Finally found the time to write up the details of my custom build (with lots more pictures). See the 9-part series in this post.

PART IX - Conclusion That's the story start to finish. We’re going to miss this camper. But looking forward to my next winter project—building out a lightweight shell for my new F-150. Looking at something like a Tune M, FWC Project M, or ORU Bruin (or maybe I can talk Marty into building me an...

PART VIII - Finishing When I picked up my camper from ATC, Marty let me sort through the scrap pile and pick up several scrap pieces of the white interior paneling, and I also bought an extra 4’x8’ sheet of the same paneling (a bit of a challenge to get something that big into the camper). That...

PART VII - Electrical Will Prowse’s web site and forum were invaluable for someone like me who knew nothing about solar power, or even electricity for that matter. After a lot of research I just built his “Beginner Friendly all in on solar power system” (see this video) which was pretty easy...

PART VI - Heat and Hot Water After a lot of bad experiences with the typical RV water heater, furnace, and propane fridge in our 29’ old motorhome, I wanted to go a totally different direction. For hot water I installed a cheap propane-fired instant water heater under the kitchen counter. I...

PART V - Dinette I really struggled with a design for this one, but am very pleased with the way it turned out. I wanted to eat facing my wife, so the normal side dinette couch was out, and a front dinette wouldn’t work with my fixed bed slider configuration. I originally planned to have two...

Part IV - Bathroom Having an interior, semi-private, flushing toilet was a mandatory requirement for my wife. I only had a 24” x 34” space to work with (the fat part of the camper behind the wheel well), so it took some doing to get it all to fit. I found a 9 gallon gray water tank that...

PART III - Kitchen Installed a scratch and dent Smev two burner stove and Thetford sink I found on Ebay, both with fold-down class covers which leaves a large flat countertop when closed. I bought a cheap pullout faucet from Amazon that hooks up to fresh water pump and water heater. To save...

PART II - Fixed Slide Out Bedroom Similar to what Vic did in his build, I cut 6” off the 28” slide out panel and permanently affixed it to the rails. I built a frame underneath the overhang out of 80/20 and mounted most of the large and heavy items under that—including the 30 gallon fresh water...

PART I - Planning As everyone knows who has dealt with ATC, Marty is amazing to work with—never too busy to discuss details or work together to come up with the best solution. The whole planning and ordering process was amazing, as has been the ongoing customer support. You just don’t get that...

After following this forum for quite awhile, I was finally inspired to buy a completely bare Puma shell from All Terrain Campers back in 2020 and do the entire build out myself (after selling my way-to-big way-too-luxurious Bigfoot 1500). I picked it up our new beauty in February—timing was...

Selling my 2020 ATC Puma (8' floor length, 78" width) with side dinette, custom kitchen, cassette toilet, inside shower, 320W Solar, 105 Ah lithium battery. Located in Salt Lake City, Utah. All Terrain Camper Puma Pop-Up Camper

Sadly, I’m selling my beloved “COVID project” custom build camper. 2020 All Terrain Camper Puma in excellent condition. The Puma has an 8’ floor length that I carry on my 6.5’ Ford F-350 with zero issues. It hangs less than a foot beyond bumper and we really appreciate the extra length. Strong...
