More TC's in the past?
I ran across these two pictures on the Yellowstone NP website, and it made me wonder: Did more people own truck campers "back in the day" than they do now. Any thoughts on this? http://www.nps.gov...

Check out our Avion TC rebuilds. Perhaps we share a similar sensibility about truck campers.
I have nothing against the folks who want a large TC, but for me the Avion is as large as I want to put into a pickup truck bed. At around 2800 pounds wet it is perfect for a one ton truck. I have a 34' Avion triple axle trailer if I want something larger.
Besides, the whole idea of camping is to get outside.
I agree! We still have a 30 ft TT, but it is at my dads farm in WA state. Necessity And frugality pushed us to a TC, and now that we have done it, we will sell the TT before we get rid of the TC. People think we are crazy camping in a 1966 TC with a family of 6... But we make it work here in Alaska, and the kids still laugh at the escapades that we have endured in our home re-built Avion.
We are getting ready to jump on the ferry this weekend and get off the island for the first time this year, and it will be in the truck and Avion!
