Hi TC fans,Was just having a nice daydream of what truck/camper combo I'd scoop up if a winning lottery ticket somehow appeared in my pocket......which made me wonder...what would YOU buy for your combo if money was no object? Where would you go with it?I'll go first:I think I'd have a 2014 Ram 5500 crew cab 4x4 Cummins chassis-cab custom built to carry a TC, then when that's ready to go I'd drive to an RV dealer for an all-options-selected Host Mammoth triple-slide. After a few days of figuring out how everything works, I'd then set off for about a year-long trip visiting some of my favorite places, starting here out West with places like Heron MT and Mammoth Lakes CA, then make my way East for a trip down memory lane by visiting Ohio (where I'm from), NJ/NYC (where I worked & lived for several years), PA, VT, NH, ME and the numerous favorite "getaway" spots I used to visit when I lived in NJ.So dream a little on a Wednesday...you just hit the lotto & all your affairs are in order...what are you buying, where are you going?

Ford f-450 crew cab dually King Ranch edition. I like the high end 5ers. NOT sure of the brand name would have to shop around for that, but probably one of the dealers/builders that let you customize them to your liking. Then the road we would hit. Western USA and all points in between. Utah, Montana, Idaho, North and South Dakota's, Washington, Oregon. Basically each state west of the Mississippi. I love looking at the photos of bloggers who have traveled these parts. once I have done that, maybe a trip to Alaska and back home to good Ole NC. then head up the eastern coast line all the way to Maine and back down another way catching the heart land.randy

This! A Unimog U500 and a Phoenix or Northstar Pop-Up Truck CamperWhere would I take it? Anywhere my heart desires. :)

Deuce and a half with custom built cabover with dual slides. Basically any flatbed heavy duty truck with that setup. I daydream about that quite frequently.If I was to purchase new I'd go with a slide out setup and a Ram 5500. I'm not familiar enough with brands yet to know which particular one. :D

I have always like Host too, they make some lovely unique rigs.This has always been one of my favorites! You did say money was no object, didn't you...? ;)Host 34

I'd have a custom camper built along the pattern of the old dry bath Eagle Cap 1150.
Toss it on a 450/4500 class truck and head for Patagonia.

My dream camper would be ship - a big trawler or commercial ferry, fitted out as a yacht. The launch would be big enough to deploy motorcycles, a TC or short Class C.

Anchor places for a few days/ weeks/ months, explore, move on when bored or whim strikes.

Vancouver, Alaska, Baja... Nova Scotia, Caribbean, Yucatan, Brazil... South Africa... Mediterranean... UK, Iceland, Nordic Countries... Hawaii, Australia/ New Zealand.

Humans don't live long enough to really experience the whole place, and I've already wasted half my lifespan.

If money was no object I would be in a SuperCrew F150 4x4 and a quicksilver truck bed camper.
