If you like the idea of traveling full time, but you can't afford an RV, then consider buying a truck camper. A truck camper is much more affordable, and it even has some advantages over a bigger RV. Here's why you should consider buying a truck camper when you want to travel for fun or to live the nomad lifestyle and use your camper as a home.
You Can Go More Places
You'll probably enjoy staying in a variety of places when you're on the road. If you're trying to save money, you might want to stay in state parks or other remote areas where a big RV can't go. If you enjoy nature and living in solitude, then a smaller camper that fits on your truck is ideal since you won't have anything to tow that makes it impossible to travel in snow or reach campsites on rugged roads.
You Have Everything You Need
Truck campers can be surprisingly luxurious. You'll have a dining area, bed, small kitchen, and optional bathroom. Some can operate on solar power so you can enjoy conveniences at remote locations. While these campers are smaller than RVs, they are perfect for singles, couples, or small families who get along well. Plus, you can pack a tent and screen room so your family can spread out once you're at your campsite.
A Camper Truck Is Easy To Handle
If you feel comfortable driving a pickup truck, you'll probably be fine driving the truck with a camper over the bed. There can be a steep learning curve to drive a big RV, and you can get in tricky situations when you park in a lot or need to back into a camping site. If you've put off buying a camper or RV because you think they are too hard to drive, turn, or park, then a truck camper might be the perfect way to break into traveling full time and living on the road.
You Can Save A Lot Of Money
Your savings or retirement fund goes further when you live in your truck camper. You save money on the initial cost, and you save on site rentals since you can stay in cheaper campsites. When compared to living in a house, you'll save money on utilities and house maintenance. If you need to be frugal when you travel, whether you're just starting out in life or in your retirement years, living in a truck camper is a good way to save money and explore the country.
