Riding in the back of a truck camper

<< < (4/5) > >>

threeful:
A couple of yrs ago several people died in a truck slide in from carbon monoxide.  I recommend not doing it.

Motor:
If you've ever seen what can happen to a truck camper, or travel trailer when in an accident, it would be the last place you would ride, or allow anyone else, or a pet to ride.

Lot's of different laws between the States, means lot's of different perspectives on the subject, that's for sure.  I like the two-way communication requirement.  Agree... RV crashes can be ugly, TT's, TV's, Truck Campers, C's and yes MH's as well....

So I just took the family on a 3500 mile trip with our truck camper, we started in St. Louis and went to WV and DC then down to Orlando and back to St. Louis. It took a few weeks but we had a lot of fun. But back to the point, we got stopped at a "safety stop" in Ohio while my wife and kids were riding in the camper. He looked over my papers and then went to the back and knocked on the camper door and talked to my wife for a minute and told us to have a good trip. The only thing he asked me about people riding in the back was if the kids could crawl through the pass through window and I think it made him want to get a truck camper...

We kids rode in the cab over bunk, it was a great way to see the sights. No crew cabs yet. Mom also wanted the tail gate closed in case the door flew open and we fell out. ::) I think she was more worried about us killing each other and disposing the bodies. ;D
Looking back on it makes me shudder. In the event of a collision we would have been blood soaked missiles and we could not get out in an emergency. Nobody not even pets ride in the back now.
