Truck Camping on the ragged edge
My new truck and camper.
My old truck and camper in Georgia.
Old truck and camper got about 14 mpg on the highway.
My new truck and camper gets better than 20 mpg.
Present tank full reads 23.2 mpg.
Wow that really opens things up for me!
It still has a 382 mile range, all that and the tank only holds 26 gallons.
Main things I disliked about the old truck and camper.
Whenever we had to camp around most dog owners.
Long cold evenings cooped up in the camper.
Things I may dislike about the new camper.
It sure is small.
Down sizing can open doors. Less money spent on a RV can mean more money for travel.
We have found long cold evenings can be fun in a hotel with a pool and hot tub.
My new rig is small but a night or two in it then a night in a motel can be nice.
We started truck camping that way then went to the Lance. Now smaller again.
Oh yes we tried this Jeep Patriot and tent on top trailer.
Alas it was a lot of work for this old goat.
So now it's just 17.6 feet of total length.
My wife has a dear lady friend who drove the Pan American Highway. She has a husband whose thinking about it.
