Hi Folks,
I’ve been watching this forum for a few months now because I’m trying to decide whether to get a Four Wheel Camper. My girlfriend and I are 64-year-old retirees living in Virginia. We are too old for sleeping on the ground, putting up tents in the rain and all that. But we want to get out and see the West while we still can. So a truck camper seems like the way to go. I’m convinced that FWC is the best choice. I already have a nice 2007 Tacoma FWD TRD access cab. The front-dinette Fleet is my tentative choice.
So, I’ve been watching this forum for a few months now, considering the various options. I even went so far as to visit the FWC factory in Woodland. I have a list of what I would order, but I am still hesitant…
We think we could function well enough in the small space, especially in nice weather. But it’s not clear to either of us that we could consistantly get a good night’s sleep in those beds. I’m a big, tall guy and we can’t really sleep together in a queen bed. The lower bed looks awfully confined. My girlfriend couldn’t go with me when I visited the factory and another trip to California is not an option.
So, here is my question for you forum folks: Does anyone in the East have a Fleet camper that we could come and look at and maybe try lying on the beds?
Thanks,
- Bernard
