Learn More About Truck Campers

For those looking for a simpler way to camp, one of our favorite options is a truck camper. Not only are these easy to carry around and transport, but they often provide all the same great amenities you’d get from larger RVs, without the enormous price or hassle. Here at Broadmoor RV, we have a wide selection of truck campers for you to choose from, so stop by our location in Pasco, Washington today.

Truck Camper History

For some interesting background, truck campers first appeared in the 1940s and 50’s. They quickly gained popularity through their versatility and their subsequent cab-over design confirmed them as a standard type of RV. This continued through the 70’s and 80’s as campers tried to use compact trucks as their transport vehicle, although the weight tended to overwhelm the compact trucks. Today’s campers are usually placed on full-sized trucks, or at the very least paired with a truck that will handle the extra weight. They also feature modern RV improvements, including slide-outs and lighter construction material.

Types of Truck Campers

While the general setup of every truck camper is the same, there are differences in how some are designed and built. For example, there are some standard truck campers with hard sides, but there are also models known as pop-up campers. These can fold down when you’re in motion and pop up to give you more room when you’re settled. It makes these campers easier to drive as they won’t catch the wind as easily.

The Benefits

There’s no getting around the fact that truck campers are going to be a little smaller though, so why choose one? Firstly, it’s probably safe to say they’re better suited for smaller groups, only three people at most, though it’ll be a tight fit at that point. This means it may not be ideal for families, but it’s a great escape for single travelers or couples. First and foremost, truck campers are easier to drive around. There’s no towing hassle and you can still travel around city streets as easily as you would if there was no camper on your vehicle.

It’s also ideal for campers who prefer to have fewer distractions for the whole reason they left home in the first place: to enjoy the outdoors! Many people know they won’t be spending a lot of time in their RV, so there’s no point in getting one that costs a fortune and also gives you space and luxuries you won’t use.
