Looks like I may have raised some questions with my photo #319 of the Dutch Tonke TC mounted on the Mercedes Sprinter diesel. I assure you it is a true truck camper that is lifted by Reico jacks.
Its true most of the European campers are class C, but truck campers are starting to show up. It really makes sense given how expensive the trucks are that the campers extend their use.
My wife, daughter and I traveled to Holland, Germany and Denmark in the Tonke TC this Fall. It was an amazing trip that I'll report on in TCM later this year. I consulted a number of this Forum's European members, including sabconsulting in Britain and Flaxi in Germany, before and during the trip for tips and advice. Without this Forum, I think it would have been a far more difficult undertaking.
I hope that you will consider the photo for the calendar. Truck Camping is worldwide as our Australian and European members show.
I voted for this one 67avion before I read this post. An unusual TC for sure but still a TC in that it rides on the back of a truck and can be dismounted. I think it would have been more obviously a TC if the jacks had been attached. Wonderful scenery too. It was a hard choice between this one and the one with a windmill. Went with this one as I thought the rig looked better in it.

Sure would be nice to be able to scroll thru the full size pictures instead of open and close each individual picture.
Right click on the thumbnail image, select "Open image in new tab". (using Chrome - similar in other browsers)
It's much faster, the image is bigger and you can leave your favorite tabs open for later review decisions when voting.

What's with those European Class C's?
You mean the one flat demountable on the mercedes lorrie?
Yep. Pretty far stretch calling that a truck camper just because the "coach" can be removed. What's it take to remove it? Crane?
It would be a TC, although the body is pretty big. Locally built 19ft Model with Slidout room, on a 4x4 Sprinter

Bulk of US Truck Campers in Australia are now on 4 x4 Euro Cab Chassis Vans
Now this qualifies as a truck camper. Not that 25' coach mounted on a flatbed
