We are just beginning to look at the idea of truck camping, and I have a couple of very basic questions. When you are camped and want to visit nearby areas, do you unload the camper or take it around with you. And if unloaded, do you load it back on to camp or leave it unloaded? Also, when travelling with pets and sightseeing along the way, is there a generator to cool the camper when parked?
1-We usually leave the camper on the truck and site see with the combination.Having a very large and heavy camper makes this much harder so camper length and weight is important to your personal needs.
2-Unloading can be a chore without electric jacks.
3-Traveling with a truck camper and a slider window makes it possible to slightly cool or heat the camper as you go with a boot of some sort.Doesn't make a huge difference but it does help.
4-When parked we always use a little Honda gen to run the AC when needed.We never had any issues with our two dogs and staying in the camper as we did things.Our Lab and Border Collie both passed recently and were still in denial, so were not pet owners temporarily.
Good luck on your choice of a truck camper for your needs.
