Is less ever more?
Some musing on new developments in Truck Campers. My first Truck Camper near Colima, Mexico. 14mpg on diesel. That Volcano behind my rig looked like this today! OK back on topic. ...

I'd rather be in a tent than a truck bed with a topper.
I've done it, when I was 19. Then went to tents, a cargo trailer, fiver, TT, TC's, toyhauler now back in a TC. It fits and works for our needs...but I'll take the 12 mpg hauling my junk over double the mileage and living in a truck bed.
Go with a small light weight TC if you don't upgrade trucks, but remember you'll have a ton of upgrades if you do.
Vinsil, while I have to agree, depends on how you travel and where you camp.
On out trips to Southern CA (Hammers), we usually end up in a rest stop, truck stop, or random pulloff in around Shasta. Then we are camping in the desert. WIth the wind that can happen, tents won't stick around. I camped in the back of the truck for a couple years. not as warm, but with the Buddy Heater, it was tolerable. :)
