My wife and I along with 2 cats full timed in a Northstar Igloo for a couple of years. That ended basically because of the pull of new grandkids.
Anyway, I do not understand what your questions are. I did get it that you have physical limitations but I doubt I can be of any help with that consideration.
Personally I have some definite preferences. I would not want a camper with any slides. I don't want the excess weight and I want full use of the camper without setting up and extending slides. I like to pull over mid day or several times a day when traveling have lunch and take a short nap. I have also done quite a bit of stealth camping and camping in tight areas where a slide would not work.
I also strongly prefer a wet bath and a cassette toilet. Your preferences seem totally different. I would not want to travel with an extra jeep, bike, and 50 gallon fuel tank.
BTW, you do not need to wait if you want to travel with a dog.
My questions are simple....
Who has full timed in a truck camper of ANY type? Can you share your experiences with me and any things you learned?
What was your setup and WHY? What would you change? What if anything did you wish you'd had?
Yes for some having a simple TC to crawl into and eat lunch or take a nap is all you want. I'm looking a head to those times I can't be sitting outside due to weather or other issues and need to stay inside. So a TC with more floorspace is going to be more comfortable.
I'm not sure what me wanting to take my toys with me matters?
I have spent most of my adult life reading about all these places to go 4Wheelin or touring on a bike. So I am finally going to do that.
Yes I KNOW I can RV with a dog. BUT if I have to leave my RV for 12+ hours or say take a sightseeing trip on the bike for 2-3 days the dog is going to leave a MESS in my RV by the time I get back.
Thanks for the replies.
