I've come full circle.... Back to a travel trailer!
I've camped in a tent, pop-up, teardrop, Layton travel trailer, 2 5th wheels and 2 truck campers. I am now retired and living in Florida in a 5th wheel (for now anyway). Our plan was to use our Lance Truck Camper to see the country. But as I get older it seems to get harder and harder to get the tailgate off, line up the truck on the Lance and back under it. Barbara is finding it harder climb into the bed and make it up and if we stay anywhere for an extended period, the camper comes off the truck. It's just not as easy as it once was, so she and I had a long talk about how we want to camp in the future. We decided Travel trailer... But which one? We did look at many. We almost bought one at Camping world but as he went to start the paperwork, someone hooked up to it and took it to another dealership.. I might have been just a bit irritated over that.... So, we looked at a camper we have both really liked for a long time... We just never thought we would actually pay that much for a camper... We decided Airstream... What a nice camper.. I believe I paid a lot for the name but wow what quality too. Anyway.. Travel Trailers... We are back... See you on the road!2.5KViews0likes12CommentsRe: We are Coming to the "Dark Side"

If your group has gassers and you get a diesel you have gone to the dark side. If every one else uses wood blocks and you start using lynx levelers you'd be going to the dark side. Basically when you upgrade above your peers you go to the dark side. Like when somone becomes a cop and you never see them again cause they always hang out with all their cop buddies. I think I got it!? No one said going to a 5th wheel over a Truck Camper was an up grade.. It's just a different kind of camping. I have both and love both.. My truck camper friends call the 5th wheels "furniture haulers", 5th wheel friends call the Truck campers, "those little campers" I enjoy both for what they are designed for.. It's all good!263Views0likes0CommentsRe: What's behind the name? Screen name that is.
