We tent camped for 18 years and traveled all over the west and sometimes the east. At 40 I bought a Coleman PU and we did the same sans the constant packing and unpacking of the truck. At 50 we bought a small TT which we still use and the PU became my hunting camp and short trip camper. I gave it to a son years ago and the DW still comments she'd occasionally like to have the PU back.
