Lance and Northstar Campers, Built for Adventure

We’re proud to be Southern California’s headquarters for Lance and Northstar truck campers, with both hardwall and pop-up options for short and long bed trucks. Whether you’re after off-grid capability or weekend convenience, we’ll help you find the right fit.

As an Authorized Service Center, we provide expert installation, system integration, and ongoing service for everything we sell. From parts and accessories to complete maintenance and repair, we’ve got your camper covered.

Camper Shells and Truck Accessories for Every Adventure

We’ve been outfitting trucks for weekend warriors since 1971. As Southern California’s largest dealer for LEER and SnugTop, we offer camper shells, tonneau covers, truck lids, and accessories to match your lifestyle and your truck bed.

Whether you call it a tonneau, truck lid, bed cover, or topper, we’ve got it, along with lighting, racks, bed systems, and other gear for camping, hauling, or tailgating.

Every product we sell is professionally installed by our experienced team. We work with top brands and build trucks the way you need for play, recreation, or a little of both.
