The story
Kimbo Living has entered the delivery phase for the Kimbo 8, a hard-side truck camper developed for eight-foot pickup beds and certain six-and-a-half-foot full-size truck configurations. The company’s product page identifies fall 2026 as the period for the first deliveries.
The Kimbo 8 is the larger-bed companion to Kimbo’s existing pickup-camper products. The company describes the camper as a Series 8 model and says it is being produced in the company’s Bellingham, Washington, factory. The published production information emphasizes a hand-built process using marine-alloy sheet material, with panels joined by closely spaced rivets and the completed shell pressure-tested.
Kimbo’s product page also describes a reservation and configuration process leading into production. The company says early production reservations followed the model’s public debut and that customers could finalize configurations and confirm production slots before delivery.
The model is aimed at owners who need more interior length than a compact short-bed camper can provide. Its compatibility information covers eight-foot beds as well as common six-and-a-half-foot configurations among full-size pickups, giving the product a wider potential fit than a camper limited only to long-bed trucks.
The Kimbo 8 remains a removable pickup-bed habitat rather than a flatbed expedition body. That distinction matters for owners who want to retain the ability to use the truck without the camper or remove the module for storage. The product page focuses on factory construction, fitment and delivery timing rather than announcing a new technology system or a change in company ownership.
The fall delivery milestone marks a transition from public debut and reservations toward customer production. Final availability will depend on the company’s production schedule and the configuration selected by each buyer.
Why it matters
The Kimbo 8 shows continued investment in hard-side removable campers sized for full-size pickup platforms. Its planned delivery phase is relevant to the market because it expands current choices between compact short-bed campers and larger custom expedition bodies.
