Truck camper, anyone?

We have two fifth wheels, one 32footer parked year round at a campground with a new 10X25 deck we built last spring. The other is a 29footer that we use when we travel together. And I just got a truck camper that I use when traveling solo or we use together for quick fishing trips to the beach. Does anyone else have a truck camper? Here are our rigs:

Had a 5er and truck camper, but I just sold the 5er recently and will be full timing in the truck camper. I towed the 5er for 3 years. Have already been living and traveling in the camper since late April last year. I had been wintering in one spot with the 5er.

I have a truck camper. Haven't been out too much lately, but plan to change that this year. Linda

We had a truck camper back when the girls were little. I loved it!

Do you gals with truck campers remove the camper from the truck while camping so you can use the truck to go places? Just curious... :?

I could but to my way of thinking, loading it is a pain, particularly if you don't do it often or have another pair of eyes. Besides, I'd go nuts if a windstorm came up! Plus if camping with no sewer hookup, that would be an additional pain. I haven't had a problem just leaving it on, but I have decided for stays in some places, I will rent a car.

I don't unload either when camping. It is a pain. I have also been told at a few CG that I am not allowed to do so. (Usually a private CG) I am also thinking of just loading the camper and keeping on while here in the S&B. This way, I'll be more apt to take off instead of convincing myself that it is such a chore to load. (It really isn't, but I do tend to talk myself out of doing it because it is not convenient.) Linda
