# Dual Slide Pickup Campers Roam Rider SL Pickup Camper Expands with Pop-Up Roof and Twin Slide-Outs By Amy Duong | Published 2026-05-02 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-rider-sl References: [roamrider](https://roamrider.com/)  The [Roam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-desperado-rooftop-tent) [Rider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-motorcycle-helmet) SL pickup camper is a compact off-grid living unit designed to mount onto short-bed trucks while expanding into a larger living environment at camp. The Roam Rider SL pickup camper combines a [pop-up roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-land-wingman-pickup-camper) that increases interior headroom with dual slide-outs on both sides, adding approximately 20 cubic feet of usable space. This dual expansion system allows the camper to remain compact in transit while opening into a wider interior footprint when deployed. The interior integrates sliding components to manage space, including a pull-out induction cooktop, slide-out sink, and a refrigerator mounted on a movable tray. Sleeping arrangements include a main slide-out bed sized for two people and a secondary convertible bed for a third occupant. The camper also includes a shower system, 24-gallon water tank, and off-grid power setup with lithium batteries and solar panels. Climate control is handled by a 7,500 BTU air conditioner and a diesel heater.
