Scout Campers has released its second pickup truck camper, the $19,240 Yoho 6.0 that can sleep up to four people.
The Yoho can be placed on the bed of a mid-size pickup truck like the Toyota Tacoma or Ford Ranger.
Yoho's interior includes a kitchenette-like area, a bed, and a dinette that can convert into another sleeping space.
The camper can function off-grid by using its solar panels and lithium power station.
Scout Campers has released its second model this year: the Scout Yoho 6.0 camper unit that can sit on a mid-size truck bed for $19,240.
The Scout is a "backpack for a truck," according to its maker, in part because it carries several camper essentials, such as an enclosed sleeping space, lights, and a dining area. This allows the unit to have the same components of a camper van with the bonus of being pickup truck-capable.
The 913-pound camper was built with the intention of allowing it to be placed on mid-size trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger, turning a pickup into a #VanLife-approved camper. Its lightweight build — which is achieved by using aluminum for its frame and fiberglass for the exterior and roof — sets Yoho up to be one of the most portable hard-wall truck campers available in the market, according to its maker.
Similar to Scout's Olympic, the camper is off-grid and four seasons-capable, according to its maker.

Despite these similarities, the Yoho is a bit smaller than its Olympic predecessor with a floor length of 69.75 inches long, exterior width of 74.75 inches, and an interior height of 75 inches.

The Yoho has wood-less composite panels, shielding the camper from potential rotting, according to Scout Campers.

The tiny off-grid home on wheels includes a bed, dining area, and kitchenette-like space.

Its L-shaped dining area can be converted into two beds.

This allows the camper to sleep four people total: two on the “Convertible Lounge” and two on the bed.

Several kitchen components — such as a dual burner cooktop and refrigerator-freezer with WiFi— come as an optional add-on besides the standard sink and sink cover.

The camper is also equipped with a gear locker that's 66.4 inches wide, 17.5 inches tall, and 6 inches deep.

There's also a moon roof, which is similar to a sunroof but transparent and tinted.

The moon roof and Yoho’s windows all have screens and solar shades.

However, these windows aren't the only potential source of light in the camper: there's also an LED ceiling light strip.

Like the Olympic, a 4.5-BTU fireplace comes optional as a tiny home heater.
