Skinny Guy Campers Announces Truck Camper Model 5.5

Skinny Guy Campers continues its impressive model expansion with the 5.5 for full-size short bed trucks, according to a report by Gordon White for Truck Camper Magazine. The Bristol, Indiana team also announces lower pricing across the board, updated model trims, and à la carte options. And get this. The 5.5 has more floor space than the 6.5. Wait, what?

For the past three years truck camper manufacturers and gear companies have experienced a nearly relentless cascade of material shortages and price increases. In turn, they’ve been forced to increase their camper and product prices on the rest of us, often more than once.

This is why it was so refreshing to hear that Skinny Guy has actually had their material prices come back down enough to adjust their camper prices. This is a trend we hope to see in the rest of the industry as the pandemic economy and the fervor it created cools. Amen.

In another exciting development, Skinny Guy has reevaluated their trim levels and found opportunities to further reduce the final unit price and add value. This is another admirable trend I hope to see proliferate throughout the truck camper marketplace. With their newly updated and enhanced Skin ’N Bones trim level, Skinny Guy is leading the value charge.

Of course, none of that is the star of today’s story. That designation belongs to the new Skinny Guy 5.5 featuring a new floor plan for full-size 5.5-foot short bed trucks. As if it wasn’t impressive enough that Skinny Guy made a 6.5 foot model with heat, light, water, power, and an optional flush toilet, now they’ve found a way to put all that in a 5.5-foot model as well. And somehow, the 5.5 has more floor space than the 6.5. Is this beanpole alchemy? Skinny Guy sorcery? There’s only one way to find out.

For the details, we talked to Jason Bontrager, CEO and co-Founder, and Justin Sturgill, Sales Manager for Skinny Guy Campers. Pull up a seat, Slim. There’s a lot to digest.
