Building A 4x4 Truck Camper | DIY Hard Side Pop-Up

I finished building the hard side pop-up for my truck camper. The pop-up is built of DIY composite panels and mounted to the camper with 5 drawer slides. Gas struts (AKA lift supports or air struts or gas springs) are employed to help lift the contraption. This was a big step in my camper project and I'm excited to be past it.
