Pop-Up Pickup Truck Campers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Days on Tracks 'ALPACA' Camper Expands and Folds with Ease

— April 15, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Days on Tracks 'ALPACA' camper is an expandable travel solution for domestic explorers to use as a way to maintain comfort when spending extended periods on the road.

The unit works by being installed into the flatbed of a pickup truck where it will provide ample space on the inside for daily living as well as sleeping. The shell is crafted with triple-powder-coated aluminum with all the wood on the unit sourced from sustainable managed forests for an eco-friendly edge.

The Days on Tracks 'ALPACA' camper offers 98.4-inches of height when popped open and weighs under 375-pounds to help keep fuel consumption in a solid range. Priced starting at $8,400, the camper is available now for order with deliveries slated to take six to eight-weeks to prepare.
