It was the first time using the new Bowen Customs bed, ROAM box, and Sherpa roof rack all together.

#306 - Daniel MonarWhite Sands National Park, New Mexico2019 Ford F-1502019 Lance 650Camera Used - iPhone XSThis photo was taken on our 45-day trip across the country. We started in Las Vegas, Nevada, went to San Diego, and traveled up the coast to San Pedro Island off Seattle, hitting as many national parks as possible. We then headed east to Glacier National Park and south through Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. From White Sands National Park, we headed east through the southern states to our final destination and now home in Delaware.My girlfriend at the time, now my wife, and our dog Danni (RIP) are featured in this photo with our little camper,

#308 - Donald VelascoChiricahua National Forest, Arizona1993 Dodge RAM 25001984 Bigfoot 9.5Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S22I was boondocking throughout the Chiricahua National Forest at the tail end of monsoon season, when the wildflowers and mushrooms are abundant and the landscape is far greener than in the spring. It's also a very popular birding area.I was at a boondocking site about half a mile from Rustler Park Campground at 8,500 feet. I often come here and spend a couple of weeks exploring the entire mountain range. It has the biggest variety of wildflowers I've seen in a single spot, with at least two dozen types of flowers and a dozen varieties of mushrooms, plus incredible birding and beautiful springs and creeks throughout.

#309 - Donald VelascoAlabama Hills, California1993 Dodge RAM 25001984 Bigfoot 9.5Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S22We were camping in the Alabama Hills during a couple of months of traveling with my new girlfriend, Kimmy. We were headed to soak for a couple of weeks at Saline Valley Hot Springs and spent a few nights at this spot.Funny enough, just a short time after this picture was taken, we were driving through a snowstorm high in the Inyo Mountains with several feet of powdery snow. I put my girlfriend through the extreme nature test, and she passed with flying colors!

This was our first morning waking up in the camper and enjoying our tea and coffee. It was a special moment because we had gone back and forth on the model and options we wanted. At that moment, it was all so special and worth the wait to finally enjoy our camper for the first time!Whether this photo gets featured or not, we just wanted to share our special memory of camping in our camper for the first time. Happy adventures, all! We'll see you on the trail!

#312 - Jonathan ParkerBlue Hill, Maine2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD2025 Four Wheel Campers HawkCamera Used - PhoneOne of the many dirt roads in Maine. Any chance we get, we like to get this rig on the dirt so she isn't just a pavement princess, haha. The foliage was especially beautiful down this road. It was marshy, wet, and a little overcast. The perfect time to go leaf peeping!We ended up popping up the camper in a little pull-off by a marsh, and the trees were on fire with their spectacular show.

This was an organized Camp B in Sand Flats. Otherwise, most of our camping is boondocking on canyon rims behind the Navajo Rocks riding area.Each of us takes turns being the evening fire marshal as we recount our rides. Today was 15 kilometers on the entire glorious Slickrock Trail.

#316 - Cheryl ChellCherokee/Great Smokies KOA Holiday, North Carolina2024 Ford F-3502024 Arctic Fox 1150Camera Used - UnknownIt was the day before I drove my rig through the Tail of the Dragon, a drive that had been on my bucket list ever since I heard about it. My rig is not the normal sports car or even my motorcycle, but it was the vehicle I was driving.I decided to stay the night at this KOA after making the reservation the night before while researching a route to the infamous Tail of the Dragon. This vacation was planned, or should I say not planned. I had general directions for where I wanted to go and a loose idea of how far I wanted to travel each day throughout the trip.I decided to reserve the Paw Pen at the Cherokee/Great Smokies KOA Holiday so my dogs could roam in a confined space without being tethered. I was snapping pictures of the site and texting them to my adult children. My daughter texted me back, telling me how beautiful the backdrop behind my camper was. I didn't

#317 - Todd DulibaNorth Thompson River Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada2016 GMC Sierra 35002019 Palomino 2902Camera Used - iPhone 15This was our last road trip of the season. We had a week off, and my wife, Sherry, and I decided to travel from Alberta to British Columbia. Our first stop was Jasper, Alberta, followed by Clearwater, British Columbia. This picture was taken at North Thompson River Provincial Park.From there, we headed to the Okanagan, then the East Kootenays, through Banff, Alberta, and finally home to Spruce Grove, Alberta. The colors were amazing, and the weather was fantastic for the first week of October.

#319 - Keith RadecskyFort Wilderness, Florida2024 Ford F-3502026 Lance 855SCamera Used - Samsung PhoneI have stage four kidney cancer. We had a motorhome for 20 years before selling it last year because the kids were no longer interested in camping and because of my diagnosis. This year, my wife and I realized we missed camping and decided to live for today.We started the process of figuring out what we wanted. We have a side-by-side UTV that we try to take places, so we were originally thinking about a toy hauler. But we don't always take the UTV and wanted something we could pretty much just get in and go.We decided to go to the Hershey RV Show to see our options in person. The Lance 855S wasn't on our radar at the time, but it sure was by the end of our day there. It was perfect for us. It fit our Ford F-350, was roomy inside, and setup was easy. We were sold on it, but the one at the show was already sold, and they didn't know how quickly another would be available.While driving back home to New Jersey, we scoured the internet looking for the perfect one. We found it, but it was in Florida. Remember when I said we live for today now? Well, we got home, outfitted the truck with Torklift tie-downs, and the next day drove to Florida. We made the deal over the phone while driving down and picked it up the following day.Now that we were in Florida, we couldn't pass up stopping at Fort Wilderness for two nights as our shakedown trip. Fort Wilderness is our happy place, and it did not disappoint.We are hoping we get to have many more happy camping trips.

The only modifications to the pickup are a complete spring set to handle the camper and a 3G alternator.The camper is original, with a complete solar system where the generator would sit. We can dry camp for a week before we need to refresh the camper. This is Alaska. There are infinite places to camp.

The visibility was great and the crowds were sparse, so I decided to put the drone up for some pictures and video.

I took the photo because I liked the colors of the leaves on the tree and ground, with the camper and river in the background. It's a relaxing spot to take a break.

It's not something we see too often in Las Vegas.We invested in this setup primarily so we could travel with our three dogs, now four, without having to board them. Yes, we make the space work with the dogs! The configuration of this 1995 Lance works out great for them, and they love it.

#339 - Woody PettyBishop, California2025 Ford Ranger2024 Tune M1Camera Used - Sony Alpha 7 IVWe spent a few hours driving around the Eastern Sierra trying to find the perfect dispersed camping spot with fall colors and amazing views. After exploring a bunch of different roads, we finally stumbled across this spot surrounded by aspens with the mountains in the background.We set up camp, pulled out the chairs, and enjoyed the evening by the fire. Definitely one of those spots that made the adventure worth it.

My wife and I drove down from Rhode Island, enjoyed Thanksgiving with family, and were able to go where no other camper could have, right up the mountain with no road.REV has turned up the quality of the Lance campers. This is my fifth truck camper and my third Lance.

I camped on BLM land every night. What's cool about the area is that there are so many open spots to park your rig.I was taking photos at random spots along the way and anywhere that caught my eye. This photo was one of my favorites, taken right off the side of the road.

For overlanders, this route is also known as the place where Matthew proposed to Stacey of Toyota World Runners. It's a powerful reminder to follow your dreams. Life is truly too short.

#345 - Ashley KayeWalden, Colorado2023 Toyota Tacoma2011 Four Wheel Campers Fleet ShellCamera Used - Fujifilm X-T5Cotton candy skies. After a summer of wildfires, I was looking for a wide-open campsite with clear blue skies, preferably with a lake and no backbreaking Forest Service road to reach it. A bit of a tall order for Colorado.This spot checked all the boxes for a peaceful place to rest, relax, and reset. Although the lake was quite low, wildlife was present, with mountains to the east and west. We had dark skies at night, clear blue skies during the day, and vibrant sunsets that made you pause everything in life and just be present. We all need a little more of that.

#346 - Steve WebsterGoblin Valley, Utah2024 GMC Sierra 35002024 Northern Lite 8-11Camera Used - iPhone 16 ProThis photo was taken just outside Goblin Valley State Park in Utah during our first big boondocking trip with our Northern Lite. We had set out to explore a different kind of camping, getting away from established campgrounds and finding places where the truck camper could really take us.We found this incredible spot tucked into the desert formations and decided it was too good to pass up. As the sun dropped, the canyon walls lit up in beautiful golden light, and the whole campsite seemed to glow.It ended up being one of those places that perfectly captured why we bought a truck camper in the first place: the freedom to get off the beaten path, find an amazing place, and call it home for the night.

#347 - Ashley KayeCañón de los Perdidos, Peru2023 Toyota Tacoma2011 Four Wheel Campers Fleet ShellCamera Used - DJI Air 3SCañón de los Perdidos, or Canyon of the Lost, is located in the Ocucaje Desert. It's a marvelous wonder in the middle of the Peruvian desert where you can hike, camp, off-road, and find megalodon shark teeth the size of your hand.Millions of years ago, this region was completely underwater. Today, it is a popular tourist destination with 4x4 trails and hiking paths that take you down into the canyon and around the ledges. It's a must-see area with wide-open skies, incredible sunrises and sunsets, more stars than the eye can count, and endless fossils, including whale bones, shark teeth, and seashells.

#348 - Steve WebsterVedauwoo, Wyoming2024 GMC Sierra 35002024 Northern Lite 8-11Camera Used - iPhone 16 ProThis photo was taken while boondocking at Vedauwoo, Wyoming, on our way home from a long road trip. We left the pavement and followed the rough roads through the granite formations, looking for a place to spend a couple of nights. When we found this spot tucked among the huge boulders and pines, we knew we weren't going any farther.Late in the day, the sun dropped low enough to light up the rocks and our Northern Lite while a stormy sky was building in the distance. It was one of those campsites where we ended up staying longer than originally planned. It was quiet, completely off-grid, and surrounded by an incredible landscape.It's exactly the kind of place that makes traveling with a truck camper so much fun.

#349 - Steve WebsterWildhorse Creek, Alberta, Canada2024 GMC Sierra 35002024 Northern Lite 8-11Camera Used - iPhone 16 ProThis photo was taken at Wildhorse Creek Rustic Camping Area in Alberta, west of Abraham Lake along the North Saskatchewan River. We had taken our Northern Lite into the area for some off-grid camping and found a spot surrounded by the Rockies, well away from the usual developed campgrounds.As evening settled in, the mountains and sky took on that deep blue color that only lasts for a few minutes. I stepped back and caught the camper sitting alone against the mountains just before the light disappeared.It's one of my favorite parts of truck camping: being able to get away from the crowds, find a beautiful spot in the Alberta Rockies, and have everything we need with us.

It was only accessible with a high-clearance vehicle and was not a trailer destination. This was our dog Abby's last trip to the Southwest with us.Sadly, due to changes in federal protections, we worry about the future impact of mining trucks and other disturbances on these unique landscapes and historic cultural sites.

Our white Ford F-250 and truck camper stood out against the red rock, while smoke from distant wildfires drifted in behind us and softened the landscape into a gentle haze. It didn't slow us down. Even through the smoke, the scenery was breathtaking.

At 14,115 feet, its summit is the easternmost fourteener in the United States, with panoramic views stretching for miles.The views, and the occasional white-knuckle driving, were breathtaking. At the top, we celebrated with donuts while watching goats nearby. Those donuts taste even better at 14,000 feet!This photo was taken near Devils Playground, with our white truck and camper on the left, distant alpine lakes far below, and a slight haze of smoke from several Colorado wildfires.

We were camping near the base of the Olympic Peninsula, several hundred yards east of the Pacific Ocean, as our first stop on the way back home to Illinois.My wife and I were very excited, as this is our first camper of any type, and the possible destinations are endless.

#367 - Jeffrey MarksShelbyville, Illinois2023 Ford F-2502024 Alaskan 10-Foot Side DinetteCamera Used - iPhone 17 ProThis picture was taken to capture one of the specific reasons my wife and I chose a truck camper over any other type of RV. We wanted the flexibility of a truck camper to maximize the uses of our entire rig.Being able to tow a boat, separate the camper, launch the boat, or explore without breaking camp each time is a major benefit. Not only are we carrying our home away from home, but we can also remove the camper, support it securely on custom supports, and freely use the truck as desired.

My wife, Deb, drove alone to Bemidji, Minnesota, to visit our daughter's family. She experienced temperatures as low as 13 degrees Fahrenheit and 12 inches of snowfall but stayed warm and snug in our Alaskan.When it was time to leave, she simply drove out of the snow with no traction problems.

#369 - Kyle ChadekLeslie Gulch, Oregon2025 Toyota Tundra2025 Scout Yoho Pop-UpCamera Used - Pentax MX Film Camera, Kodak Gold FilmI had seen some photos of Leslie Gulch, so I decided to take a road trip to check it out. What I found didn't let me down. Tucked way out in the middle of nowhere, like the best places are, the amazing drive through this canyon led to a great campsite near a lake.The photo of our truck camper in the canyon was a perfect way to show the scale and rugged terrain of this truly amazing place that few people have seen or will ever see.

We had chased a sunset the night before at La Push but got fogged out again.We planned to get to the Hoh Rain Forest early because we were worried about long lines. This was the sunrise at a small pull-off about five miles before the Hall of Mosses Trail. Epic adventures!

We traveled through Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Arkansas. We visited almost every national park and scenic area we could along the way.This picture was taken a couple of miles from our campsite at Lees Ferry, Arizona, at a spot called Balanced Rock. The rocks are enormous, and we wanted to show their scale next to our rig. We love the adventure and nature our truck camper brings us.

This was our first stop on our Eastern Sierra autumn trip and our very first time there. Getting there was a trip, literally, but the picture speaks for itself. It was beautiful, to say the least. We felt on top of the world.My wife and I have been camping for ten years, and we are so enamored with our rig and the places it has taken us and will take us in the future. It's a very special experience.

#380 - Ryan BrownColorado2022 Ford F-2502025 Supertramp Flagship LTCamera Used - iPhone 17 Pro MaxThis photo was taken on my first-ever trip to Colorado. After Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, I spent nine days exploring the mountains of Colorado on my way back home to Southern California.I specifically chose this spot after seeing many people on YouTube taking pictures on this rock formation. I'm always searching for awesome places to park my truck with epic views in the background.Not only was the view epic, but the trail to get there was just as incredible. I got to test the rig on many different obstacles and was constantly amazed by how capable this full-size setup is. I know Imogene Pass isn't crazy technical, but judging by the looks my buddy and I were getting, it's definitely not a trail that sees many full-size rigs.The on-and-off rain showers made things even more interesting. This trip definitely made it to the top of my all-time favorite adventures.

Our main goal was to average about 200 miles a day and camp by the water each night.It was an awesome week-long trip and a great father-and-son bonding experience that wouldn't have been possible without a truck camper.
