More Feedback Requested: Professionally Matched Truck and Camper Packages

On Tuesday, we asked, “Would you be interested in having the option to purchase professionally matched truck and camper packages?”

A few minutes after posting the question, something began to happen.  Where previous questions might receive a dozen or two responses over a couple of days, we were getting a dozen responses an hour, hour after hour.  So far we’ve had sixty-two replies (and counting).  Clearly we have found an important topic.

Before we publish the responses, we want to give more members of our truck camping community the opportunity to participate.  If you have not yet answered the question, please take a minute to add your voice to the discussion.  If this topic is as important as we believe it is, we need to hear from as many people in our community as possible.
