I'm guessing if it has the aluminum floor you won't have to worry about wood rot any more.
I always thought I would end with a Tc but I would never have enough room left for all the stuff I carry along on my trips. I would definitely have to pull a small util trailer behind the truck. Living out of the bed of truck is a must have storage space for us... I'm a PLAN B nut for sure...
I also always thought the crank up tent top for the TC's was a neat idea but that probably really opens up the possibility of water getting inside...
Seems like the damage I am seeing of late has to do with the tie down between the truck and camper. Folks like to overtightened them I think... Was a good report on here with pics last week showing where the TC frame was pulled apart due to this.
Got to keep the wife happy with whatever you end up doing... My wife is full blown TEXAN - they all shoot first and then ask question later...
