What's the best cheat-camper if you wanna stay in a campground
and all the other campers are hard sided, white and expensive?

I don’t know what you mean by cheat camper but a few campgrounds have restrictions as to size, year and condition. Some fiberglass hard siders are cheaper but have short falls if you travel a lot. If it’s a permanent site many times a RV dealer will tow and set it up for you.

@Whiterosesociety Actually I do know someone who did but he was a carpenter and I don’t have that kind of skill. But I bet there’s plans online somewhere.
@SageWanderer I know, still trying to decide what to do...

@Whiterosesociety Also try to find a JC Whitney catalog. They may have an in bed tent set up.

Have you thought about a trailer tent .I had one for many years and a second hand one can be cheap .The only downfall I found ,was if it rains hard at night it can be very noisy but great cheap ways to have a camping holiday .
@Rhodesianman well its not free and the drive back would cost me too much

@Whiterosesociety so its not a bargain and not worth bothering with .
@Rhodesianman no its not and I don't like pop ups anyway
I could try to make one by myself or get some kind of arrangement going for what I can do, like get another cap and get a tent-extension thingy, also not cheap but cheaper than a hardside anything

@maxeen I would appreciate some help with my question. All I have is a mini pickup with no cap or camper on it and without something like a camper I will not get in but I cant afford a real camper

@Whiterosesociety
if you can't afford a camper...that's your answer
you can rent them at some campgrounds..this place rents them for $400/month ..
plus electricity...
you can also work for the campground...covers cost..
retirees volunteer at state parks...live free
good luck

@Whiterosesociety :-) I was just being silly.
I think teardrop campers are cool but I don’t know how practical they are.

@SW-User overpriced therefore unavailable..but I have a small wrought iron trailer on wheels and can build something homemade..if I knew what I was doing
