ADLAR truck campers by Soaring Eagle: Low cost and simple

By Cheri Sicard
If you are looking for a simple, lightweight, no-frills kind of truck camper that won’t break the bank, you might want to check out this video from Josh the RV Nerd. In it, he shows us two Soaring Eagle ADLAR truck campers, the 6.5 and the 6.5XL.

These truck campers are a rare find

Josh says these truck campers are a rare find in that they can actually safely fit on most half-ton pickups. Also, for a low-priced truck camper, these are well-made with an all-aluminum frame. That’s right—no wood, no rot, no rust!

These are basic—in other words, a step up from a tent. Therefore, don’t expect a lot of fancy amenities, although rooftop solar is available as an option.

The smaller version is not a full RV

The smaller of the two ADLAR truck campers really offers little beyond a place to sleep, a dinette, and some storage. As I said, this is more comfort than a tent, but really not a full RV.

The XL model offers more, including:

  • Two separate sleeping areas
  • A porta-potty
  • A microwave oven

For a single guy heading out to the desert to go prospecting or metal detecting, this is it. Or a ham operator wanting to do POTA activations out of the weather. Bare bones but way better than a tent.
