BRANDS WE INSTALL
Custom, in-house, built to fit your rig
A note about brands: You can probably find off-brand parts cheaper online, but we use trusted, warranty-backed brands that we and hundreds of our customers have relied on for years. We're also an authorized warranty service center for every truck camper brand we sell. Final total will vary by your rig and chosen products, and we send a fully itemized quote before beginning any work.

FROM THE SHOP
"I run a solar and fridge setup just like the ones below on my own truck. San Diego gets full sun almost every day, so the fridge just runs. No plugging in, no thinking about it. Quick surf before work, and there's breakfast. Quick surf after work, and there's a cold beer waiting in the truck! That ease and convenience is really the whole point behind a lot of these builds, whether it's a basic bed setup or a fully modernized slide-in"
SAM W, CO-OWNER
EXAMPLE BUILDS WITH REAL PRICES
WHAT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE
Below are real build-outs that we commonly undertake, priced with real numbers. These aren't fixed menus, they're just examples of what's possible.
