Q&A

How did you decide to live in a truck camper?

We wanted a smaller, more maneuverable option for travel, and a truck camper allowed us to have the freedom to explore while still having a cozy home base.

How do you handle water and sewage while living in a truck camper?

We have a 40-gallon fresh water tank and can refill it at campgrounds or other sources. For sewage, we typically rely on dump stations at campgrounds or other designated locations.

What are some challenges of living in a small space?

One challenge is limited storage space, so we have to be creative in finding solutions, like using metal shelves and baskets. Another challenge is sharing a small bathroom, but we've found ways to make it work, like using sponge showers.

How do you handle cooking and meals in a truck camper?

Our truck camper has a three-burner stove and an oven, so we're able to cook meals just like in a regular kitchen. We also make use of storage solutions, like pantry space and extra shelves, to keep ingredients and supplies organized.

What advice do you have for someone considering full-time RV living?

Start by testing out the lifestyle on shorter trips to see if it's a good fit for you. Make sure your RV is equipped with the necessary amenities and storage solutions to meet your needs. And most importantly, embrace the freedom and adventure that comes with living on the road!
