There may be other videos or lists out there but when we bought our first Northern Lite several years ago, we couldn’t find one. In this video, we walk through things you need to consider and items that you’ll need before getting your first truck camper or even thinking about getting one. Let’s face it, truck campers are awesome, you can just about go anywhere and do anything with one, and with a little pre-planning it can be the best experience ever. But just like anything if you don’t plan and you don’t have the right tools, it can turn into a nightmare. With this video, we’ve tried to alleviate the hassle and make things more simple for anyone who wants to get into truck camping by simply laying out what you will need before taking the plunge.
Stay tuned for our Truck Camper 102 video, coming soon!
As always, we hope you find the video useful and informative!
Thanks for watching!

►2020 Lance 1172 – We purchased from Southland RV in Atlanta, GA – August 2022 before our 3 week trip out west.
►2020 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper – We got our 2020 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper in October 2021. We were contacted by a couple of subscribers (now good friends) who had theirs up for sale in Upstate New York so we headed out on an adventure. We sold our 2014 Bigfoot 10.4 within one day of listing it online.
►2014 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper – We got our 2014 Bigfoot 10.4 in August 2021 from RVOne near Charlotte, NC. Todd was headed to buy a brand new Bigfoot 10.4 just before we got the Lance 975 but when he got to Southland RV, it was sold. That’s when we decided to go to the Lance 975. We knew at some point in the future we’d have a Bigfoot again and here it is.
►2021 Lance 975 – We got our new 2021 Lance 975 from Chattanooga Fish -n- Fun in Hixson, TN in August 2020. After looking at several models, we decided on the Lance 975 (Check out Brad’s channel from Chattanooga Fish n Fun, he gives great, thorough overviews of some really nice boats and campers.) We sold the Lance 975 in August 2021.
