not sure about up north where you are but in our state there are no property taxes or registration fees for a truck camper, no added tires, wheels bearings or brakes to maintain and you already have a good 3500 truck ,we are in the process of buying a truck camper to replace the fifth wheel which was great for long stays but we want to be on the move more and use the older rustic type campgrounds so we are going to give the truck camper a shot , to costly in my state to own and operate two RV's a truck and at least one car between taxes and insurance and registrations the truck camper will cost us less to own and operate and maintain.

No additional taxes here after the original purchase. I considered a truck camper but find that they're a little too confined for me. My wife doesn't like the bed up over the cab either. If I get a travel trailer I will be able to carry my bike and kayaks on the roof and ATV in my pickup box. I will have the additional cost of insurance regardless. I can do my own wheel bearings. I'm having fun spending my kid's inheritance.
