TC Boom
We went to Wyoming this month for vacation. On a typical trip to Wyoming we would see maybe 5 truck campers the entire trip. This has been the case for the last 20 years. This year we lost count. ...

Hope not too much or all of my small camping spots will start to fill up.
I grew up with two sisters camping in an 11' Franklin so knew all about the thrills of TCing and camping. Wasn't long after our second child we purchased a 30' TT because I knew with kids in diapers I wasn't going to get my wife in a TC. We sold it after 8 years plus the truck. Within a year, we had a new truck as I couldn't live without one. Then came a 35' FW with bunk room for the kids. After a couple years, I got tired enough of setting up a tent while four wheeling that I purchased a used TC "against" my wife's wish. After owning the FW and TC for a few months, I managed to get the teenage kids to convince the wife to take a weekend trip in the TC because the kids wanted to stay by themselves in a tent. A few weeks later, it was another trip pulling a utility trailer with the kayaks. Convinced the wife that the TC was better and we sold the FW with her blessing. That was 8 years ago and we are still using the same TC but on the second truck.
Longest trip so far was 4 weeks to Maine, but it was enough to convince both of us that even after retirement in 150 weeks 4 days, a TC will be the way to go for at least the first several years while we zip around the country.
