The Emotions in a TC
I thought I'd share my thoughts (and our conversations) over these last few days... The other half mentioned really wanting to sell the TC and get a small trailer. Why? Because of the cons of own...
Forum Discussion
It comers to mind as I read the comments in this thread from TC owners and visitors from the trailer, class C and MH forums.
All of our rigs are two parts: living quarters and a method to move them around.
The major difference is:
1) Two seperate parts: Truck/truck campers and trucks with trailers or 5th wheels
2) And all in ones: truck chassis with living quarters... like class A's, Class C's, and class B's.
-------------------------
When jammin' the OP, started this thread she was in love with her camper. If the truck breaks down, or she just wants a new one... no problem.
If someone has a fantastic truck but would like to have a differet truck camper... no problem. The same goes for a TT or a 5th wheel, they can change either half as wants or needs arise like a accident of mechanical failure.
Jammin' and most of us TC owners prefer the freedom of lifestyle and ease of spur of the moment decisions to go off road or boondock.
TT and 5th wheel owners are always tethered to the campground where their TT or 5th wheel are parked. They can go 1/2 a day from their rigs... then they must return to their rigs for the other half day... just in time for bed.
If the truck fails while traveling... the TC owners can rent a different truck to move the living quarters (so can TC, TT, and 5'r owners) and keep on traveling
..............
Now... the owner of the Class b's, C's, and A's
The all in one units seem to me to have a dilema.. when the engine or transmission fail... or have a wreck... they lose their living quarters too...
And it seems that I have seen at least one of these three parked in every transmission shop parking lot that I have seen in every town in all of the lower 48 states and many in Canada.
A question comes to my mind... how do they get home, where do they stay, If the drive train is a complete loss what happens to all of those expensive applainces, all of that fancy furniture, all of those bath rooms, the crystal and the handwoven carpets in those superior coachs? They can't move from campground to campground without a drive train.
....................
So Jammin' let me say... I think that many others can't love their RV's like Truck camper people... Other RV's can't go to the same places without being on a leash, or they can't depend on always having their living quarters available.
Truck campers may be cosy... but they'll always be there when you need them... when you purchase them it's for as long as you want, not just till the drive train fails to a point where it doesn't make since to do the very expensive repairs.
