- whizbangExplorer IIDJ hit the nail on the head. It's my DW that can't stand the truck camper. I will probably hold onto it for solo outings...
- EugarpsExplorerWhizBang,
Heresy Alert In truth, a small motorhome is a more convenient and efficient way of getting about and unless you're towing something large regularly, a TC is not needed. Believe me I've thought about options a lot over the past few years. We don't own a boat and we're too old to stray very far from the pavement. We're considering either a small, very well insulated Oliver fiberglass TT (towable by our 2013 Toyota 4Runner) or a Sprinter based or B+ motorhome.
The motorhomes make the transition between sleep/eat and travel easy and the TT would allow us not to own a purpose-built vehicle.
With the health issues many of us encounter as we age, exiting a truck and entering a TC for pit-stops becomes a hassle. In our view, the TC doesn't meet our needs.
All that to say: I understand your dilemma.
Bill - rickeoniExplorerLooking at a small fifth wheel as well. Bigger campers are just too big, and if you to a 6000 pound camper you still get a small living area and a truck that is being squished under a house. The new Fox Mountain small fifth wheel might just fit the bill and still be small enough to get into some tighter spaces.
- _DJ_1Explorer III also had to get a TT as DW was too claustrophobic. But I kept my TC for my man cave and solo trips which I do most of anyway!!!
- jimh406Explorer IIITTs aren't that bad. ;). Controllers are cool.
