Rainforest settings for TC photos?

Well, the trucks are typically smaller in Australia.

In California, it is about a 3 hour drive from rainforest, to ocean beach, to alpine mountains, to open plains, to desert. Ranging from 200' below sea level to 14,000 ft above, and annual rainfalls from less than 2"/yr to over 150"/yr. That 3 hour drive is typically on the freeway though, not along cowtracks and through streams :).

No Tropical Jungle in California. Yes I have been alll over California, prefer New Zealand for dramatic changes in scenery in a relative small area,

Funny how the rigs seem to follow the general stereotype, the Australian ones seem better suited for the rugged “outback” and the American ones are huge heavy hotels.

Basically means you are limited to where you can go. More top heavy

Maybe he'll clarify. I tried to guess what he meant.

The vast majority of truck campers are in the USA & Canada (maybe include northern mexico)...not a lot of tropical rain forest around.

If you want some pictures, look for blogs of the pan-american highway. The Central America portion and if they divert to Brazil will usually get you some pictures in jungle.

These TC’s more correctly Slideons are valuable going through Rainforest or were you need a Low Centre of Gravity carrying a Camper

Active Popup Camper and a forest setting

Saw many TC's in Alaska last summer. Most of them rentals.

It rains a bit on the West Side in Oregon and Washington. I think what you are noticing is that there are more people doing trip reports from dry areas because there are more people on here from those areas.

Also, most of us would rather camp in dry areas most of the time. That's just a short drive over the Cascades.
