How to Make My Big Truck Into a Camper
Put a camper top on your truck bed to turn your truck into a camper. Measure the bed of your truck and then buy a camper top that fits. If the camper is too big it will weigh down your truck; if the camper is too small it won't fit or work properly. Before buying a camper, measure the payload, which means how much your truck can carry and/or haul. Measure payload with a CAT scale, which you can find at any highway truck weigh station. Take dimensions to a dealer so it can match a camper top to your truck.

Take dimensions and weight to a camper dealer so it can recommend a camper to you. The dealer will match, fit, and even place the camper on top of your truck.
