Jack Grit said:I think a truck camper may be a good option. I have a questions: There is a limited amount of space where I likely will be primarily parked. I am not "allowed" to have 2 vehicles. Do any of you have experience with loading and unloading a camper on the back of a truck? My plan (if viable) is to have the camper as stationary as possible while using the truck as my primary mode of transportation. Would loading and unloading be too labor intensive and time consuming to do almost daily? Would it be possible to put the camper on cinder blocks (or the like) and sort of back up the truck far enough so as to keep in the allotted 22 or so feet? Is it easy enough to back the bed of a truck all the way back? Has anyone done anything similar? Are there solutions to this situation that others have used?

I sure wouldn't want to do it everyday. My Four Wheel Pop Up was a huge pain due to the tight to the bed design. But I've had a number of more traditional cab overs that were given to me and I gave them away - while easier to line up they were still unstable and scary when up in the air. There are more stable lift systems out there, but they are expensive. Also, most camper floors are only designed to be walked on when fully supported by the truck bed - some can literally rip loose and you'll fall through to the ground.
