A lot is happening in the overlanding industry. So much so that it’s hard to keep track of who’s who. Case in point, the $2,750 Tusca HitchHiker trailer by Tusca Outdoors we covered last year doesn’t carry the same name. As a matter of fact, the trailer doesn’t even come from the foundry it originally belonged to. First revealed by New Atlas, the bare-bone sleeping trailer is now dubbed Freedom Camper and is a part of Redneck (a Missouri company specializing in hunting blinds), outdoor products catalog.
So, what does it mean for the outdoor enthusiasts who were planning to buy the affordable trailer? Well, you need not worry since it’s just the name and branding that have changed, not the purpose of the trailer. The camper pod still sleeps a couple inside the fully insulated, hard-shell structure. The best part about the whole acquisition (if we may say so) is the camper being available in lighter, sleeker versions. This is done because Freedom Camper comes in two versions: Trailer Mounting Kit and Truck Mounting Kit.
Available in four sizes, 48″ x 79″ (Ideal for Midsize Trucks), 48″ x 89″ Freedom Camper (for Full-Size Trucks only), 58″ x 79″ Freedom Camper, and 58″ x 89″ Freedom Camper (compatible with Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra, GMC Sierra 1500, and Nissan Titan), the Freedom Camper stands out for its featherweight design, tipping the scales at 190 pounds (80kg). Long story short, the camper pod is compatible with all full-size trucks that have a 5.5-foot bed and larger. Due to its ultralight build (180- 190 lbs), it requires only two people to load, unload, and store the camper.
This lightweight construction is also a boon for those with smaller trucks or weight-conscious setups, ensuring you can haul it without needing a heavy-duty rig. Despite its minimal weight, the camper doesn’t skimp on durability or functionality. It’s crafted with a patented manufacturing process that delivers exceptional insulation, making it a true four-season companion. Plus, the camper’s durable construction is designed to withstand the rigors of backcountry travel, so you can focus on the adventure, not the upkeep.
Another highlight of the camper is its modular, adaptable design. It’s not just a truck bed camper, it’s a multi-purpose solution that fits seamlessly into a pickup truck bed, a utility trailer, or even a toy hauler platform. This flexibility makes it ideal for a range of adventures, from solo hunting trips to family camping getaways.
Inside, the Freedom Camper offers a cozy yet functional space. While compact, it’s thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort, with enough room for sleeping, storage, and basic amenities. Overlanders will love its lightweight portability and ability to handle rough terrain, while casual campers will appreciate the ease of setup and simple interior. Disclaimer: if you are an elite camper who wants the luxuries of Mammoth Overland, this rig isn’t meant for you.

Nevertheless, its lightweight design, four-season insulation, and modular versatility make it a standout choice for anyone who craves adventure without the bulk of traditional campers. As aforesaid, Freedom offers both trailer and truck installation kits for properly securing the camper to the vehicle of choice.
While the camper is intentionally designed to be a minimalist basecamp, one can still customize the rig as per their needs. “Whether you want to mount awnings, solar panels, roof racks, or ventilation fans, the Freedom Camper makes it easy to create a setup that fits your lifestyle,” the company states. Starting at $3,299, Freedom Camper’s Trailer and Truck mounting kit can be availed from the official website of Reneck Blinds.
