About this build
What a Kimbo 8 truck camper build looks like.
A Kimbo 8 build is a hand-riveted hard-side slide-in truck camper for full-size trucks (Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500 and larger). At 1,125 lb dry the K8 is the heavier of the two Kimbo platforms but still half the weight of most legacy composite-wall hard-sides. R10 insulation, a dedicated wet bath, and a queen cabover bed — engineered around full-size truck geometry, not adapted from a midsize design.
Submitting the configurator above costs nothing and commits nothing — it starts a conversation with our team. From there: fit review on your specific truck, module discussion, current pricing, an estimated production-slot date. Production deposit comes only after you've confirmed the build and we've confirmed the slot. Kimbo 8 build time typically runs 6–8 weeks from build confirmation, in small production batches out of Bellingham, Washington.
What's inside
Inside a Kimbo slide-in camper.
What the interior of a Kimbo 8 build actually looks like — the four zones every slide-in camper has, configured the way Kimbo configures them.
Zone 1
Galley
Full-width galley with a 2-burner stove, deep stainless sink with retractable faucet, expanded counter run, and a 12V compressor refrigerator. Above-counter cabinetry with positive-latch hardware that survives washboard.
Zone 2
Dinette
Convertible dinette with a removable table — bench-seats for two adults comfortably, converts to a second sleeping surface when needed. Storage under both bench seats. Window-side seating on both sides keeps both diners looking out.
Zone 3
Sleeping cabover
Queen-size cabover platform sits above the truck cab, accessible by step from the dinette. High-density foam mattress, double-pane Arctic Tern window overhead. Standing-room interior beneath the cabover for changing clothes.
Zone 4
Bath module
Integrated wet bath as standard — molded shower enclosure, shower system, sealed floor pan with drain; add your choice of optional toilet. Sized for adult use without folding into yourself, the trade-off most pop-up campers can't make.

Frequently asked
The build process, answered.
How much does a Kimbo truck camper build cost?
The Kimbo 8 starts at $47,990 for the base build. Typical configurations with common modules (Dickinson heat, expanded solar and lithium electrical, awning, recovery mounts) land between $50,000 and $60,000. Budget for an additional $2,000–$5,000 in truck-side upgrades (airbags, payload-rated tires) if you're running near your truck's payload limit. The Kimbo 6 — the platform for midsize trucks — starts at $27,990 and configures up to ~$35,000 typical. See the full lineup on /campers for the price-and-fit cross-shop.
How long does a Kimbo build take?
From production-deposit reservation to delivery, a Kimbo 8 build is typically 6–8 weeks. Submitting the configurator above puts no deposit down — a Kimbo team member reaches out within a few business days to walk through fit, modules, and a real production-slot estimate. Once you confirm the build and place the production deposit, the 6–8 week production window begins. Build slots fill seasonally; the earlier in the year you submit, the more flexibility on slot date. We build in small batches in Bellingham, Washington.
Do I need to pay a deposit to start a build?
No deposit is required to submit the configurator above. A Kimbo team member reaches out within a few business days to walk through fit, modules, build options, and timing. The production deposit (40% of the final build price) is collected only when you've confirmed the build and we've reserved a production slot for you. Until then, the configurator submission is a no-commitment conversation starter.
What happens after I submit my build through the configurator?
A Kimbo team member reviews your build submission within a few business days and reaches out to walk through fit details on your specific truck, the modules you spec'd, current pricing, and an estimated production-slot date. From there: production deposit (40%) reserves your build slot; a 6–8 week build window begins; final 60% balance is due 24 hours prior to pickup or delivery. You're welcome to visit the factory in Bellingham before depositing, or to meet a current owner near you via /find-a-kimbo. No cold-call sales pressure — this is a conversation among adults about what build is right for you.
Can I see a Kimbo in person before I commit to a build?
Yes — and we recommend it. Three options: visit the factory in Bellingham, Washington (we welcome visitors by appointment), meet a current Kimbo owner near you (the owner map at /find-a-kimbo shows 600+ Kimbos on the road and most owners are happy to show their build to a serious prospect), or catch us at a regional event (Overland Expo, Camper Van Worldwide gatherings, and the press list at /press tracks where we're showing each year). The configurator above can be submitted before, during, or after an in-person visit — none of the three commits you to anything beyond a conversation.
Will the Kimbo 8 build fit my truck's bed length?
The Kimbo 8 build requires a minimum 6.5-foot bed. It fits 6.5-foot half-ton beds (Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra in their most common configurations) and the 6.75-foot to 8-foot beds on 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks (F-250 / F-350, Silverado 2500 / 3500, Sierra 2500 / 3500, Ram 2500 / 3500). An 8-foot bed is required to close the tailgate; on shorter beds the Kimbo 8 rides with the tailgate down. On 8-foot long beds the install also carries more cargo deck behind the camper. The Kimbo 8 does not fit 5.5-foot short beds — the Kimbo 6 is the platform for short-bed midsize and short-bed half-ton trucks.
