Two overlapping composite shells — no canvas, no compromise. Closed, it tucks to just 22" over the cab and clears a standard garage door. Open, the same shell rises to 40" over the cab and 87" of interior standing height, so you sit up, change, and move freely.

Why We Built It

The first TacoHut shell mounted on a Tacoma in the shop Shell No. 1 · Kadence Composites shop

One was too big. One was too small. Not one was just right.

It started on the long way home — Montana to Oregon, then down the 101 and through the Avenue of the Giants to southern Utah. I was tired of hotels, but my Tacoma's 5-foot bed had no room for me, my wife, and our two Bernese Mountain Dogs.

So I went looking for the perfect camper. The soft tent toppers weren't built for what I needed — to just pull over and sleep for the night. The hard shells sat so tall on a mid-size truck I could picture one leaning through every corner. Too big, too small, never just right.

So I decided to build one. Something that closed like a pop-up tent — but better. Two composite shells that overlap: a top that slides up for full standing room, and drops low and garageable when it's time to drive.

Light. Secure. Built to last!
