What's your longest TC trip?
I'm curious to hear about peoples longest trip they've taken in their truck camper? You don't hear about full timers in tuck campers a lot, but I know they're out there. Other than the obvious problem...

Our last 4 TC round trips to Alaska from south Florida have run in the 12,000+ mile range. The longest of the 4 trips was in 2006, when we went by way of Boston, across the US and north to Alaska and return. This trip was 16,369 miles which was our longest TC trip to date.
Most of these trips we spend about 90 to 100 nights on the road. The TC works the best for us now that it is just my wife and I traveling together as our daughters are grown. On the alternated summers our two young grandsons often go with us so the TC, a Lance 845, can get a bit small, but works for towing our Jeep Wrangler out to run the Jeep trails in Colorado. Some summers we will take our 5th wheel out to Colorado and rent a Jeep in Ouray, to use for a week or two. Many of the back roads, we just take our 4X4 Chevy pickup as it is fine on many of the back scenic roads of the state.
Most years we will spend close to 150 nights out on the road in one of the two RVs we own. We are currently on our 5th truck camper.
The plan for this coming summer is to take the TC back to Alaska, perhaps up through the Boston area again as that is where our youngest daughter lives. This would be the 14th round trip to/from Alaska by RV for us, plus several more by car/truck and a few more by small aircraft following the Alaska highway.
It would take some really unusual circumstances for me to even consider trying to live full time in our TC, the 5th wheel, maybe. We tried full timing for 2 1/2 years in a Class A and didn't care for it at all, as it got in the way of our traveling. LOL
