New trucker camper....kinda

[TruckCamper99]

Hey there!!
Last year my wife and I bought a dodge dually with a 93 Elkhorn LE. I would post pics, but don’t know how. We upgraded from a 2010 34’ Puma double slide(for sale in sw iowa). It was just such a big camper and this thing is perfect. I’m still trying to help my wife understand we don’t have a ton of room to pack stuff in the camper lolol.
 
As far as truck campers go. What do you folks think are must haves?

I stock up on paper plates, plastic cups, and have a couple of regular utensils (can't stand using plastic utensils). Doesn't take much to wash utensils so you save on water.

Thats a good idea! I thought having regular plates might be easier a d cut down on trash and clutter

Only must-haves in a truck camper are a very comfortable bed, lots of pillows and super warm blanket, or cool sheets for summer. A working fridge for cold ones, and some way to make coffee!

You may want to buy a clamshell outdoor enclosure with the additional side panels for an outdoor kitchen/dining area.

Oohhhh those are nice. We have a Care Free awning and room that attaches to it
