Please help me decide on a truck camper
I'm trying to decide between two truck campers from two different manufacturers. One is northern lite and the other is lance. I like the design and construction of the northern lite except it's use of wood in construction but the fewer seams on it is really a great design point I think. The lance has more seams but uses azdel rather than wood in construction and so won't rot or mold even if it does leak. The northern lite has a great floorplan with no slides. The lance model I like has a great floorplan but has a slide. Can anyone give me pros and cons of either one? Anyone gone from one to the other and if so, why?7.2KViews0likes23CommentsEast/West bed???
Saw a comment on some youtube video about campers with north/south beds being better than east/west and so on and so forth. I didn't know there WERE any truck campers with east/west beds. I camp alone and think the east/west would be easier to climb in and out of. Who makes them?5.2KViews0likes17CommentsDumb propane question
I'm not afraid to ask the stupid question so here goes, I fulltime in a fiver and so I have two propane tanks. I keep one closed at all times so that if it runs out in the middles of the night I can go outside, close the one and open the other and I'm back in business. My question is, for those in motorhomes, since they only have one tank, what do you do to make sure you never run out just keep a close eye on it?2.3KViews0likes19CommentsNorthern Lights
Not sure if this is the right heading to post this under but here goes. I'm fascinated with the northern lights (aurora borealis). I've only seen them once because I live in the deep south. The one time I saw them was in northern Iowa right on the Minnesota line. Having never seen them I was in awe and actually had to ask what they were. I've since found out it was only because of extremely high whatever causes them that the lights were visible that night. My question is, is there anywhere in the lower 48 where the northern lights ARE regularly seen and is it more common at certain times of the year?2.7KViews0likes14Comments
