- fpooleExplorerI'm camping right now (today) with it off, full time, and unless I have a reason, camper stays on truck. It's just me so climbing in and out of truck to load it can be a PITA to get it just right.
My biggest concern is the wind blowing when I put it back on. I have a "high flatbed" and the jacks are close at 1-2" max'd out on level. I use 2" blocks to give a little more "Clearance Clarence" but gets a little wiggly at that height.
All that to say, I'll keep in on... less hassel and doesn't really make a big difference to me. View is better on the truck. If in a quiet forested area, probably take it off, easier to get into it. - gboppExplorerDo all campgrounds all you to leave the TC off the truck?
- billyray50ExplorerIf I was camping for about 2 weeks at same spot Yes... If not ....Always stayed on truck.
- skyhammerExplorerI remove the camper every chance I get.
- jimh406Explorer IIII've never found a need to.
- KD4UPLExplorerI take mine off sometimes. If I'm launching or retrieving the boat it makes it easier but I've. Sometimes if we're going to go to a zoo or amusement park I'll leave the camper at the camp site. It costs less to park a truck than and RV. Also, I don't like leaving the camper and it's contents unsupervised in a parking lot. I'd rather have it at the campground.
I can take mine off in about 15 minutes. Putting it on takes a little longer to get it lined up. - TrackrigExplorer IIWhen I had a TC, I didn't remove it, the thought never occurred to me. It went on the truck in the spring and didn't come off until late fall unless I had something I needed to haul in the truck.
