You see truck campers everywhere. Lance is the big one for big trucks. For
little trucks or people who want gas milage, get a slide in pop up camper.
I have a Palomino Bronco B-800. Weight is about 1100# for a cab over with
queen size bed. They make them for the mini-pickups. Lightest is Fourwheel
Popup camper out of woodland Calif. They will even connect you up with
someone selling a used unit. Mine is from
http://www.palominorv.com/ftc.shtml
There are several other manufacturers. The camper is only about 8" high
above the cab when traveling. I do notice a milage hit, but not that much.
But I do drive a 2004 Duramax diesel Chevy.
Get a set of trailering mirrors at the local Wal-mart, autoparts store,
Canadian Tire, etc. They hang on the window sill and then a bungee goes to
the bottom to the door. Remove when not trailering.

He he...

I've noticed that what we do for camping almost seems unique in North
America: we have "slide-in" campers that fit on the back of pickup trucks.
You see them EVERYWHERE in BC and the American "pacific northwest", but
rarely anywhere else.

The "camper" I'm referring to sits in the truckbed - it's not a separate
trailer. The problem with it is that it's wider than the truck (or the
boat!).

Here's what a "big one" looks like:
