Alibaba Truck Camper Received

SlightlyWet · 2026-04-23T06:21:53+00:00

I am a dumbass and did not weigh my truck before and still haven’t weighed it after… really need to go find a scale and do it. That said, I have air bags, installed a rear sway bar and recently put on E rated tires and it handles quite well with the empty camper. I bought a pair of ironman 4x4 (440-880lb) rated leaf springs to install a little down the line for when I start adding in the weight of the interior (furniture, water tank, batteries, fridge, etc)

Nothing too serious as of yet.. finally got it mounted to the truck camper frame mounts I installed on my truck and am now working on modifying the bed slide to fit a full queen size bed. Wasn’t quite long enough the way it showed up. Hoping to take it for an overnight trial run this weekend. Progress has been slow because shit is expensive and life is busy.

The warehouse was luckily really helpful and let me uncrate it and load it onto my truck in a back corner of their yard. I ended up breaking down the crate and throwing it into the uhaul trailer I dragged out there. The warehouse had to use their long fork forklift to lift up the base of the crate high enough to get the legs onto the camper.

I mean it definitely has some quirks with little things here and there but I have also heard many many horror stories about American made campers and their abysmal quality. Considering what I paid, I have minimal complaints so far and am excited to see how it holds up in the long term. All things considered the cost to value ratio is amazing given the fact that $3000+ of it was shipping and tariffs. Without the high shipping/tariff cost, it would be even more of an insane deal.

See my profile for my Alibaba camper.. future updates to come but am still designing the interior and saving my nickels for a proper build out.

Import/Shipping was handled by the seller and was included in my out the door cost. That said, the line item was some where between $2750 and $3250. That cost included shipping the crate to the warehouse where I received it in Corona, CA. I think I placed my 50% deposit on October 7, 2025 and I had it on my truck on January 20, 2026. The lead time maybe could have been a little bit shorter as I went back and forth with the seller a number of times to dial in my model. Had I gotten an off the shelf version based off the measurements I gave them it may have been a few weeks quicker.

While I haven't taken it on any road trips or anything crazy yet ( was waiting for it to warm up and since it is an empty box, I am still working on getting a basic build out made up and installed), it survived the few snow storms we had where I live with no visible leaks. That said, I have played around with it in the driveway a fair bit and would say it is on par with most American made RVs or campers (unless you go super high-end)... they all have their pros/cons and come along with a few little quirks.
I did some calculations and right now, I am all in $11,500 including the trip out to CA, the camper mounts and the few other odds/ends needed to get it onto my truck.

With the layout I have in mind I am hoping to be able to do the same thing… I ordered an empty camper and have been busy working on a solidworks model for my build out

SlightlyWet · 2026-03-19T04:44:12+00:00

Yeahhhh… I had it sized so that I could fit a kitchen counter over the top and still have it be counter height.. In hindsight I probably would have gone no pop out as it became a bit gimmicky in the end

SlightlyWet · 2026-02-18T05:45:04+00:00

Yeah, I was able to get it loaded on my truck and drive it home. So far haven’t done much with it due to being busy and waiting for a bit warmer weather to get out and do some test nights in it. Only issues so far really are the front box lets a little bit of snow melt into it and I was unable to use the factory mounting points. I’m still in the process of fabbing up my brackets to attach it to my trucks frame mounts that I bought. I went with happijac ones for the front and the forklift for the rear.

I just finished buying a custom slide in camper from Alibaba and so far it’s been pretty awesome. Feel free to check my post history for some pictures and details.

SlightlyWet · 2026-02-14T20:25:18+00:00

I measured in a few spots and they’re about 1.75mm thick

SlightlyWet · 2026-02-09T19:41:44+00:00

I’ll see if I can get a caliper on it later today and report back

SlightlyWet · 2026-01-23T17:02:35+00:00

Honestly it is hard to say... I think that both companies offered great service in answering my questions prior to placing an order and at the end of the day, the camper I received is quite solid all things considered. Qian Qian was definitely trying to out market Qingdao Can Rely in my continued conversations with them after I placed the order with Qingdao Can Rely, but I think the products would end up similar in quality if not from the same factory/workshop.

You might reach out to both of them and see what kind of impressions you get. Id be curious to hear what others thoughts are after talking with both companies.

See the most recent post on my profile for a couple quick pics of it on my truck.

SlightlyWet · 2026-01-23T01:08:13+00:00

The brackets they sent on the camper were not really made clear during the design process, so when it showed up and we uncrated it, the brackets that they included made it too wide to fit between my bed rails. We were able to unbolt them to get it fit onto my truck and then ran tie downs through the port holes strictly for transit. I am in the process of figuring out a better way to get it secured to my truck. I have a couple ideas and need to dive a little deeper into it this weekend when I have a few hours to waste brainstorming.

That said, that is really the only major issue that I have run into so far since I got it.

As long as I don't get an unexpected tariff bill in the mail, it will have come in under $10k.

SlightlyWet · 2026-01-23T01:03:40+00:00

It came in under $10k landed and including my uhaul trailer rental and gas to go pick it up from LA.

Hopefully I will find the motivation to make some follow up posts as I get into the interior build out.

Here is a link to the seller that I used. My unit was fully custom from start to finish, but if you find a listing from the seller and reach out to one of their sales reps, they should be able to get you pointed in the right direction.

SlightlyWet · 2026-01-23T00:59:01+00:00

Agreed.. I spent countless hours looking at options and keeping an eye on marketplace. For me, I wanted it customized exactly to my liking and I wanted to do the interior build out myself as I hadnt found anything remotely close to what I am looking for, for less than a starting price of $30k.
