Gary and all. I'll be back in the US in the next few weeks. Right now we are in Istanbul overlooking the Bosporos. We spent several weeks truck camping in Northern Europe in a Tonke camper mounted onto a Mercedes truck. We stayed outside of the cities with the exception of Copenhagen where we camped in an old fort on the seaside.
There is no comparison in terms of costs or comfort between a TC and the hotel/restaurant/tour bus world. The TC wins hands down. We were camped on the shores of the Baltic Sea the night of last month's "Blood Moon" which we viewed with our own spread of foods and drink.
The Europeans are in awe of the Airsteam and vaguely aware of the Avion. But they have little to no experience with truck campers. We had dozens of inquiries about the Truck Camper with one German commenting it was "not normal".
The "normal" camper is a TT "caravan" or a class C. We were much larger which led to some tight corners in the towns and villages we visited.
But, we loved it.
Avionistas onward!
