Hey, thanks for the quick replies! I appreciate it.
The Tacoma I have was given to me by my elderly Dad before he passed away. It's a stock 4 banger not a v6. It only had 20k on it at the time so I've personally only put 40k on it, it's like new still so I really would rather, if feasible, upgrade rather than sell it. I realize from researching (what I've been doing since posting here :) ) that at least a 3/4 or even 1 ton truck would be more ideal.
Great advice on the teardrop's. They look cool, but ya, a few days of bad weather and wet cooking might be a bummer. I've been looking at the Four Wheel Camper Fleet Pop-Up's as a possible solution. Nice slide in campers with cool features. They're website makes it seem that just a rear suspension upgrade and load bearing tires will do,? American RV Company is about two hours from me.
My plan is to spend several months just traveling around the States, see the sites, visit some
relatives and play my guitar by a campfire, type stuff. So, ya, I'd be living in it for awhile.
Questions,
1) FWC seems great, what other pop-up camper manufacturers would you recommend?
2) As I mentioned earlier, it 'seems' like I could just upgrade the rear suspension a little, put on some load bearing tires and be good to go, true?
Thanks again!
Mike
