The choice of a truck camper is one that value mobility over being able to take every possible piece of camping gear. The advantage is that it takes us 3 minutes to pull into a campsite and be done and about 3 minutes to get back on the road again.
We do not haul firewood and it is a bad practice anyway as you may be transporting bugs and disease as you travel. I have a brush saw and a small axe if wood is available for gleaning or buy it at the camping spot. We use camp chairs that collapse and slide into fabric tubes so they take very little space.
We purposely bought a truck with an extended cab and the back of the cab is used for storing things we do not want in the camper or items we want to get to quickly while traveling.
I added two solar panels to the camper roof so no need for a generator to keep the batteries charged. If we do hit high temps we travel to higher or cooler country to avoid using the AC but if that is not practical we will spend a night at a campgound with 110v AC shorepower and plugin.
