Hello all,
I am an experienced, long term class A owner. I would like to get myself a truck camper for occasional use, probably never more than a week at a time, and by myself 99% of the time...the wife only travels in the class A! I am imagining a pop-up type camper, for easier access to off-road locations, old-time/bluegrass music festivals, and etc. We live in southern Arkansas, and I can't ever imagine wanting to use the little camper for cold weather camping (below 32F is very cold for us southerners!).

For a lot of the reasons you state, would you consider a pop-up camper more seriously over the hardside? I think that it will be the most feasible on your existing truck. Granted, the misconception that pop-ups are light is true, but the lower profile (and generally narrower) can provide for better handling over a taller hardside. The weight of a pop-up can add up though.
I have had both pop-up and hard side. I like the hard side for the winter camping in my region. But I miss the PU's for the summer (I really need both depending on my season...LOL)
Northstar, hallmark, Outfitter make some really nice PU's with all the comforts of a Hardside.
