Truck Camper and Razorback Football

[breeves2245]

I need some advice on a trip I am planning to put together next Sept. Do not own any RV, but have been researching and reading about truck campers the last couple of years. Retiring in four years and would like to tour the Western US for a while in a truck camper. Probably a pop up, since it will be only me.

I live in Arkansas and when I saw Colorado St on our football schedule, I figured what a great opportunity to test out camping and driving a truck camper. I can fly into Denver a few days before the game and rent a truck camper from Cruise America. One of the few locations that rent this combo. It's the Ford 150 with a modified Lance. Camp maybe Wed to Sat, return the rig and then go to the game.

Question - Colorado St is in Fort Collins, about an hour north of Denver. What would be an easy itinerary to maybe hit a few camping areas for some hiking, fishing, etc.? Don't want to do a lot of driving since my time frame is relatively short. Also want to work in some micro brewery tours, but I can handle that one myself.

I saw one of these while I was out west this past summer. They were with me in Cody and Yellowstone. It was small but looked good and was road worthy. GO FOR IT!!!

Somebody thinks differently. I doubt they are in the white knuckle rental business. Go for it and enjoy the experience. College fans can travel well. That was part of our buying experience in Oregon (go Ducks).

My opinion is, no Ford F150 is capable of hauling any Lance safely. You might find that to be a white knuckle vacation...

Renting what you might purchase is a great plan. Except for not being able to drive around an area except with the whole thing I loved my 4x4 Chevy and Beaver camper.
