Growing up in the small town of St. Michaels, Maryland, Colin Hower developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship while working in the maritime industry, building custom boats and honing the precision and skill required in yacht construction.

When he eventually found himself trading saltwater for the mountains of Colorado, Colin picked up new hobbies like kayaking, rafting, dirt biking, and off-roading. However, the more gear he accumulated, the smaller the back of his first-generation Tacoma seemed to become.

Driven by the need for a better solution, Colin began designing an all-in-one hauling system — the foundation for what would become HowerBuilt Campers.

Leveraging his background in boat building, construction, electrical work, and engineering, Colin and his team developed their first production unit: a standout truck camper offering the highest lift capacity on the market. Built specifically to haul all the gear you could dream of without sacrificing space, HowerBuilt Campers are redefining what it means to travel fully equipped.
