Camping with pickups and camper vans may not be very common in Sweden, but it is also an option for those who want to go on a road trip. We looked at a bunch of different models at the Caravan Stockholm fair this weekend.

Tischer Trail 240
We started looking at the Tischer Trail 240. This model is suitable for both 1.5-cab and double-cab pickups.
It may look a bit cramped inside in the photo, but that's because we took the photo from below. In reality, it felt relatively spacious, with a large bed, dining table, kitchen equipment and a toilet with shower. The price of the campervan is around SEK 325,000.
Northstar adventurer
You can see the Northstar Adventurer in the top image of this post. Here you can see what the camper looks like inside. This camper fits American full-size pickups with both long (8 feet) and short (6 feet) beds.
The camper is equipped with a toilet and an outdoor shower. The base price for this is 326 250 SEK.
Northstar 12 sTc Premium Edition
The Northstar 12 sTc Premium Edition is suitable for 8-foot pickup trucks, such as the Ford F350, GM 3500 or Dodge RAM 3500.
This is a really large camper and there is also a larger bathroom with a real shower area. The base price for this is SEK 579,000.
EC 6SH, S-body
S-Karosser was at the fair, but for some reason we missed taking photos of their campers from the outside. Here you can at least peek inside! This model is equipped with an outdoor shower and the standard price is SEK 341,000.
Gazelle
We conclude with a mini version of the camper, as shown by Camper Norway. This small camper is low when driving, and when you stop, you can fold up the roof.
There is no bathroom, but there is a small porta-potti that can be pulled out from under one of the benches. The price for this model is 314 000 SEK.
What are your thoughts on pick-ups and camper vans?
What are your thoughts on the option of getting a pick-up truck and camper van? Would it suit you - why/why not? Do you already have a campervan ... or do you know someone who does?

Camper is not wrong. As I said, I had a great holiday in one around Denmark a long time ago. Seems good with roofs that can be lifted up so even upright people can stand straight. ;- ))

Glad you tried out a campervan! Surely it is smart with a roof that can be raised! (This particular little one is probably very low from the start though.)

Pickup trucks and camper vans are usually used in my home area by hunters and fishermen, preferably the older models 😉 the ones without convenience... as the toilet is out in the woods, washing and showering is done when you get home 😉.
Now the ones you show are fresh and definitely an option,

Glad to hear that pickup trucks and camper vans are more common in your area! Can imagine that it suits many hunters and fishermen. And yes, the ones we looked at were nice inside!

I'm keen on a camping summer but haven't managed to convince the husband...but in that case I could definitely spend it in a camper van....

Camping is cosy! Too bad it's hard to convince the husband... 😉 ...

For a few days of exploring, campervans seem to be a very interesting option. Not least the driver-friendly, really small campers. Those of you who are knowledgeable in the field and have your ear to the ground, so to speak, what is the reason for the low popularity of campervans in Sweden?
22 February 2018 - 8:53
Helena says:
I haven't heard anything negative about campervans directly, and some people do use them of course! Another reader commented above that they are common among hunters and fishermen. It is probably just difficult to achieve the same popularity here as in the US because it is less common to have a pickup truck. The whole concept is based on having or acquiring such a car.

Thank you very much!

Of course they are nice and luxurious! 🙂
But we stick to semi-integrated 🙂 .
Take care....

Of course, you should keep what you like 🙂 .

Alexandra says:
They are definitely cool! But I definitely see more use for them in Australia than here in Sweden haha.
22 February 2018 - 11:07
Helena says:
Yes, that's for sure. But I think they are suitable for some Swedes as well 🙂.

Camper is a bit like a Kinderegg. Small pickis as a car and wheelchair when needed. Practical.
Unfortunately, one is a bit comfortable as a 69-plus? so we roll on with the motorhome...

Helena says:
Haha, funny description! I like them and could imagine one. But maybe I would even rather have a plough 😉 .

Solan says:
I understand that you are longing for a ride. It suits you ... full roll and discovery. ?

Ditte says:
Significantly newer and more modern models than the camper, a bus with a raised roof, with which we crossed the USA and also drove one from San Francisco to San Diego and then via the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. A true and unforgettable experience. But today... No! Now it will be flight and hotel and sometimes hotel camping.
22 February 2018 - 12:41
Helena says:
Haha, yes, the new models have certainly become much more modern and comfortable 🙂.

BP says:
I agree with Ditte here. At our age, it is convenience and considerations. With a 1.95 m tall man, we prefer apartments and flights;-) But for younger people, I think these pickups are just fine. In addition, they are significantly cheaper than regular motorhomes.

I could definitely imagine one of those. Small and agile.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
We have a Dodge Ram with an 8-foot bed that we now have a roof tent on and it works fine. But we have begun to look for a Camper to hang on. The question is if anyone knows what the common faults are? What about moisture and the part you push out, are there weaknesses there?
Grateful for some reflections from those with experience.
Regards Anneli
