Slide-in camper for ranger

Did anyone ever manufacture a slide-in camper for the ranger Or home made one ? If so pictures please.
It seems to me like a good idea to have one made for a small pickup.
The right weight and size, sort of a mini version of a full size slide-in camper .

Welcome to the forums

Yes, here are some for small pickup: Ford Ranger Camper: Options For Ford Ranger Camping Enthusiasts - Savage Camper

You will need overload springs added, and maybe sway bars as Rangers do not like to haul top heavy loads

Popup is best unless you are into winter camping

DIY campers tend to be very heavy, customizing a tall shell for sleeping is an option
