Well...the questions are just 'cause this is such an unusual situation. I've never seen anyone camp in their pop-up with it not on the truck and I don't recall anyone bringing it up on this forum before.Kispiox said:Rotti, you & Mark BC, retired NSA?
That is interesting. I am surprised more folks do not do this. I would think more fishermen, and hunters would gravitate toward FWCs and those groups would have other uses for their truck in that pursuit? Or, their spouse might go with them but stay in camp during that pursuit? I'm surprised!MarkBC said:Well...the questions are just 'cause this is such an unusual situation.

I do understand the desire to be able to drive away from camp without taking the camper, but having to support the floor when not on the truck makes it less than convenient...to me. I've occasionally considered getting a small motorcycle and bringing it along as a solution. But I haven't yet...maybe because taking along a motorcycle isn't convenient to me either.
I don't really know what fraction of pop-up campers ever remove the camper from the truck while camping. I assume that it's small because I don't remember it being a topic of conversation on this forum. But there may be more than I'm aware.Kispiox said:That is interesting.

That is my exact same Skookum Steelheader boat that I carry in my jet boat when on the road. I also have a one bag boat for hiking in and when I do not pull a trailer. An 8' Skadden Kevlar that only weighs 20lbs oars and all. The Skookum is a great white water boat. Never had it in still water.idahoron said:These are the pontoons I take o my trips. Ron

Yes that would have been Terry whom I referenced earlier and whose instruction I have followed for the SO VERY FEW TIMES THAT I HAVE DONE IT only during periods where I had an additional use for my truck.Kispiox said:Fair enough on the employer, me too. Thanks. With regard to the floor support, picnic tables work good too. FYI. A knowledgable source recommended tying if down, whom I will protect and which I have done. I just wondered it any alternate methods have been used with success. I always err with abundance of caution. I am certain that in this litigious age FWC would simply say don't do that. Understand that. Way to many lawyers, politicians and NSA too!
