I had an owl hit my old truck camper back in the '70's... it ruined the moulding and crumpled some of the aluminum siding on the front right corner of the nose.
I've also seen some limb damage on other peoples truck campers...
A very nice thing about TPO is that it never gets brittle from age... it doesn't have any phthalates (the chemical that makes the "new car" smell as it evaporates from plastics... then the plastics get brittle.... sun light accelerates it) GMC started using TPO for the dashboard in their Kodiak's a few years ago... remember when cracked dashboards were common?
And...AZDEL a replacement for Luan.... I would pay as much as $3000 to have the "skin" on my 2003 truck camper replace with the replacement that Lance (and Others?) have come up with.
They have some other interesting videos at their website: Click here; Then click on "In Recent News"
It would be nice if we were getting links from our truck camper friends about other manufacturers innovations.
Informed decisions are essential if you don't want to waste a lot of money on the wrong camper or the worthless truck made by an otherwise good company
I've learned a lot on the truck camper forum over the last 10 years... most of what I've learned has helped me make wise(r) decisions and put my hard earned money to the best use.
Thanks to all of you.
