These have been very informative posts for me having never camped in a TC or even owned a truck. My thinking for a TC was that I could always use a truck as a second vehicle. I also noticed most of you have DRW trucks. Did purchasing this kind of truck for other uses factor into your decision for the truck and a larger camper? If you did not require a DRW for other uses at home or farm use would you have purchased a SRW truck and a lighter camper? I have been driving for over 50 years without one so my only reason would be to haul a TC and maybe some firewood.
