New Truck Camper Owner Discusses $40,000 Purchase

Thinking about buying a brand new truck camper? If you've been looking around at all, you may have had to take the smelling salts with you. New truck campers can run even more money than a comparably equipped "wheeled" RV.

Still, there is something about the "factory new" smell, I guess. Of course, we've never bought a "new" rig, so it's interesting to read about somebody else's experiences. Including the good, the bad, and the ugly--like getting to take your brand new rig back to the factory after "copious amounts" of rain water wash down on your brand new innerspring mattress.

All in all, this discussion forum entry is worth visiting if you're in the market for a new rig, or just want to reassure yourself that you really do LOVE your good old truck camper! Stuffed with text and plenty of photos (including a daring picture of this owner's "weight ticket" with the new camper loaded up) it's an eye opener. Take a look here.
