Looking for truck camper answers
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 ...

Mr. Flakeboard was insistent to the extreme that the bottom of ALL palomino's were flakeboard and the 'stiffeners' were TSC fence posts and I simply proved him wrong. I knew what the bottom of my Backpack was having been underneath it and taking the so called TSC Fence post stiffener off and modifying it to accept the Tork Lift steps.
Just so happened that Lakeside gave me a hand refitting the modified 'fence post' so he knew what the bottom was as well. We were both under it...
I tried to explain that but he (flakeboard) was having none of that so I had Lakeside post the pictures of the bottom of mine (2014-15 Backpack SS1550 so everyone can see that one, no 'flakeboard' and two, no TSC fence post stiffeners.
Pictures say a thousand words...
I stated that pre-2010 and Post 2010 Palimino's have nothing in common, I did that more than once. The new ones have a solid rear wall with an RV style door, the roof is different, the lift system is different, the bottom is different and so are the stiffeners and it's a very rigid unit. No squeaks, no leaks. It's put together nicely and in 2 years of what I consider pretty hard off road use, I have had ZERO issues. Nothing has broken, nothing has failed, no leaks no squeaks and yes, I use it (occupy it) off the truck with no issue either. For what I paid for it, basically 12 grand new, I think it was a darn good deal. I paid more for the 2002 Lance I sold to buy this one.
Just calling a spade a spade..or a flakeboard a flake .....
