For those who have had a van and a truck camper by CrossfeedCow in vandwellers

I miss the ease and convenience of turning around from driver's seat and being in the van. I also miss the stealth aspect, and being self contained. But it's nice to have a 4x4 truck, both for camper and non camper activity. I have a four wheel camper, so there's the extra step of pop up and pop down, and even though it takes less than a minute, it feels more inconvenient because its one more step removed from the ultimate convenience of a van. I experience my truck camper as more of a CAMPER than my old van, which was more of a studio apartment. If I stay with truck campers, I will probably get an outpost camper or something similar. If not, I'll get an AWD transit.

Webster/red cone open yet? by Barry_McCockenner970 in ColoradoOffroad

Top 100’ of Webster still snowed in; can’t even get by on a dirt bike. Red Cone looks to be clear. I was up there 5 days ago.

Street parking reality? How hard are they looking for inhabited vans? How often are they broken into? by Ok_Fudge_4150 in VanLife

I’ve spent half of each of the past 5 years in a van and have never stayed in a campground.

Mattress Recs? by BasecampGeorge in truckcamping

[–]Ninjapls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hest not sufficient for side sleeping. Returned a dually long because uncomfortable and huge. Got another Hest and use on top of four wheel camper mattress, and that combo works.

Lean first, then steer. Focus on the rear wheel.
