For sale as a package are a 2007 Nissan Frontier 4x4 manual CrewCab longbed and a 2008 Four Wheel Camper, Eagle model.

Both are super clean and very well kept for their age, as they haven't been used heavily and I am very particular about taking care of cars/items :) We have two babies and seeking more comfort for the expanded family, so we are upgrading to a larger truck/camper - this is the perfect setup for 1-2 people (and sleeps up to 4), it's spacious and practical while low profile, we get 18-19mpg with the camper attached driving around 65-70mph. The truck is happy to go faster, even 80mph, but of course the mileage drops at those speeds. We're super sad to be selling it, but at least for the next few years camping with little kids, we need more space...

The truck has only 60,000 miles, a long bed crew cab 4x4, and has the 6-speed manual transmission. This is an extremely rare combination and took me 9 months of searching to find it originally (the truck was in Boise, Idaho and I am the second owner, the first was a 70+ year old couple who hardly used it and it was kept in a garage). Do your research, in my opinion it's a better truck than the Tacoma (and I own 2 other Toyotas), has a more powerful engine that's more fuel efficient, and the Tacoma was never available in a crew cab long bed with a manual transmission. The crew cab is pretty key even for 2 people, because the rear seats can be used for storage (so you can keep the camper clean and clutter-free, and easy to setup). Almost new tires, Goodyear Duratrac - great in the snow and all-around. Frequent oil changes with Mobil 1 synthetic oil, etc. etc. - again, the truck has been extremely well taken care of.

The camper is a 2008 Eagle model, and cost around 20,000 new. It has the following options:
- Extended cabover bed (Queen size)
- Electric water pump
- 2-year old Waeco CR-65 65L 12V DC fridge
- Solar panel, aux battery
- Screen door
- Power fan vent
- Front opening window
- 8' side awning (Fiama)
- Rear flood lights
- Yakima rack
- Rear wall steps
- LED interior lights
- Factory hydraulic assist lifting system
- Forced air propane furnace with electric thermostat
- Smart battery tender
- I also have reflectix wraps for insulation for winter camping

I have a 2005 Frontier short bed so I am generally familiar with the truck but do you have additional photos of the truck/camper you could share? Likewise, is it possible to give you a call to talk about this set-up? Thanks much!
 
Hi there,

Here's some more photos though they're a couple of years old: http://sightly.net/peter/nissan/photos/
They don't show the new tires (Duratrac LT235/85R16E1 120Q B - E-rated 10-ply sidewalls which is better with the weight of the camper, BTW it also has supersprings installed in the rear).
And my phone number is on there, do give me a call and I'm happy to chat :)

If you want I can take a picture of anything you're interested in... it's been snowing here hard now since yesterday but I'll dig the truck out today when it stops :) again, these photos are a couple of years old but this has been a 3rd/4th pleasure vehicle so it really doesn't have the wear and tear that you'd expect on similar aged trucks, we have other vehicles for daily drivers. That said I've kept the battery topped up with a solar panel and try to drive it at least once every 2 weeks to keep everything lubricated.

Thanks for the interest!
Peter
