If there is already a thread that addresses the same stuff by all means let me know, I don't want to beat a dead horse so to speak. ![]() I know this is pretty generic but I think it would be a good thing to hear some opinions and options from the crowd on one thread. I am not opposed to a used rig if I can put together a reliable combo. This will be for 2 people (kids are grown) ![]() But I would entertain any other trucks that might fit the bill, I want the best most reliable combo and I won't let brand bias get in the way of that.Ĭamper needs a bathroom and creature comforts so a lot of the off road campers while I like them, the significant other is not as thrilled. I am partial to Ram trucks (I have owned them before) I have a tacoma currently but toyota has nothing that can really carry a camper. At the moment Its a clean slate, I would be picking out the truck and camper together expensive but I like being able to pair the right truck with the camper instead of having to make do.Ĥ Season is kind of important one of the trips I have is Alaska/Canada at some point and don't want to be limited by equipment. I like SRW trucks and I have had a Gas HD truck before. I'm torn on Diesel and Gas and on the fence about DRW vs Single as well. I would prefer to buy once cry once so it needs to have some longevity to it, more so the camper, I know I will wear out trucks. I live on the east coast (GA) but we like to travel just about anywhere, and we tend to travel to a different spot everyday instead of parking in one spot kind of thing. Any rough off-roading can usually be done on the dirt bike or side by side (another reason the truck camper combo works) Boondocking doesn't have to be weeks at a time but I would like to get off grid from time to time. I don't rock crawl, but I do like to spend time in the backcountry in national forests etc, and would like whatever combo to not limit that as much as possible.so I guess.Don't care about rock crawling in Moab, but if I want to spend a week on dirt roads I don't want to be limited. Pretty much an all around recreational travel vehicle. I generally don't go for the bottom budget things on big purchases but I also don't have to have custom over inflated, I am looking for reliability and longevity and if there is strong resale available that would also be a factor. So having said that this is kind of what I am looking for out of a rig, and I prefer to purchase pretty much built. I have been reading as much as I can here and on other forums so I figured I would throw out a thread and give an opportunity for some opinions and ideas I may not have thought of. Note: Chapter Seven in my book Camp for Free: Dispersed Camping & Boondocking has a detailed discussion about how to keep your dogs safe.So I have decided that a truck camper suits my needs the best in the rv department, and I am sure like a lot of people I can sometimes suffer from paralysis by analysis syndrome.lol.
