TC observations and questions, and Labor Day
Looking at our truck camper future: and wonder how long it will be before it can no longer be used. Labor Day is the traditional end of summer.... how many of you are going to have your campers out...

I am truly envious of you folks who have started early enough in your years to have TC camped for over ten years already. I am just getting started, 2 years ago with a wonderful 50 day trip to Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Eastern US in our Palomino Bronco. Sold that and are now upgrading to a Lance 1181 and GMC 3500 and our next trip is Alaska for 80 to 90 days to see the northeast corner of our North American continent. We will be taking a short one week trip in the new rig end of Oct, this fall to iron out bugs before winterizing it and spending the winter planning our Alaskan trip in 2016. We just spent a whole week re-caulking all the seams on the walls and roof of the Lance 2005 to help make it last our next 10 years of adventures - got 3 more corners of the continent to see yet. cheers christl
You will LOVE Alaska in a truck camper. We did it last year and traveling in the TC allowed us to get off the beaten path. We stayed all summer, did the Kenai, Juneau, Denali Highway twice, and all the way up to Prudhoe Bay on the Haul Rd. That was one of my favorite parts.
My blog has an index on the right, and one of the labels is Alaska Trip. Try to stay late enough, end of August ish to see the Northern Lights. Amazing!!
here are a couple of summary posts

We are already in the camper for the weekend. Since we've been staying in Hades Hot Havasu, we try to escape to higher elevations every weekend.
