2027 Calendar Contest: Behind the Shot Part 8
For Behind the Shot Part 8, we’re featuring photos and stories from Dubois, Wyoming, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, Depoe Bay, Oregon, and many more destinations! Click here to participate in the 2027 Truck Camper Magazine Calendar Contest.
From breweries and vineyards to museums and farms, we share our camping experiences at Harvest Hosts locations. Here’s our review: pros, cons, and beyond.
Scout and SITKA transform the Olympic hard side into a purpose-built basecamp for hunters, anglers, and serious backcountry pursuits. With only ten built, this Scout will be nearly as elusive as the game it’s designed to pursue.
With a hard side non-slide design, the Capri Bunkhouse maximizes sleeping capacity, maximizes storage, minimizes weight, and includes an impressive list of standard features. Families, teams, bands, and traveling crews of all descriptions—the Capri Bunkhouse is calling.
Diesel or gas? We asked 18 truck campers which they prefer, and the results were split right down the middle.
Nine chose diesel. Nine chose gas.
From torque and fuel economy to payload, maintenance costs, and simplicity, everyone had a reason for their choice.
Hear what they had to say, then help us break the tie.
Which do you prefer, diesel or gas? Let us know in the comments!

Here’s the oddly satisfying sound of installing @torklift_international TRUE Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs on our 2026 Ford F-350 long bed.
The Torklift tie-down hardware bolts directly to existing mounting points on the truck’s frame without drilling. With basic hand tools, Torklift’s installation videos, and an extra set of hands, we tackled the entire installation ourselves.
Want to read more about how it went? We break down the installation process step by step, share what we learned along the way, and report back after more than 5,000 miles of truck camping.
Read “How To Prep a Truck with Torklift” on Truck Camper Magazine for the full breakdown.

Everyone learns a lesson or two along the way when truck camping.
We’ve been there without toilet paper. We’ve opened the camper door to find a floor full of food. We’ve also found ourselves wishing we had done a little more research before hitting the road.
If you can relate to these stories or have a few hard-earned lessons of your own, drop them in the comments. We know you’re not alone!
