Hello all, I am looking for some opinions. Hopefully based upon real life experience and not guesses.
I am looking at purchasing a truck to base a camper upon. Among the many choices and decisions is the decision of cab size vs camper size.
Obviously the shorter the cab the longer the camper all other things being equal.
Typically there will be three or more people in the vehicle when traveling. I am concerned about the comfort level and safety of the passengers while riding in the camper. Also I am concerned about the isolation of the driver if the passengers are all hanging out in the camper. The other side is about four extra feet of camper space if you go with a regular cab.
I am pretty set on a pop up so regardless of cab style I don't think I will have camper space above the cab.
I am leaning towards the double cab with increased comfort and passenger capacity vs the longer camper. It is one thing that after the fact can only be changed by changing the whole vehicle so I want to make the best choice/compromise for my uses.
Speaking of uses its most common use will be short 2-5 day trips towing the boat and heading out fishing and camping. Travel time will typically be less then six hours one way.
Looking for advice. Thank you.
