[QUOTE="jeeppoor, post: 719831, member: 5449"] We are on our 3rd pickup camp in 25 years. Started out with a $500 special and we had a old Chevy 3/4ton. Used that for a few years. Then we upgraded to 1 ton dually and a bigger pickup camper (11') and a 18' car hauler. Had to run a 3' extension on it. and up graded the hitch to a class 5. We ran this set up for about 10 years. New we have a 2001 dully with a bigger yet pickup camper (11' but with a slide out). Pick has a 30,000 class hitch that has both class 5 and class 3 hitch on it. Still have to use the 3' extension but now it has 2 bars. and we have a 20' deck over car hauler. We've had this set up for about 10 years. And we will problem be keeping for enough 10 years maybe longer. No leaks. Never had any leaks on any of the ones we had. But just like anything else you have to maintain them. The wife loves it. The camper has solar power, a generator (for when she wants to microwave something or run the ac). the generator is big enough to run the ark welder we carry with in the jobber box that is mounted on the trailer. All the orv parks up here is Michigan just have primitive camping. No power, water just port a johns. She likes to go camping off grid. We spent a week this year camping on Lake Superior in a small privative camp ground right on the beach. No power, pump well, vault toilets. We are set up so we can camp for about a week and don't need to hook up to any power or water. We have found that we use the camper a lot. We general use it about 5 to 6 weeks every year. It is a little much for me (the 2 times I have gone by my self). But it keeps momma happy and she is always ready to go with me. And it beats sleeping in a tent. [/QUOTE]
