A camper shell is a small housing canopy that attaches to the back of a pickup truck. Whether you are a camping enthusiast or simply want to keep your items safer, the right shell will help you get the most out of your vehicle. If you’re new to the world of truck accessories, here’s what you should know about camper shells. 

Why Should You Get a Camper Shell?

However, even if you’re not passionate about outdoor activities, you’ll enjoy the shell’s added protection. The insulated seal saves your cargo from rainwater and other unruly weather, and the lockable access door helps prevent burglary. 

How Do You Choose the Right Camper Shell? 

The variety available may seem overwhelming. To choose the right shell, consider these three factors: 

  • Style: Most people opt for shells in the same color as their truck, though you can select a different color for a unique look.

  • Removability: Most shells are attached with J-hooks, allowing for simple removal when you need to transport taller cargo. However, some models are easier to remove than others. If you plan to take the shell off frequently, ask the accessory store’s staff about a model’s removability before purchasing it. 
  • Accessories: If you’re interested in accessories like inside carpet lining, a front sliding window, or a rack, look for a camper shell that comes with it or gives you the option to add it.
