    I'm working on dropping "subtle" hints to the wife about picking up a cap, for the same reason... especially now since we have little ones, to one day take them camping, to make it a bit "easier" as far as the sleeping arrangement goes. So far she's not biting. :frusty:

    She's going to want a camper, dude. Sharing the back of a truck with you and two kids miles away from a shower or coffee isn't what she's looking for, haha!

    No more camping here. She became a wife and we said goodbye to our "tent" might as well have been a house. Glamping from here on out

    LMAO. You're fucked up dude. J/K!!!!!!! But you sure as hell crack me up. She actually mentioned something along those lines when we were talking about this, so... you never know! Maybe I can convince her into getting one of those instead!

    I think we have 6 trips planned so far. We're camping on Lake Champlain twice, once on the VT side, once on the NY side, Freeport, ME, Central NY, Saratoga and Central MA.

    I started hacking up the camper and adding to it this past weekend. I've added a lot of storage inside the camper and a storage bin that will hang off the back bumper. I still have a few holes inside to patch :anonymous: but should be done this weekend.
    You could always bring screw jacks to level the truck a bit. Also, putting them under the frame would make it less bouncy while you're parked.

    Caps are great, I'm glad I finally broke down and got one for the Tacoma. Now, I'm sure I'll have them on all my trucks. The new F150's look a little weird at the back with a cap though because of that ridiculous lip they put on the tailgate. That'd be my biggest gripe with a cap on a new F150.

    Just call 'em like I see 'em.
    If she's not big into camping, a camper is probably the way to go if you want her to get started.

    Good point. Guess I have some more work to do, to try and convince her then.

    Look at it this way;
    If you drag her out into the woods, make her sleep on the ground, cook on a little gas stove on a picnic table (or a rock), and go multiple days without a shower, all while caring for two young children, it's not going to be a good first experience with 'camping' for her. Might turn her off to it completely, so that she doesn't want to do it any more.

    If you bring her along in a camper, she'll have a roof over her head, an actual stove, a toilet, a shower, electric lights, etc. Most of the comforts of home, but in a different setting. She'll have a lot more fun that way, and she'll be a lot more likely to want to do more camping in the future, maybe even moving to tents and more remote sites, etc.

    And you don't have to jump in with buying one; there's lots of places (at least around here) that actually do camper rentals. That way you can see if it's something that the two of you would enjoy and want to do more of, before you go and drop the $$$ on buying one.

    Very valuable 2 cents sir. Good point. Never even thought about the renting thing... going to try using that approach for sure. :thumbsup:

    My biggest gripe is how much the damn things cost these days. If you want a good one you're spending at least a grand.

    It's the camping equivalent of 'Just the tip'

    And we all know how that ends.

    Went to Bay of Fundy when I was a kid and was blown away. Standing on one of the overpass bridges right at the bay and watching how quickly that tide moved was really neat.

    You're going to be over a grand for a bottom of the line cap if you go new. A no frills cap for the F150 from Leer or ARE is going to run you about $1,400 new and the options add up quick. If you go with one of the lesser known brands like Century, you might save a little bit but you'll still be well over $1,000. If you've priced them out in your area and found them to be less, let me know. I've called around looking for caps for F150 and got sticker shock which is why I went used.

    Yeah, I'm looking at used ones. The new ones I've priced are close to $2k. Not worth it.
