Hello, everyone. I am a soon to be first time truck camper buyer. We live in North Georgia, which unfortunately for visiting dealers, events and clubs to learn about truck camping and our purchasing...

Thanks everyone for your feedback!
As was noted, there really isn't a "perfect" solution, otherwise everyone would have the same truck and camper. As was also noted, we intend that the direction in which we go will be a solution for an extended period, so we are going to do our best in researching the TC solution, as we have been doing for the last few months on the truck. Unlike the truck, however, researching TCs first-hand from Metro Atlanta seems to be quite the challenge, so we'll have to make sure to roll some dealer and possibly manufacturer visits into other trips we're taking.
Bedlam, I read through the 32 pages on the Mammoth and I agree it would be possible to get lost in there. It's amazing seeing your photos that all that happens on the back of a truck. Like I said, time will tell and we're hoping for ~6500 pounds of payload once the F-350 gets delivered, but even at that a Mammoth may be a little more than our truck will be ready for. But for us likely wanting to spend quite a bit of time in out of the way places like rural Canada and Alaska, a camper oriented more toward maximum ability to be off the grid is probably our priority vs. ultimate luxury.
Thanks again everyone and happy camping.
