What's your longest TC trip?
I'm curious to hear about peoples longest trip they've taken in their truck camper? You don't hear about full timers in tuck campers a lot, but I know they're out there. Other than the obvious problem...

We have spent 4 to 5 months on a number of trips. To Alaska, to the West Coast; California, Oregon and Utah, and several winters in Florida and the Keys. Our Grandchildren have traveled with us and have flown to join us at various locations. We could not be more pleased with the usefulness, comfort and versatility of our truck camper. As we tend to stay no more than 2 or 3 days in one location , the TC is very easy to set up and pack up to be more mobile than stationary.
The tent and air mattress we carry in a roof pod operate as our guest house. We have had children (Grown), and grandchildren in various combination. The convertible sofa will accommodate an adult and a child. The back seat in the crew cab has been a good single bunk also. When the weather has been foul, we have, in smaller State and County parks, set up the tent under cover when a pavilion was available. In the past ten years of extensive travel we have most often boondocked where ever we found a likely spot. We have never been bothered or shoo'd.
Many years ago we were setting off on a circumnavigation in our Ketch "Imagine" with our three children aged 9,8 and 5. Linda found an article written by a woman who had just completed an around-the-world cruise with three kids. She said, " Sailing with children is like traveling fourth class on a Bulgarian Railroad." Limit the quantity to obtain quality, we discovered, the hard way!
