Stowable hard walled pickup bed camper

A camper sized to fit atop a periphery of a pickup truck bed, the camper comprising:

• a left side panel formed of one or more substantially planar panels together sized to extend along a left side of the pickup truck bed and having a length not longer than a longitudinal length of the pickup truck bed;
• a right side panel formed of one or more substantially planar panels together sized to extend along a right side of the pickup truck bed and having a length not longer than the longitudinal length of the pickup truck bed;
• a roof panel formed of one or more substantially planar panels together sized to extend between the left and right side panels and between the front and rear panels and having a length not longer than the longitudinal length of the pickup truck bed;
• a front panel formed of one or more substantially planar panels together sized to extend across a front side of the pickup truck bed and between the left side panel and the right side panel;
• a rear panel formed of one or more substantially planar panels together sized to extend across the rear of the pickup truck bed between the left side panel and the right side panel;
• at least one opening to admit one of light and air;
• at least the left and right panels each including a watertight mechanical seam releasably formable between each of the front and rear panels, the mechanical seam not causing the left, right, front, or back panels not to be substantially planar when the mechanical seam is not formed;
• whereby the left, right, front, back, and roof panels are stackable one flat atop the other and stowable within the pickup truck bed when the mechanical seam is not formed;
• wherein the front panel is articulated by a living hinge.
