Which camper is best for you?

 

A reader asked us why we chose a truck camper. This is not an easy question to answer. To fully understand what worked best for us we had to go through some crazy research and changed our minds several times. In the end we think the research and time spent going through every different RV made helped us make a well informed choice. 

Our wants list looked like this;

Affordable, shower, toilet, a bed that was always made, one that we did not need to turn into our table, four season, meaning we would be comfortable in freezing temps, Safety= hard-sided, removable so we could sell it or use the vehicle for other things. We could leave the camper and drive the truck to other destinations. We also wanted to be able to travel with the comforts of 4 wheel for snow or off road. Clearance on the vehicle. We wanted to get decent mileage, Ha! Maneuverability was huge on the list. Our camper needed to fit in a regular parking spot which is typically about 19 feet.  

That list narrowed our choices to a truck camper or a small class b or c which means a van conversion or a van or truck chassis with an rv put on the back. The vans rarely come in a four wheel version that are affordable. The rv types are usually not built very well or are in the hundreds of thousands for a quality rig. If we chose the later we would be stuck with a vehicle that had a single purpose. 

There is more to it than this but I had to finish this post in a reasonable time. We have a deep understanding of rv systems and capabilities after our research. If you have more in depth questions we would love to discuss. Just add a comment. 

Thanks for reading!
