Overview
Our Northern Lite 9-6 truck camper is the perfect basecamp for exploring Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, national parks, ski resorts, hot springs, mountain towns, and everything in between.
Mounted on a 2022 Ram 3500 4wd, this setup gives you the freedom and capability of a truck with the comfort of a fully equipped camper — without having to tow a trailer behind you. NO, you can't take the camper off of the truck.
Whether you're chasing powder in the winter, camping beside an alpine lake in the summer, or taking a road trip through California, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, or beyond, Tahoe Basecamp is built to make the trip part of the adventure.
Why You'll Love It
The Northern Lite is a premium fiberglass truck camper known for its excellent four-season construction and comfortable interior.
Inside you'll find everything you need for a comfortable getaway:
• Comfortable queen-size cabover bed
• Dinette and indoor seating area
• Full kitchen
• Refrigerator and freezer
• Stove and cooking space
• Sink with onboard water
• Indoor bathroom
• Shower
• Toilet
• Furnace for cold Tahoe nights
• Hot water
• Plenty of storage for adventure gear
• Onboard electrical system
• Multiple charging options for phones and electronics
Unlike a large RV or travel trailer, the truck-camper design keeps the overall setup compact and makes it much easier to explore mountain towns, trailheads, ski areas, campgrounds, and scenic roads.
Built for Tahoe
This isn't a basic summer-only camper.
The Northern Lite's insulated fiberglass construction makes it especially well suited for the Sierra and shoulder-season adventures.
Picture yourself waking up after a Tahoe snowstorm, making coffee inside the camper, and heading straight to the mountain.
Or spending a summer morning beside a lake before hiking, biking, kayaking, or exploring the surrounding mountains.
It's your own little mountain cabin — wherever you decide to park it.

The Truck
The camper rides on a Ram 3500 powered by the legendary 6.7L Cummins diesel.
The heavy-duty truck platform is well suited to carrying the Northern Lite and gives you a much more confidence-inspiring driving experience than many traditional RVs.
You'll sit high, have excellent visibility, and still have the convenience of driving a pickup instead of maneuvering a large motorhome.
Pickup Location
Based in beautiful South Lake Tahoe by Holiday Market.
That means your adventure can begin almost immediately.
From here you're within easy reach of:

Who This Camper Is For
This rig is ideal for travelers who want something more adventurous than a traditional RV but significantly more comfortable than tent camping or van life.
It's especially great for couples, solo adventurers, photographers, skiers, hikers, and anyone who wants a unique way to experience the mountains.
