Nic is wiredgeorge and my real name is George. I just bought a truck camper and am really stoked! Camped one night at a MISERABLE RV camp in Rockdale and that served to answer 90 percent of my quest...

Keep at it George. I've been there. Bought a used Tejas camper made in Beaumont I think, passed around at work, 3rd hand. Not one problem with that old camper. Put it on what Ford called a light duty F250. It had cast twin I beams up front but a 5/8 ton rear end. I had some kind of tie downs that went in the bed stake holes with wing nuts holding them down. That 1982 Ford was regular cab with a 300 six and 4speed granny gear. Tires were 7.50 x 16 tube type. Me and the wife and baby went all over Yellowstone and the Dakotas. I almost flipped it over in Oklahoma in high winds. Got home and ordered JC Whitney overload springs. I didn't know what a CAT scale was.
I bought a good truck tarp to cover a 4x8 trailer the father law made in the backyard and took that rig elk hunting in Colorado several years. Heck we slept in the camper going down the road taking turns driving non stop on hunting trips.
So you don't need no stinking $50,000 camper to have fun. Matter of fact I wouldn't mind having that rig back.
