Reasons To Buy A Truck Camper?
Small Footprint
One of the great things about a truck camper is the extremely small footprint. With only a couple of feet of camper overhanging the back bumper, you are able to drive into the smallest of provincial or state camping spots or back into that ideal boondocking spot along a river in the middle of nowhere. Your next camping spot can be anywhere that you are comfortable parking your truck!
Drop and Go!
Found that perfect camping spot but now want to go explore the backroads, or maybe just head into town for dinner? No problem. In just a few minutes you can have your camper unloaded and be on your way! Truck campers are extremely easy to load on to, and unload off of, your truck. With a little bit of practice it will take you less than 5 minutes to load and secure your camper to your truck. Yes, you can drop your trailer but often this involves backing up into tricky locations which can often be awkward with a trailer. With a truck camper you can back into the tricky spot, drop your camper and be on your way before the person unloading their trailer has even navigated into their spot.
Reverse is a Breeze
As mentioned above, unlike backing up a trailer which has a bit of learning curve to master, backing into your camping spot with a truck camper is extremely easy. It’s no more difficult than backing your car into a parking spot at the mall. As long as you are aware of your surroundings, you will have no problem reversing into locations that would cause a few curse words if you were backing up a trailer. Unlike a class A or a class C motorhome, a truck camper’s small footprint allows you to make those tighter turns and reduces the chance of backing into unseen objects hidden in blind spots.
No Registration
In most states and provinces you do not need to register your truck camper. This saves you money every year to spend on your actual adventures!
Go Where You Want
One of the top reasons to own a truck camper is the freedom that they provide to go wherever you want. Truck campers are able to easily go where most RVs can’t, or you just prefer not to! From getting into your secret fishing spot on a mountain stream to driving the Inuvik/Tuktoyaktuk Highway to navigating traffic in downtown Seattle, if you can drive there in a truck, you can probably get there with your truck camper. Truck campers allow you to get off of the beaten path and escape the crowds packed into popular easy access campgrounds.
Take Your Toys With You
When you have a truck camper, not only can you go where you want to go, but you can tow your favorite toys! Heading out for a weekend fishing trip? No problem, through your fishing boat on a trailer and get out there! Looking to do come UTVing or quadding? Not a problem. Heading out on the road for the next six months? Hook up a Toy Box and bring along everything you need for all of your adventures!
