I'm in the planning stage now. Right now I drive a nice 2011 Tacoma DCSB with a towing package. It only has 65k miles on it and is paid off. I have more confidence in the reliability if this truck than anything else on the road. I also want to go off the beaten path at times to hike, fish, etc.
I want to outfit for camping, obviously. This is the one time I have ever thought I'm lucky to be short. LOL. My plan (so far) is to buy a mid high topper and build a sleep platform in there. I have a smallish dome tent as well. I was also thinking I could take a tarp and make an awning off the back when needed (rain, etc.) or buy a side awning to roof mount.
I looked into truck campers but options are limited for short beds and I don't know if I want to deal with the weight, etc.
Thoughts and suggestions?
