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 ...

Our other option is a Class B, but the truck camper seems roomier and more comfortable. We are experienced campers, downsizing from a 38 foot class A with toad. We want more mobility than before, but easier setup than our current popup.
My camper/truck combo has way more space and carrying capacity than my first ClassC on Toyota chassis.
20' ClassC was 5000lb, F350 with 12' camper is close to 15,000 lb.
Campers are not very popular, so even walking via them is not easy to arrange, but I found single slide the best bang for the size.
Multi slides give you more floor space, what is not really usable, while cutting down wardrobe storage.
I own 2 campers of the same size and very similar floor plan.
One was basement model other side entrance.
When basement model offers way more storage, it adds 1 foot to the height, so think air drag, less stability and observing bridge signs.
Side entrance is very practical when you travel a lot and make often stops, but also takes some interior storage away.
As concluded above >>> everything is a compromise.
