The Benefits of Owning a Truck Camper

If you’re looking for freedom and flexibility with your camper, you really can’t go wrong with a truck camper. While it might not have as many available amenities as its larger RV cousins, a truck camper is more fuel-efficient, more cost-effective, and easier to maintain. Read on to learn some of the advantages that owning a truck camper can bring you.

Cost-Effective

Truck campers are one of the most affordable RV types over the long term. Part of this affordability stems from the relative simplicity of the design since these campers don’t have wheels, axles, or engines that ever need repair. Truck campers also weigh less than other types of RV so they let your truck get excellent mileage compared to a towable RV or a motorhome. 

In many states, truck campers don’t even have to be registered as a vehicle because they’re technically classed as cargo, which can save you money on insurance and registration. Finally, truck campers hold their value exceptionally well, so if you decide to trade up or trade-in, you’ll have more value to take advantage of.

Drivability

Many RVers can get a little nervous around the wheel of a Class A or when there’s a large trailer in tow, but truck campers have very little impact on the way you drive. Since your wheelbase remains the same as the truck you drive every day, you’ll be able to get on the road with some extra confidence. Truck campers won’t impact your ability to turn, back into a spot, or maneuver a parking lot.
