I'm frustrated and tired of hearing this from campgrounds. I have heard this from all types of campgrounds. This seems like an outdated policy. Perhaps Truck Camper Magazine and Manufactures could spend a little time to educate and promote the usage of their products to campgrounds.

Me avoiding the campground won't get them to change their policy. Just saying:)

I'm not understanding why you need to take the TC off, but if you always do, seems like a trailer would be a better choice.

If that isn't possible, then a different campground. I don't think education applies since the campground obviously knows they come off, but just doesn't want people to do it there.


We remove ours when we take our boat on trips. It's easier to launch the boat and leave the TC in the campground. I've never had a campground tell me not to remove it.

I don't have a TC.
It seems to me it would be more convenient if you did not remove it.

Did you ask the CG management why they don't allow them to be removed?
Maybe their reason is better than your reason for wanting to remove it.

Is this that common? I have taken mine off at campgrounds in NH, VT, NY, and PA many times and no one has ever said anything. What is their reasoning?
