Do you remove your camper from the truck while camping?

[tmartin000]

I'm curious, home many of you take the camper off the truck at the campsite?



If so, any tricks or concerns?

Here's one we came across last Summer at Summit Lake State Park in Indiana. I guess the owner of this take it off when camping! :B

I';ll remove it on my hunting trips (a week or more) so I can drive the truck. Other than that, we are rarely at a site for more than a couple days.

I'm camping right now (today) with it off, full time, and unless I have a reason, camper stays on truck. It's just me so climbing in and out of truck to load it can be a PITA to get it just right.

My biggest concern is the wind blowing when I put it back on. I have a "high flatbed" and the jacks are close at 1-2" max'd out on level. I use 2" blocks to give a little more "Clearance Clarence" but gets a little wiggly at that height.

All that to say, I'll keep in on... less hassel and doesn't really make a big difference to me. View is better on the truck. If in a quiet forested area, probably take it off, easier to get into it.

Do all campgrounds all you to leave the TC off the truck?

If I was camping for about 2 weeks at same spot Yes... If not ....Always stayed on truck.

I remove the camper every chance I get.

I've never found a need to.

I take mine off sometimes. If I'm launching or retrieving the boat it makes it easier but I've. Sometimes if we're going to go to a zoo or amusement park I'll leave the camper at the camp site. It costs less to park a truck than and RV. Also, I don't like leaving the camper and it's contents unsupervised in a parking lot. I'd rather have it at the campground.
I can take mine off in about 15 minutes. Putting it on takes a little longer to get it lined up.

When I had a TC, I didn't remove it, the thought never occurred to me. It went on the truck in the spring and didn't come off until late fall unless I had something I needed to haul in the truck.
