Welcome to the new hard-side truck camper section!
It appears that we were missing a forum section for the hard-side camper.
I am hoping that people will discuss the merits and inconvenient of using a camper which can be a bit larger than a pop-up.
Discussions about Lance, Bigfoot, Northern Line and all other companies are expected!

Great idea to add this venue. I was looking at pop-ups very seriously but there is a certain member in the family that did not want one so we eventually got a excellent deal on a older 9.6 Northern Lites. I hope to see others posting here with their units and ideas.

Great idea as I am a hard side guy, but more for the expedition end of things than the campground.
I went with a Northern Lite as the weight was close to that of a pop up and I like the hard side for the winter as it holds the heat in.

I can relate to that comment. As my chief corpsman buddy says, "It's always interesting to see what hardware you have strapped on today".I believe the correct title is "section for the red-neck overlander"

Great!! I have a lance 9'4" on a 3500 dodge 4x4 diesel. We take it into the desert in AZ. Mostly into the BLM lands around AJO and a bit into the Barry Goldwater Range. Performs well, but it is a bit more of a problem than just taking the truck and a tent. Much nicer living though.
Lots to discuss about running such a large and heavy rig in the desert. What do other folks have??
Smeghead.
