"Scarcer" than hens' teeth

Truck Campers are very commonly seen here in Michigan all 12 months of the year. Very coomon to see at least a dozen or more a day on the roads, in campgrounds, and on owners properties on or off the truck. A lot more when traveling. TC's are used a lot when towing a loaded snowmobile trailer going far a weekend or just going snow skiing, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing, etc and staying overnight in. Thousands of miles of groomed trails, ski trails, and so much public land, many ski resorts, and countless hills and public huge forests to play in full of trails. About 50 CG's in Michigan are open all winter long and most are in the northern half of the state including the U.P. where it's sparsely populated and is a winter wonderland to enjoy. Gorgeous! Some of the CG's have heated bath houses and showers all winter also and dish washing rooms too and the sites parking areas and roads are kept well cleared of snow. Many of them are often full in winter as we have been going to them for neraly 40 years now.

Why are the TC's being used in winter? Simply because who would want to pull a TT or 5th wheel or drive a MH on snowcovered or some slippery roads as it can be very quick to lose control of and crash. Stopping a big rig on snow or slippery roads is very iffy at best. Jackknifing is a constant threat and happens so fast. Also add in that the plowed out campsites are often quite short in length in winter.
