TruckHouse BCR Camper Is A Carbon Fiber Tiny House On 40-Inch Wheels

When it comes to enjoying the tranquility of the outdoors, many people opt for building or buying a small cabin in a remote location away from the noise and commotion of everyday life.

However, this limits you to a single place and restricts your ability to explore different destinations. So, how can you combine the coziness of a cabin with the freedom to travel wherever you desire?

TruckHouse may have the answer with their innovative BCR model. As experts in turn-key drop-in campers, they have designed a camper that sits on top of an American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) Prospector XL, a heavily modified version of the Ram 3500 4×4 truck.

The BCR drop-in house is constructed with a vacuum-infused carbon monocoque body, which is seamlessly integrated with the truck chassis using a carbon fiber reinforced torsion-free mounting system. The upper part of the cabin features an aerodynamic system called HiPR Foils, which allows air to pass through the sides of the structure, reducing drag and enhancing efficiency while traveling at high speeds.
