We bought a truck camper to go to Alaska for 10 weeks in 2007 (we did not take our 5ver). Only place we made res. was Denali. There is always a place to stick a TC. Was going to sell it when we got back but everyone wanted it for nothing(after all it is a TC and they can't be worth much). 2008 found us on a 8 week trip to the west coast. 2010 a 8 week trip to the south west. 2013 a trip to the Maritines and many other trips some with the grandkids. Everyone has an opinion but I never saw anyone with a 35' 5ver turn around in the middle of the road to go back to take a look at a huge black bear. Plus my wife can help with the driving. Ron
