We’ve now produced five movies for The Project M Experience at Live Work Dream. And there may be a few more in the works as we hit the road again this spring. But I realize now that we haven’t yet published a list of our Project M specs and all our selected options and additions. Special thanks to Mary for asking! So without further adieu, I give you…
The Project M is a lightweight pop-up truck topper from Four Wheel Campers. Different from a slide-in camper, the M is an empty shell inside. This lets you use the bed of your truck. And, it allows anyone to build out the inside however they like. Or, leave it empty for hauling cargo. Don’t miss our custom camper build video to see how we customized the inside to meet our needs for long term travel.
The Project M topper is available for nearly any size truck, and the Jeep Gladiator. Ours is installed on our 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 four wheel drive pickup.

Our Project M Specs and Camper Options
We put a lot of thought into our desired Project M specs and options. After doing the math, we opted to purchase various options and accessories directly from Four Wheel Campers. This saved us money on some things, while making the installation complete and simple. We left the factory ready for adventure, and spent our first few nights camping wherever we wanted. Find complete details below. And, visit the Project M Topper website to select your preferred options and configure your own custom camper.
We intend to use our Project M for extended trips and long term travel with plenty of boondocking. So, we selected the following options for our Project M truck topper from Four Wheel Campers.
