Toyota Tundra Camper Top | ARE Truck Caps
We built our Toyota Tundra camper top to match the rugged capability of your truck. This fiberglass camper shell delivers year-round protection for gear, tools, and cargo while opening up your Tundra for weekend camping adventures or full-time mobile living.
Every shell is molded to fit the Tundra bed perfectly — flush mounting, factory-matched paint options, and reinforced mounting hardware ensure a secure, rattle-free install. Carpeted headliner, tinted safety glass windows, and a smooth gel-coat finish give you the refinement you expect from a premium camper top.
Whether you're hauling equipment to the jobsite Monday morning or loading bikes and gear for a Friday escape, our Tundra camper shell keeps everything dry, secure, and ready when you need it.
Core specs & construction details
Fiberglass Construction & Durability
Our Tundra camper shell starts with hand-laid fiberglass composite — the same material trusted by boat builders for its strength-to-weight ratio and weather resistance. We mold each shell in two halves, then bond them with aerospace adhesive and reinforce the seam with additional fiberglass matting.
The roof panel includes internal ribbing to prevent flex under snow load or rooftop cargo. Corner caps are double-thick fiberglass, and hinge mounts are through-bolted with stainless steel hardware. We finish every shell with a smooth gel-coat surface that resists UV fading, oxidation, and minor impacts.
Bed Fitment & Installation for Toyota Tundra Models
Model-Year Compatibility
We manufacture Tundra camper shells for every generation from 2000 to current models. Each shell is molded to match your specific bed length — 5.5-foot short bed, 6.5-foot standard bed, or 8.1-foot long bed. Mounting points align with factory bed stake pockets and tie-down locations.
Our flush-mount clamp system uses eight to twelve mounting points depending on bed length. Rubber-coated clamps grip the bed rail without drilling, and thick EPDM weather stripping seals the gap between shell and bed rail. Installation takes two people about 45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Windows, Ventilation & Interior Features
Every Tundra camper top includes tinted sliding side windows on both driver and passenger sides. Each window has a locking latch and a removable fiberglass screen for ventilation when parked. Tempered safety glass meets DOT standards and blocks 35% of solar heat.
The rear door is a full barn-door style or lift-gate depending on your preference. Both designs include a three-point locking system, integrated LED brake light wired to your Tundra’s harness, and a heavy-duty gas strut or hinge assembly. Weather seals run the full perimeter of the door frame.

Common Questions About Your Tundra Camper Top
Yes — we manufacture shells for every Tundra generation from 2000 to current models. You'll need to specify your model year and bed length (5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or 8.1-foot) when ordering. Each shell is molded to match your exact bed dimensions and mounting points.
If you're unsure about your bed length, measure from the inside of the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate. Our customer service team can confirm fitment with your VIN.
Weight varies by bed length. Short bed shells weigh approximately 180 pounds, standard bed shells around 200 pounds, and long bed shells near 220 pounds.
Two adults can lift and install the shell, but we recommend having a third person to guide alignment during mounting. Some customers use an engine hoist or gantry for solo installation.
We offer factory paint matching for all Toyota color codes at the time of order. Submit your paint code or VIN and we'll spray your shell to match before shipping. This ensures proper surface prep, primer, and clear coat application.
If you prefer to paint it yourself, we can ship the shell in primer-gray gel coat. Use automotive-grade paint and follow standard fiberglass prep procedures for best results.
Our shells are weather-resistant with properly installed EPDM seals and door gaskets. The fiberglass structure itself is waterproof, and we seal all seams during manufacturing.
Occasional mist or condensation can occur in extreme temperature swings, which is normal for any camper shell. Ensure all clamps are tightened to spec and seals are clean for best performance. The included weather stripping creates a tight seal against your bed rail when installed correctly.
Yes — the roof is reinforced to support aftermarket roof racks, crossbars, and rooftop tents. We offer optional Yakima or Thule track systems installed at the factory, or you can add universal crossbars using our mounting hardware kit.
Roof load capacity is 200 pounds dynamic (driving) and 600 pounds static (parked). Always distribute weight evenly and follow rack manufacturer guidelines.
Installation is a two-person job that takes about 45 minutes. Our flush-mount clamp system requires no drilling — clamps grip the bed rail and bolt through existing stake pocket holes.
You'll need basic hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers) and a ladder or step stool. We include detailed instructions, all mounting hardware, and weather stripping pre-cut to length. Some customers choose professional installation through our dealer network.
We back the fiberglass structure with a limited lifetime warranty against cracking, delamination, and manufacturing defects. Paint finish, windows, locks, and moving parts carry a three-year warranty from date of purchase.
Warranty registration is automatic at time of sale. Keep your purchase receipt for service claims. Coverage includes material and labor for defects but excludes damage from accidents, misuse, or improper installation.
