Some musing on new developments in Truck Campers.
My first Truck Camper near Colima, Mexico. 14mpg on diesel.
That Volcano behind my rig looked like this today!
OK back on topic.
This is my new truck and topper. 24+mpg on regular gas.
Mixed feelings on the new rig, love the truck and it's great gas milage.
Not at all happy with my SnugTop!
The topper is back in California on it's second trip to SnugTop for warrantee problems.
Every window leaks.
Maybe a California built topper isn't suited for North West rain.
Just after I bought the topper news of new smaller Truck Campers caught my interest.
My truck can only carry a 930 pound camper according to its camper loading paper.
Yet at least two camper manufactures have models to fit my truck.
Travel Lites new Rayzr SS at about 890 lbs.
Capri Campers Cowboy model.
At only 400-500 lbs.
Both have caught my interest. But like every other RV I like some things and dislike other things about them.
So the crazy part. Having built a stitch and glue boat I'm thinking about building a Plywood, epoxy, and fiberglass stitch and glue small Truck Camper.
The boat took all my spare time for two years. Sweet wife is trying to stop me as it would take up the entire garage. She doesn't want to give it up that long again.
Photo of my 1996 stitch and glue boat connected to my then new 2003 truck and last topper. Best ever with the topper was 19 mpg on diesel.
I only need a place to sleep and a portapoty.
Thumbs up or down what say you?
What are the chances they will actually get my SnugTop to stay dry?
