Considering switch from TT to truck camper
We have had a 32ft. travel trailer for five years. Due to some health/mobility issues we no longer want to deal with towing. We are considering getting a truck camper to use with our 2005 Silverado ...

I always wanted to do the TRUCK CAMPER as well. I like to get back off the trails alot and it seems like the TC would be a good thing for that.
The draw back for me was loss of precious storage space by losing the truck bed. I carry alot of supplies and support items in my present truck bed setup and the front deck on my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer.
I would most likely have to pull a small utility behind the truck camper to solve this problem.
I also would have to unload the camper off the truck to be able to drive around and do some sight seeing or going into towns for supplies... I know that isn't a really big effort to do but then I would be worried sick someone would steal my truck camper sitting on the ground while I was out of the area...
If I pulled an off-road JEEP behind my truck would work but then I lose out again on precious storage space.
There really isn't alot of extra room with the truck campers. You truck will also have to be a larger unit probably with duallies to safely carry the camper...
I still wish I had a truck camper however ever time I see one...
I too am getting up there in years as well - I'm 74 now...
Just some of my thoughts
