Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and would love some advice. Two fun questions to contemplate :

My hubby and I are retiring in 1 year and would like to purchase a new truck and a good used truck camper. We have done lots of tent camping are comfortable in tight quarters. We like toys (motorcycles, boat, UTV's and kayaks) so have decided a truck camper is the way to go. We also like the idea of something a little better at handling forest service roads, and BLM camping areas. So here is the million dollar question (okay...hopefully, not that much)...if you had a budget of say 50 to 100K for both truck and camper...what would you buy and where would you buy it. We live in the Dakotas and truck camper dealers are non-existent in our neck of the woods. Northstar is in Iowa so that is one brand that is a consideration. We can travel anywhere to purchase though so all options are on the table. We are fans of a low-profile hardtop, 4 season option with no slides and wet bath/cassette toilet as we tend to camp in some cool temps. Lighter the better. I'm already checking on RV web sites, Ebay, Craigslist but not many options where we live so will probably be traveling to find something suitable.

Next question: If you had 4 months to travel in Jan-April....where would you go? We have camped a lot in the summer/spring and early fall (very chilly)....but never the winter months. South will be the direction but SE, South Central or SW to start off our adventure. What are your favorite places for this time of year?

I'm a fan of learning from folks with experience so if you have the time...we are all ears!

Thanks!!!
