Using Truck Shell When Camper Off?
Greetings. Slightly off topic, but you folks are usually helpful on stuff like this. I have 3/4 ton heavy duty long-bed PU and Lance Camper. Use the Camper as often as possible and when not using camper I have a place to off-load so I can use my PU for hauling trash or doing other "honey-do" projects around the house. Before we bought the pickup and camper, we always had a Chev or GMC Suburban which was great for hauling kids (now grown) plus hunting dogs, etc.
I am about to take ownership of a new hunting dog puppy plus have a grown hunting dog. Wife wonders if we need another Suburban or Yukon XL but I hate to spend the money and pay the extra insurance. But the dogs need a decent place to ride, especially in winter. So after all that here is the question. Is it practical for an ordinary person either alone or with his 60 something wife to put on and remove a truck shell on the PU when the camper is not mounted? They look fairly light as they drive by, but neither my wife nor I are weight lifters.
Thanks for advice.
Happy Camping!
