Full-timing in truck campers?

Are there any couples out there full-timing in a truck camper?

Thanks.
  • We spend up to 6 months at a time in any one vehicle and after this first couple of months in the Bigfoot, it is working out very well.

    It has most - or nearly all - of the facilities we have in the Airstream packed into a smaller space so apart from the reduced room, we have nothing to complain about.
  • My wife and I and two small dogs are a year or so away from living half the year in our camper. we have a park model home base for the winter months but in May we will knock around WA for two or three weeks and then head into BC and AK, returning to WA at the end of October. We have many friends and family in AK but I think we will still live out of the camper. It's not a huge camper and when we camp we mostly just sleep in it. We've always done almost all the cooking outside. And the pups love to lay around a campfire...me too. I guess full timing with a storage shed or two might work. Can't imagine getting everything I own in just a camper though.

    What type of Fulltiming are you planning on doing. For many, it means many different things.

    One of our well known couples just started, a week ago, their own adventure of fulltiming in their Lance Camper.

    Seriously?

    Like you wrote in one of your earlier posts, you should read Mello Mike's blog.

  • Harrysteven, what do you consider full time? Some leave for weeks, some leave for months. I do not recall articles that someone has lived in their truck camper for years!!!
