These truck campers and trailers are unbelievably expensive. I just completed a slide in camper for my truck with solar power and a diesel heater for under 5500.00.

Wife and I finally went "beyond a tent" and bought a 21 ft. camper - no slide-outs or frills, just a queen-size bed, kitchenette, and full bathroom, ('cause we're old).

Pulls easily behind my truck, small enough to maneuver anywhere, and had two solar panels installed on the roof for off-grid camping.

It was our 25th wedding anniversary gift to ourselves. Was very affordable, (we're um, pretty frugal).

Looks cool, but too much set up, take down. We went from tent to pop-up and loved it except for the above mentioned set up and take down.

I looked into truck campers, but if I ever have to bug out of a campsite, I don’t want to have to leave the safety of the camper to get to the cab.

My goal now is to minivan camp and I am gearing up to do just that. :)

Someone actually makes a seat for a ‘sheetrocker’s’ mud bucket! I usually found two logs or a good rock to back up to. The bucket would have been ‘luxury’.

I know a few people who have these, and used one once

No thanks, way too small for more than one person.

the bed is uncomfortable.

The battery drains daily, although if you spend extra you can get a solar panel for it which I would recommend if you decided to get one

Friends just bought a Mercedes Sprinter fully tricked out RV for travel. They spent in the high 100s for it. It’s really nice, but close to $200k? Yikes!

Other friends have a 22 ft RV with a bed over the cab. The chassis / cab is a Ford F300 (I think), so very heavy duty. They splurged on super mattresses which they like a lot. When they visited this summer, they preferred to stay in their rolling home in our driveway rather than our guest room.

one my neighbors had a 34ft rv that he offered to sell me for $600 yes it was made in 1990, but it ran and drove well

Unfortunately I had nowhere to put it.

My mother had an a-frame she loved until she could no longer lift the frame... in her 80s.

That’s what it was designed for - and outdoor weddings/venues. I just think it’s pretty and practical. :)

My next vehicle will be able to tow things - just in case I see an abandoned teardrop camper needing a home/rehab. ;)
