7 Reasons We Bought a Truck Camper VS. A Van
1. COST: We paid way less for our truck & truck camper than what a van would have cost us for all the amenities and features we wanted. This allowed us to not have to save as much money and buy our truck and camper with cash so we didn’t have to have payments
2. OFF-ROAD ABILITY: Our truck is a 2500 HD with high clearance and a 4x4 making it much easier to get around on more difficult roads, especially since we prefer to dispersed camp.
3. TRUCK MAINTENANCE: Chevy parts are everywhere. If we ever have an issue with our tuck – most any mechanic shop will be able to work on our truck.
4. KING BED & FULL BATH: We have almost a King-Sized Bed in our camper (which we are used to sleeping in) and a complete shower and toilet system – that were important to us
5. TRUCK COMFORT & STORAGE: Long road trips are way more comfortable in a truck plus we have an entire extended cab that gives us tons of storage space.
6. BUILD: We didn’t have to build out our camper ourselves as we didn’t have the time or energy to take on such a big project.
7. DETACHABLE: We can easily take our camper off when not using it and still have a truck for everyday use
We completely understand that both truck campers and vans have their pros & cons – everyone has their own “tastes” of what they are looking for.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our truck and camper set up and can’t wait for many more fun road trip adventures with it.
