What about calling it a caravan? In Europe a trailer is used for hauling garbage, not for people to camp in. It all depends on the different regions, what you call it. I always refer to a "truck camper" as a truck camper. A "camper" is someone who goes camping. N'est-ce pas?
I guess it is very regional. Out in the western U.S. they are simply called a camper if it is a partially- or fully self-contained living box that goes into the truck bed. A trailer, or travel trailer, is pulled by a vehicle using either a toungue pull or a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of a pickup truck. A popup, or tent, trailer is bumper pulled by a vehicle. But no one out in the western U.S. would ever refer to a trailer or travel trailer as a "camper". Most all dealerships that sell these recreational accommodations have signs saying they sell Trailers "and" Campers , which are two completely different things.

2024 XL 2.0 w/ 4k

Bought the truck in March of 24, has 40k miles now.
In January I purchased a camper, and anytime I share pictures, everyone wants to know, so I'll just leave this here.

2015 KZ Spree Escape E19BH
weighs ~2750 dry 300# TW

ive got a 40 pound propane tank on the nose and gear under the bed, my tongue weight is likely over 400

my total weight is just a guess, but probably around 3600 after everything.
I haul it around with wood in the bed too, only ever had issues with high winds, but you just have that.

still trying to find a lead on some good tow mirrors, the ones available suck, ive asked mabett to bring the idea to their development team, we'll see what happens there.
