I have one of ARE's better offerings. It has the flush windows and power lock.  The latches kinda suck.  That's the only issue I've had.  Would still buy again.

I'm thinking he actually means campers, not shells - but I might be wrong.

I am thinking of getting an ARE cap, MX series. Which one do you have and do you like it.

I have an 8 foot bed and plan to make it into a very small camper shell.

There was a good thread about shells a few weeks ago back, personally I'm a Snugtop guy.

We bought one this spring for biking and jeep trips. It's an eight footer on a six and a half foot box.

No shitter and no shower we stay in state camp grounds right now.  It was a cheap way to try out camping we are hooked.  I have an eye on a Travel lite camper near here price keeps going down.

I have a Ranger, with a full size box and a Raven cap.

I need a CPAP, so we need electrical. A windowless AC in the cap, with a drain hose.
Both pass through windows open, with inflatable buffer between them.

You can hang meat in there.

And a Futon mattress. A small trailer, that pulls a 100mph Yamaha Majesty scooter with cases.
Little trips with the campsite as a hub.

Comfortable camping on the cheap
