Hello,

Has does anyone know of any vendors that make a camper shell for the Titan yet??? All my local truck accessory stores cannot find one.

Thanks

I think He means an actual Camper shell not just a topper. I don't know of anyone. The Titan is kind of light weight for that sort of thing. But, surely someone will soon.

Do you want a truck camper or a canopy shell?

If you are looking for an actual camper shell, check out "fourwheelcampers.com". After extensive internet searches, I've narrowed my options for a lightweight camper to this manufacturer.

Fourwheelcampers recently merged with SixPack campers (fourwheelercampers makes a "poptop" camper and sixpack makes a rigid sided camper) but both units can be ordered as just a shell weighing around 500-600 lbs.

The factory is in central California but they will ship elsewhere. The Titan's rather low GVWR (especially the LE model) limits what a person can put into the bed. The specific tie down for these campers involves installing eyelets into the floor of the bed. I will be contacting them in the spring about modifying this tie down configuration to maybe utilize the utility bed option on Titans.

Hope this info helps and you find what you are looking for.

Had a camper shell on my truck since July - ARE cost about 1300 and looks great.

Thanks to all. My local ARE dealer said that ARE didn't have one for the Titan yet because it was a new model line, and that was in Nov when I got the truck. I'm calling two other ARE dealers tomorrow that are an hour away. I like the Z model so far. Again, thanks to all. I was talking about just a cap.

They had them in November. I got my tonneau cover in the middle of Oct and there was another Titan that had the ARE Camper next to mine.

The ARE-Z has been available for the CC for quite awhile now. Production the Z on the KC started --Mid-November I think it was. Quite a bit later than the CC. Don't know why. Getting mine after the 1st of the year (a tax thing).

SWEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!! Ghostface, is this your ride? I like it. I think that's the ARE Z model that I want. It just looks like it was made exclusively for the Titan.

So tell, rate?? unit??

Us Coasties are few and far between on here, especially surrounded by all the squids (no offense fellows) we have to stick together.

Ghostface · 12-22-2004, 04:44 PM

Nope not my ride. I have the ARE hard top Toneau cover. Just got it put on about a week ago and am happy with it.

Oh man your gonna make me tell ya everything huh...just remember whatever rate I was us coasties got to stick together in squidly land...he he

Was in from 93-01 and was a FT (FC for you Navy folks)
Mostly a west coast person. Did 2 tours in Ketchikan, AK and 2 tours in Seattle on both the Midgett and Mellon. For you squidlys that say coasties never leave sight of the shore I am a...Shellback, Golden Dragon, Golden Shellback, and Blue nose polar bear.

Been out for 4 years now and have only fond memories of the CG. I have no desire to sign up again and leave my family for months on end. If I had to do it all over again I would in a heartbeat. Seeing that the CG is pretty small I am sure we probably know some of the same people. Might have to PM ya some names. So where you been stationed?
