Pickups are great vehicles for outdoor adventures, combining robust off-road capabilities with substantial payload and towing capacities. Whether you choose to tow a camper or convert your truck into one, these versatile vehicles open endless possibilities for exploration.
Ram 1500 trucks are particularly well-suited for truck campers with their spacious bed sizes and off-road capabilities. They are advanced and top-rated full-size trucks renowned for their power and versatility.
For extended journeys, consider a camper that offers comfort and efficiency. Also, having the right accessories will make you independent on the road. Read our article about our recommended accessories for short- or long-term trips to learn more about the subject.
With dry weights ranging from 1300 to 1600 lbs depending on options selected, the Supertramp camper Flagship LT is well-suited for the Ram 1500’s payload capacity. It offers 34 cubic feet of storage, ensuring plenty of space for gear and essentials, great for families. Additionally, the camper is customizable, allowing you to add upgrades that fit your specific needs.However, with a base price starting at $62,975, it may be out of reach for budget-conscious buyers, limiting its accessibility.
With a dry weight of 1,345 lbs, the Overland Explorer Back Country offers excellent off-road capability without exceeding the Ram 1500’s payload capacity. The camper includes a NOCO lithium battery, Renogy battery monitor, and solar charge controller, allowing you to stay off-grid longer. However, its storage capacity is more limited than larger campers, so efficient packing is essential for longer trips. Starting at $49,945, it may be pricier for those on a budget.
The Phoenix Level Series is a semi-custom pop-up camper to haul on your Ram 1500. This camper comes in two configurations: Level 2, which includes amenities like a water heater and shower for enhanced comfort, and Level 1, a more basic option without these features. Pricing for the Level 1 Phoenix Pop Up Camper starts at $32,995. However, note that production time is approximately 6-8 months, as the semi-custom design involves a detailed back-and-forth process to tailor the camper to your specific needs and preferences.
The Scout Olympic 6.5 has a dry weight of just 1,145 pounds and a starting price for the base model at $24,990. It can sleep up to six people if you add a roof tent, making it a great choice for families or groups. With its low energy consumption, you can travel in your Ram 1500 further and longer without having to worry about power. Although it’s durable, the Scout Olympic 6.5 is not as optimized for extreme off-roading compared to other models designed for rugged terrains.
The Roadloft pickup kit is a conversion kit designed to organize the interior of a pickup bed under a raised fiberglass cap. It only weighs 125.5 lbs, minimizing the impact on fuel consumption compared to a pop-up camper. Priced at $4,995, it lets you transform your Ram 1500 into a camper in under 5 minutes, giving you the freedom to explore without the high costs of a traditional RV. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small families, the kit offers customizable spaces, including the ability to switch between an outdoor or indoor kitchen and a single or double bed.
However, it’s designed for smaller, more intimate adventures and is perfect for solo travelers or couples. If your goal is to camp in larger groups (4+ people), each family or friend can equip their own pickup truck with a Roadloft kit, creating private, cozy “rooms” for the night while staying connected as a group.
Get ready for unforgettable adventures with your Ram 1500. With the right camper shell or conversion kit, your truck transforms into a mobile basecamp, allowing you to experience the great outdoors like never before. With the options we’ve shared, you’ll have everything you need to turn your travel dreams into reality. ✨
