Women and truck campers
Just curious to find out how popular are truck campers with women? I have no problem taking my truck camper anywhere with me… off road and on road… I really enjoy the fact that it is easy to maneuver...

When Dunes and I camped in the Moab area in 2007, we had a lady camping close by (about 60 feet away) in a 4-Wheel camper. She were having a blast, no worries at all.
When I ran expeditions along the Mosquito Coast in the early '90s (Honduras Caribbean Coast to Nica, Central America: no electricity, no cell phone coverage, no roads), I had a solo traveling Swiss (late 50s) lady (medical professional, with husband back in Switzerland, giving the nod to her travels) sign on (a liability waiver in case of death) to a brutal trek from Honduras Caribbean coastal locale (my base camp), 106 kilometers to near the Nicaragua frontier (all on foot, with rafting dry bags rigged with backpack shoulder/waist straps). My expeditions were mostly moon-light (night treks) along the beach-head, with ~34 river crossings (floating across beach-cut alligator-infested lagoons using the air-entrapped dry bags). I had villages along the way arranged to provide food and shelter to sleep during the day; we trekked during the night (avoiding the 128F and 97% humidity, but by plan, encountering nesting sea turtles, and the Caribbean shore bioluminescence)...fast forward 10 months later, and I have 2 Australian guys on the same expedition (both Australian army); I end up carrying one guy miles through the jungle to a village for appendix surgery....
...this goes to show you that women can go and do anything anywhere; the only impediment is your psyche.
