Im sort of liking the truck camper..maybe not a 4by4. What say you folks...I like living cheap/frugal/.....I like efficiency. I do not like the humid heat of Alabama and I plan on have a good air unit and such...Thanks for any input...Im still pondering on my alternatives.<br />melbel<br />ps thanks for your advise and comments...<br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Hi Melbel! Great to see ya here. I am leaning toward a truck camper myself, after really looking at all my options. I do like the smaller, especially retro campers but think it may be hard for me to handle, pulling. So... I've seen some really sweet truck campers tho... and think I can find one I like once I get enough money saved... The only downside I have really noticed is you have to get out of the truck to get to the living part... instead of it being all one unit like a van... but I think it will be okay! Best wishes to you whatever you decide!<br /><br />
