Donna Bitcon and Ed Amato sent in the following tips, advice, and photographs after they experienced a camper breakdown.

We debuted the 2012 Phoenix Geo-Den early this month and it’s already been a big success for Phoenix Campers.  In fact, they recently installed a Geo-Den on a 2011 Ford Raptor (see pictures below).  This is after buiding a custom P.U.L.S.E. camper for a Ford Raptor this past Spring.  That truck and camper combination got […]

The response to last Friday’s Question of the Moment, “Have you ever had a challenge with your truck camper related to the length, height, or width of your truck bed?”, was off the charts.  It seems I hit a nerve, again.  As Angela will tell you, I’m good at that. Reading your responses, I had […]

We had some excellent responses to our first Question of the Week in a long time; “If you could go truck camping in a foreign country, what country would that be, and why?“.  As a magazine, we have only truck camped in the United States and Canada and look forward, with some trepidation, to truck […]
