CampKing Industries Expedition Camper for Tacoma Rigs

CampKing Industries Expedition Camper for Tacoma Rigs

At Rhino Adventure Gear, we don’t settle for basic gear. We’re passionate about outfitting rigs with equipment that elevates every adventure. That’s why we’re proud to offer the CampKing Industries Outback Series Canopy Camper a revolutionary canopy camper system designed for the 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma with a 5.5ft bed.

If you're serious about overlanding, this isn't just another camper shell, it's a purpose-built, adventure-ready solution that maximizes your truck bed space, integrates a sleeping platform, and keeps your gear secure in one sleek, rugged package.

Let’s dig into what makes this canopy camper the ultimate upgrade for overlanders who refuse to compromise.

The Outback Advantage

The Outback Series Canopy Camper is not your average bolt-on accessory. It’s a product born from the demands of hardcore overlanders and refined with precision Australian engineering.

Here’s why this canopy camper is a game-changer:

  • Revolutionary One-Piece Roof Design
    Camp King’s exclusive one-piece tent roof is fully TIG welded and reinforced with a specialized Orlock riveting system. This makes it one of the most structurally solid campers on the market, able to withstand the harshest conditions while providing a safe, comfortable shelter.

  • Maximized Storage Without Sacrificing Bed Utility
    Unlike many campers that require rear fit kits or awkward adapters, this camper allows you to retain your factory tailgate. You’ll still have access to your tailgate workspace while seamlessly integrating drawers, fridge slides, or even a full slide-out kitchen system.

  • Tailored Fit – No Dead Space
    Every Camp King Outback Canopy Camper is designed specifically for your truck model, no universal fit kits, no wasted space. This ensures tight tolerances, clean aesthetics, and efficient use of every inch of your Tacoma’s bed.

  • Built for Overlanders, by Overlanders
    Designed in Australia and manufactured at Camp King’s Brisbane factory, these campers reflect the highest levels of craftsmanship with no cheap outsourced labor. This is gear made by people who live and breathe overlanding.

When you choose this canopy camper, you're getting more than a shell. You’re investing in a meticulously engineered system that includes:

  • Fully assembled aluminum canopy camper

  • Integrated pop-top roof tent with heavy-duty gas struts
