I Bought an Alibaba Hardwall Pop-Up Camper – Hiper Lion

For close to ten years now I’ve been on the verge of buying various different pop up campers but never had the guts to pull the trigger. In Canada, nearly all of the options we have access to use a wedge tent pop up, and the very limited hardwalled options are very expensive (albeit very high quality).

I recently bought and installed a Hyperlion hard-sided pop-up camper from Alibaba. Before this, I owned a Four Wheel Camper Fleet (base model), which I really liked—but it turned out to be too heavy for my Tacoma and too cramped for me, my wife, our growing son, the dog, and all our gear. We also have a 24-foot RV, and my wife declared that as our family camping rig, not the Four Wheel Camper.

First Time Ordering a Camper From Alibaba – Full Process Revealed (Hiperlion)

I finally did it. I bit the bullet, clicked “buy it now,” and bought the perfect set up for my truck. I’ve changed my setup so many times I don’t even remember all of them at this point, but this one is the final iteration of my overlanding build. But, like everything I do, I’m focused on doing it on a budget and for a fraction of the price of most comparable campers.

Small trip with the hardsided pop camper

To recap our impromptu adventure, I packed some food and sleeping bags, hit the road to the nearest open trail, backed into a sweet spot, lifted the hardwall topper, started the diesel heater ,dropped the stainless firepit, and lit the fire.

Will this hiperlion camper survive his first Winter?

I kicked back to roast some meat over the fire with a beer under the skylight, feeling like I was off from of the world. The diesel heater worked its magic, keeping us cozy all night long, and we woke up at 9:30 feeling refreshed. One of the best things about the hardwall camper is that it’s pitch black inside, making it perfect for lady morning.
