Went looking...getting a little closer

... There sure are a lot of aspects to truck camper ownership! A lot more than I realized I was getting myself into. It's changed a lot since my early days in the 60's when any old pick up would slap on any old camper, toss the kids in the camper so they could look out the over cab window and head off on an adventure. Ha! I kind of miss those times when I wasn't so informed, that the world wasn't so much at my fingertips. I suppose I cheated death as a kid with all the stuff we used to do and I'm concerned we miss out on adventure because we are scared off by other's experiences we hear more about. The bottom line is, though, risk is assessed by the risk taker. Do what ever you think is right and safe for you. As a group, the members and posters here on the truck camper forum are pretty independent that way; not easily intimidated by anecdotes but also pretty well educated in their choice of recreating in a TC.

This is very well stated.

It does get very challenging when we know so little about a subject we over react on the side of caution. It is a good thing to be cautious, but it sure can be easy to be overly so.
