Purchasing a truck camper dilemma

We had everything from a tent up to a 31'"C", bought a used (super clean) TC to see if it would work once we became empty nesters,(best RV'in way by far) and being a mason I've always had some sort of truck, but didn't want to drive a truck everyday after retirement(which I do) so I settled on a 1 ton SRW ( w/ luxuries) as my daily driver. Like your G.P's we like to roam also. We (DW) decided on a hard side non slide for a T.C.(see Sig.) I researched and trolled the net for 5 yrs. before purchasing our forever T.C. We can camp 12 months a year and just about stop anywhere you want for the night without looking out of place. A one ton will open up your choices immensely w/out feeling like a lot of truck,(my personal opinion). Some TC's will be too much for a 3/4 or 1 ton also, no MATTER what the salesman TELLS you. Lots of choices to be had. Pop-ups are a great choice for 3/4 ton also. Check out Northstar, and Outfitter, (just a few) if you like 4 wheeling. TC's also give you the option to (trail) your toys around with you. Truck Camper Magazine has a great "newbie" section you should investigate. Mods (suspension) also come into play, I'm happy w/ just 2, Torklift stableloads, and 19.5" wheels and tires. Good luck with your search,and "ASK" lots of questions, only the dumb ones weren't asked.
