isolate the water heater tank. That allows you to use the last 6 Gallons. Any water not able to be pumped out of the 20 gal tank can be drained if needed out the outside value that I pointed out in the beginning of the video. Thanks for watching SUV RVing’s channel - Bill

    • @geographyinaction7814
      @geographyinaction7814 Рік тому

      You cannot increase payload, mods are for ride quality. Adding suspension modifications lower your payload, they do not increase it, ...100 lbs in springs etc, you now have 100 lbs less payload.
      The Tacoma has an available payload of between 1100 and 1200 lbs in 4wd, that means that with upgrades, passengers, fuel, water, gear, etc. these campers are just too heavy for Tacomas, simple...people always speak of upgrades to suspension, but never speak of braking...they are actually decreasing their payload by adding things.
      The new Ranger is closer to 1500-1600 lbs payload and I would carefully add up the weight when putting a FWC on one of them, Tacoma? No. Keep in mind that Rangers, Nissans, and Toyotas outside of N. America, have bigger payloads, diesel engines etc. almost 1000 lbs across the board for a Ranger or Hilux.

      Pd - Well I did mis-speak on the units of the panel, Say Amps instead of Watts... LOL Anyway I have competed my upgrade to a Lithium battery and added a small (300 watt) fan-less pure sine inverter for convenience...

    Great review, Bill could be a sales manager for that company. He knew everything. Got me thinking about one of these. Thanks for posting the video

    Appreciate this guy’s honesty on his mileage with the camper mounted. I’m looking at purchasing a pickup and this info he’s passed is what I have been hearing and reading about the Toyota’s terrible gas mileage.

      OOE - Highway speed performance is poor as I noted both in MPG and grade climbing. We spend A LOT of time at sub-15 miles per hours on two tracks, so I am not sure if it makes any difference on MPG between manufactures. If you have any idea let me know.
