The Platform Camper is available for a variety of trucks; however, we tested it from the bed of a Ford Maverick.
It took one shopping trip to find my sole gripe with the Platform Camper: the exceptionally fiddly key cylinders on the six locks securing the topper panels, none of which easily accepted the key each and every time I attempted to lock or unlock a given panel. That said, everything else about the Platform Camper felt well-built and of high quality.
The camper roof sits 6.5 inches above the Maverick’s shark fin antenna. Save for the occasional chirp when the wind hit the truck just right, I would have never known there was a camper nesting in the compact pickup's bed. GFC reports the Platform Camper cuts a couple of miles per gallon from the Maverick's fuel economy.
I first tried the camper as an office, stopping at the Pilot Travel Center south of Great Falls, Mountain and promptly getting on a Zoom call. It took approximately 90 seconds to raise the tent and rearrange the composite, modular bed panels to play the part of a standing desk for my laptop. With the meeting over, I promptly locked everything up and was back on the road in less than two minutes.
