From TC to class B

FishB8s
Richard I have tried to send you a private message but I am not on your buddy's list
I love my NL TC the problem we have is my wife climing the bed, on our next trip
We will use the table as a bed for her and see how we manage that.
I wanted to know what are your reasons to go back to TC

I went from TC to Class C to Class B. I am wanting to go back to the TC. I've enjoyed all that I have had, but the TC suits me and my uses the best. I'll be back in a TC once I sell the B.

Butch, towing your Subaru..... did you have to go manual transmission? I know some you can't just put in neutral and expect to tow... is that right?

You are correct, the Subaru is a manual. I had to order it as everything on the lot was an auto and Subaru is not towable with the auto (or at least newer ones).

To tow all I have to do as getting the car ready to tow is put it in neutral and make sure the key is in ACC. Now if I had a different setup for lighting I could go ahead and turn the key off but leave the key in the ignition. If you pull the key out then it locks the steering wheel. I have a light bar that that plugs into a DC plug and the DC plugs in the car require that the ignition has to be at least turned to ACC to provide power.

with the camper van it was so much easier to stop and sleep, ie fit into a regular spot, just stand up , few steps and lay down,,
also not have to worry about the jack legs sticken out of the sides.( yes im a worry wart so to speak, alway worry that someone will run into them. extra hight to worry about.. ride is much more bouncy on expasion joints the the interstate. gas mileage 11 with truck camper vs 18 with the van,,(gas truck, i hate the smell of Diesel fuel ) PS my van was a chevy g20 that i made into a camper van, so it did not have all the great things of a class B camper van.. each has it's pluses and minuses.. with the Van I was stealthy so to speak,, IE could park and sleep at lots more places and not worry. with the truck camper it takes lots more planing.. IT's all in how you plan to travel.. the truck camper with all the goodies is much nicer then the homemade camper i made.. hindsint is i wish i spent the 11 grand i payed for the truck camper and built a better canper van after having a truck camper.. I'll also Add it's just me then i travel. :( everyone's needs are different.. IF I put a pen to paper and wrote out a pluses and minuses list !! i would of not chose a truck camper.. so my advise is to pen and paper it out so to speak..

Kenny...we appreciate the input...but that's not really comparing a Class B to a TC...

Thanx

I bought a truck that was rigged for a 5ver with a potential 5ver for the future. Funny though, I can't find one that I like that much, and also, I do really enjoy parking just about anywhere.

A few people here have bought smaller fifth wheels as well as some that switched over and back. :)
