Pre plunge questions
I'm getting the itch to have a TC around for those sporting events we take the kids to. Basically I need an overnighter. I have a 2011 F250 four door 10,000gvw diesel short box. I am leaning towards a pop up so I can store it in my garage when not being used. Here are my issues.
I see a lot of 8' campers in short beds with the tailgate down. Is this common and ok. My bed is 6'9. Could I just let the last foot hang in the air and take the tail gate off? I would like to tow a boat and clearance with gate down may be an issue.
Secondly most of these units (my shopping is limited to the used market) have not bath rooms or showers. I think we could get by with no or a outside shower and I have no objection to a porta potty but what are folks doing about a privacy curtain?
Third. Is there anything I should look for or avoid with popups?
