I have a 2012 Toyota HiLux and I have been looking at installing a slide on camper on the tray. Looking at the Palamino Slide ons. They look to be good value for the money. Is there any negatives that I should be aware of. I think that I would be looking to buy second hand as my dollars are limited.

For example huge outdoor plastic storage trunks used as bed bases, a ready made set of drawers for kitchen, a plastic laundry trough unit as a sink/laundry trough. With a o...
