Years ago, if someone just wanted a sleeper for those overnight trips
to the lake while pulling the boat behind the pickup, they either
built a bed inside a standard pickup canopy or bought one of the non-
cabover camper models.  However, currently, I only have found one
manufacturer that still makes the non-cabover campers.  Here is the
link to that company.

One of the problems with the non-cabover models is the flat wall of
resistance (no aerodynamics) at the front.  Another company that has
helped in that area has created what they call a  "canaper."

---A cross between a traditional pickup camper and canopy, it features
a "cabover" of sorts but it is primarily just there for a little
storage and to provide some front end aerodynamics.

---They are spartanly equipped with just a bed, sink and stove but the
prices, which start around $4,000 (some regular campers approach
$30,000) also reflect that level of accomodations.

---And many of them weigh around 900 pounds or less so even the import
pickups with the 4-cylinder engines are capable of carrying them.
Here is the link to that company.

---They have models to fit all types of pickup bed configurations and
it's nice to see that segment of the RV population being addressed.

---One simply doesn't need a $85,000 motorhome just for an overnighter
to the local lake to do a little fishing and/or pleasure boating.
