Ease "Saucer Separation" Anxiety

One of the biggest sources of anxiety for new truck camper RVers is getting that 'big old thing' into that 'itty bitty bed' on your truck. Loading a truck camper even for some of us experienced folks can cause butterflies or knots to suddenly appear in our gastrointestinal system.

Considered by many to be one of the "best" web pages out there on the subject borrows a few StarTrek terms to make the subject a bit lighter--even if your TC isn't. Make the jump to hyperspace and read Sterling's treatise on camper loading. Make it so!

Waiting for the Season to Change?

While this one is kind of "snowed under," we've done a little winter truck camper RVing. There was the time one fall on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, when after feeling about five layers of dirt too heavy, the fixit man side of our family decided to hop into the shower for a quick "warsh down." It didn't take more than about two minutes of water to find out the shower "p-trap" was frozen solid. No amount of pouring hot water on the trap would eliminate the blockage, and it wasn't until we hit Fredonia that we warmed up enough for a shower.

Got any hot suggestions for cold weather truck camper use? We'd love to hear them.
