Why aren't Truck Campers popular in W. Pa.?
I don't get it. With all the hunters, fisherman and unlimited destinations, why aren't TC's very popular in Western Pa.? Heck you can't even find a dealer with a decent inventory within 5 hours....

Well here's my update. By the way thanks for the PM's from some members here. Lots of good info.
We picked up the TC in Lynchburg, Va. from Timberlake RV. Kudos to Mike, Roy, Jeffro, and Lamont for the warm reception and attention. They're about to get a good lesson on TC's and accessories when they bring Lance in. The Adventurer is everything we thought it would be. Clean, attractive and well designed.
I had already installed the Torklift Tie Downs before we left. Jeffro the mechanic was happy about that. You haven't done it right unless you install them over a soaking wet freshly undercoated frame! NASTY!!
I'm sending the $330 suspension stabilizers back as the camper fits and rides perfectly.
The plan:
-Ordered Brophy steps today
-familiarize myself with the plumbing (it's winterized but stored inside now for the winter) and electrical. Where is the grey tank?
-2 new batteries to bank together
-order back up camera. Where do I run the power too and through what?
-My original pop up I had 25 years ago had storage under the mattress. It was huge. The size of the bed and 4" high. I'm going to build a box under there this winter
-order a prefabbed square tube about 3' for the hitch extension.
Travels w Yoly had some good mods in his videos. That sucked with the door stop but mine has one and it's in the right place. It also has an LP gauge on the tank.
The TC is about 10'-8" on the 250. My garage door is 10' so I dropped the TC down on a lil utility trailer and it just barely fit in my warehouse. I put wood blocks on the axles under the springs so it wouldn't snap the springs. Just a bit tippy as they say but its in, and protected from the suck ass winters we have here.
All in all, the hardest $20,000 I've ever tried to spend has come together with a lot of planning and advice from here and the internets.
I have some more questions but I'll start another thread for that.
