Truck Camper 4×4

The Truck Camper is the living area (the camper unit) mounted on the loading platform of a 4-wheel drive truck. This RV option is very handy for city traffic and perfect for driving on gravel and unpaved roads. Gravel roads allowed without surcharge.

Our 4×4 Truck Campers come with all the amenities needed for a comfortable adventure in the North, including but not limited to a full bathroom, fridge and freezer, and stove/oven. They can sleep up to three people, however, we recommend them for two adults.

There are three Truck Camper categories available, which differ in age of the RV and therefore in rental rate. Truck Campers are available in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Whitehorse and Seattle, and we allow one-way rentals between all our stations.
