New here...but not new to camping in my truck. I am, however, new to camping in my truck with my wife and 2 year old boy. For various reasons a 4x4 truck with a Flippac ticks off the most boxes for us. Background info:
Here is my question: Will a family of 3-4 with a dog really need the extra space of the 8' Tundra LB? Now that I write all this, I can't see how we could get away with anything smaller than the Tundra LB but it would sure be nice to drive the smaller vehicle if any of you can talk me in to it. What are your experiences? Does working with a smaller space solve other problems I'm not thinking of?
Thanks!
- We like to bike and have a hitch mount rack for the bikes
- We have a medium size dog who would be kenneled up in the bed of the truck during travel (kennel is a little bigger than an average size cooler
- I'd like to have a Engel 45 fridge slide out
- We are both teachers so can be away from home for 2-3 weeks at a time
- Water storage and sink would be nice
- Likely be cooking outside the truck most of the time
- We might end up with a second little one on the way
- We live on the front range in Colorado and I would also use the truck to drive to work occasionally and carpool with buddies during the week/weekend to the trail head to mountain bike
