With over 1,000 responses, we were unable to post every comment (totaling well over fifty pages), but we have read every comment and have made detailed notes on what you like about TCM. Here are some of the stand out, “Things You Like” comments from the 2015 Truck Camper Magazine Reader Survey:
I like the personality of the writing. Life’s too short to be negative. Point out the issue and move on, unless it’s about the use of gimp.
Unbiased reviews are encouraging to read.
I like your general attitude and demeanor that comes across in your reviews. I think both of you do a great job overall.
I appreciate the depth of knowledge about truck camping in general and the efforts to get the idea across that it’s so important to match the right truck to the right camper.
I’ve gotten answers to questions that I had not even thought about asking.
Very informative about future camper design improvements, gear, and popular destinations.
The truck and camper reviews for best fit by weight and performance.
I very much enjoy the wit and interest that both Gordon and Angela use in writing articles. The variety of featured articles is excellent.
It is free and it is about campers.
The fact that the information and articles are relevant to the users of truck campers. What also earns my respect is that the articles are written by owners of truck campers and that the publishers use and own truck campers themselves.
Good articles, reviews, and pictures.
It is brief and uncluttered.
It’s interesting to read what others are doing and where they are going.
Stories by and about full-timers.
A camper speciality magazine.
I enjoy the stories from the road and also articles showing modifications that others have made. Easy to reference on a daily basis. It has very good photos, and mostly good detail in its reports. You are a great couple. You work hard and have a great product.
As a new truck camper owner, I really appreciated the easy to navigate website with a clear “You should start here” Newbie Corner. From there, I have learned about so many aspects of truck campers and looked into so many things and it all started with you guys! Thank you!
Keeping up to date on all truck camper information.
Great articles about upgrades and adventures. Wonderful photos.

A lot of good useful information. Well written.
I love that TCM is simply about truck campers and the truck camping lifestyle and not just RVs in general. My favorite part is the lifestyle stories. I love reading about others’ experiences, where they have traveled, and the ways they have adapted their truck campers. I also like the articles where a variety of people answer a truck camper-related question – it’s so interesting and applicable. I also love the truck camper reviews. You do such a great job of covering every aspect of the truck camper lifestyle. When do you sleep?
We are always curious as to where others have gone before and enjoyed. Love to see how others have modified their units and we enjoy doing so ourselves.
I really appreciate the Mods section. I learn about things I can change on my camper. Gear Guide has also been helpful in the past. Overall, a great online magazine.

Very informative.
Everything!
That the owners are expanding their knowledge by working on their own camper. With help from friends, it gives them more street credentials in the community.
Reviews and lifestyle stories.
There is really not much I don’t like. Your website proved very helpful, more than any other source in helping me decide on a new truck camper, and the accessories that I needed on my new camper.
There is not much about trucks, which is really a large part of the investment and travel experience than the camper. Cummins is just about to launch a new 5.0L V-8 diesel engine in the Nissan Titan that could be a game changer in the truck camper experience, in the long term.
Your magazine is the best about truck campers and the lifestyle. Thank you for working to improve the industry.
What I most enjoy is the calendar contest and the multitude of wonderful photos submitted by your readers.
The tales and stories of your many contributors are interesting and inspirational.
Like many of your readers, we have spent too many years working toward a rewarding career, financial security, comfortable home, etc. We have traveled over the years to many countries. However, we always were on a strict timetable. We had to be back in the office in a week or two. What really appeals to us now that we’re semi-retired is being able to hit the road with no return date required. Do we wish we could have set off when we were younger? You bet, but we’re in our sixties, with good health, an adventurous attitude, and ready to go this year. I have found navigating around your magazine educational, inspirational, always interesting, and frankly a kick in the rear to stop just reading about truck camping, and get on with it. By the way, most of our friends think we’re nuts. Twenty years ago, when we bought a 24′ boat, they thought the same thing. We had it for five years, and had an absolute blast traveling and living in 150 square feet. Great memories. Thanks for your magazine, and keep up the good work. Maybe we’ll meet on the road one day.

Information about truck campers and the lifestyle.
I like all of the TCM content. Some content is not as important to me at this time, such as the dealer inventory and RV shows and rallies, but that could change in the future. Factory tours, new camper reviews, new gear, etc. are interesting to keep up on the latest news and changes in truck campers. When I replace my current camper it will be helpful to know. But it’s the articles on off road stories, camper 101 articles, mod contest, reader e-mail and feedback, and the camper lifestyles stories that are the most interesting part of TCM for me.
Articles about truck campers and their owners, new gear, and campers being produced.

Well written informative articles with relevant and illustrative photos.
We currently do not own a truck or camper but will be purchasing a setup in the near future. TCM is a awesome magazine because it provides so much information for the “newbie”. When the time comes to make our purchase, we will be much more educated. Thanks TCM. Great job!
The articles. Also, it makes me feel part of a large group with similar interests.

Great source of information. We bought our truck camper this year and traded a 36′ travel trailer after a three month trip to Alaska and back to Virginia. We found a truck camper would go almost anywhere. Towing a 36′ travel trailer limited us where we could camp. We could not get to the remote areas. Next trip 2016, 5 months in Northern Canada and all of Alaska.
I retired at 55 and, in 15 months I will be 62. A good bit of money will free up and I plan on purchasing a new truck camper and do a lot of traveling, towing mostly my boat. I’ve been enjoying your website for 8 years. Thank you very much.

That it is specific to truck campers.
All the helpful information that they give, from their own experience or from truck camper owners. I am new to Truck Camper Magazine. My wife and I have decided to purchase a truck camper by March of this year. The reason being is because we both got a month long vacation time off work and our kids will also be off school for the summer. We are taking a road trip with no real plans – just go and see where our new camper takes us. The second reason for buying a truck camper is we want our kids to be more outdoor oriented. Our kids spend too much time on their iPads, phones, and other electronics. Hopefully, truck camping will bring us all closer together and let my children remember those times when I’m gone.

I like the many pictures of places of travel from all over the world. I like the stories of activities that campers join and display. I love the many pictures that are submitted for the calendar. I wish people submitted more pictures of their rigs and setup besides the calendar. These give a lot of ideas to use whether you have a truck camper or not. Many of your articles apply to camping at large and not just to truck campers. An example of this is your recent story on propane tanks. Keep up the good work.
It covers a lot about things to do and places to see with a truck camper.
The stories and reports. I just got a new 1172 Lance and F350. I hope to meet you and talk to you. I really enjoy TCM.
It appears automatically in my e-mail and Facebook feed. I don’t have to “go get it”. My family has camped with truck campers since the 1970’s. Always looking for new places to camp and new updates to the campers. I’m always looking for our next camper to buy! That would be truck camper number 6.

TCM is the one website that we check every Tuesday and Friday. In February of 2014, we bought our first camper and love, love it. We made a pact to use it at least once a month even if it’s just for a day or two. I can’t wait to see where our truck camper takes us this year! We’ve met so many wonderful people and Truck Camper Magazine always comes up as a great, fun source of information. Thank you for the great articles and capturing the joy in truck camping.
Its reviews of sponsor’s products tend to be pretty accurate and don’t seem to pull a lot of punches.

Information on new truck campers and equipment.
It is informative and interesting, especially the stories. I like getting a first look at new campers and ideas.
The whole package! It is super that the magazine is focused on improvements to existing equipment.
It is objective and produced by two humans that actually live the lifestyle, and one cool cat. The greatest contribution the magazine made to us was, after purchasing our large camper, it took over a year to find a used pickup that could handle the weight. Without your guidance we would have purchased an undersized truck with potential problems looming on the road ahead.

I feel it is very informative with articles and reviews. The truck camper gear. It’s the only website or magazine dedicated to us truck camper outlaws. I also love the mods.
I learned everything I needed to know to purchase and outfit my first truck camper on this site. I love reading about people’s trips and their adventures. The modifications described are so interesting and inspiring. I love the sometimes zany humor and the personal warmth.
I like reading articles, completing the surveys, reading about new products, new campers, and their improvement from model year to year.
It gives me a place to look for mods.
The present content is great, but would be much better if it included travel destinations; show camping spots and name them so others can go there.
Travel stories and product information.

An excellent blend of people stories, product information, and wanderlust!
My favorites are the mods articles. After that, I enjoy the the stories of unusual trips or experiences truck campers have.

I like the lifestyle stores, and pictures of other reader’s rigs the best. Being in the Mid-West there are very few truck campers and it is nice to know there are so many like-minded campers out there. I started reading TCM before I purchased a truck camper and have put my 34 foot fifth wheel up for sale. Reading about other people’s experiences helped me make the decision to buy a truck camper. TCM makes me feel like I am part of a unique RV community. As you always say, “Go Anywhere, Camp Anywhere, Tow Anything”. Thank you!
Everything. I read it cover to cover, or should I say I look at every pixel.
Quick and easy read, and it’s free. Thank you!

Excellent! I like the periodicity of publishing and the content is excellent. It is easy to get distracted by all the interesting campers, mods, and travel stories.
I love reading about the different lifestyles of the people purchasing a truck camper.

There are no worries about the length now. We had pulled a 30′ travel trailer previously. Great website!

On January 9th, 2015, we purchased our first truck camper, a 2015 Lance 1172 at the Nashville RV show from Bankston RV in Huntsville, Alabama. All of our research originated with information from Truck Camper Magazine. We knew nothing about truck campers before finding your website.
