My family and I have been around camping and RVing for many years.  Seems we have always had a coach of one kind or another since back in the 50's.  Back this last spring, I sold our Class “A” and Tag Trailer for hauling, which had several mods in, such as inverter that was on a manual transfer switch, 30 Amp that was upgraded to 50 Amp service, converter upgrade with charge wizard, out with the 12 volt house battery and in with multiple 6 volt Deep Cycle batteries, most lights were LED inside and outside and the list went on.  I even remade the roof A/C covers that were no longer available.  These did help bring a better selling price since it was a 1990 model coach and just the normal maintenance was enough to keep one busy. 

For the past 3 years we have decided to down size and have been actively looking for a Truck camper to go in our dually.  FINALLY last week I found a very nice 1997 Real Lite RL 1200 Truck Camper that is a little rough around the edges, but is structurally in great shape.  The previous owner out grew the unit and was in the process of converting a school bus to a Class “A”. 

So now I have my work cut out for me once again, but I look at that as just being therapy in my older years.

I know you will enjoy the pickup camper…..Our first two campers were pickup campers, we had more fun with our first one back in 1965 than we have had with any of travel trailers or fifth wheels since…..It had a porta potty, no shower, no hot water heater, just a basic camper, a refer and a heater and a propane light for those dry camping times…..
