    First set up, In need of direction.

    Thank you all for the feedback. I'm currently considering a chevy 2500 hd and a sub 2,000 lb tc with bunk bed over dinnett. I'm now thinking the 2500 may not even cut it as it seems with a family my size an 8.5 ft non slide tc is not going to be big enough, in which case I would need 3500 and...

    Hi Jorge, Thanks for your 4 cents. I like the idea of taking the fam to a dealer so we can all get in a tc to see how we like the fit. I am expecting it will feel slightly better than if we were all standing in the back of the truck bed. My feeling is the camper would just be for hauling all...

    Four Wheel Camper (Hawk) for a family of 4?

    Still in the dreaming stage but...can a FWC accommodate a family of five? Kids aged 5, 3, 1.5. I'm thinking for rainy days it would be hell unless we all put on rain gear and go exploring. Sleep plans are, two adults in queen above cab then mount eye holes bolts in wall for bunk bed...
