Four Wheel Pop-Up Truck Camper

We’ve bought and sold many travel trailers over the years but our Four Wheel Camper has always been a mainstay. It’s never come off of our truck in the 12 years we’ve owned it and has provided us with many unforgettable adventures. To this day we believe it’s the best money we’ve ever spent.

Full-time Four Wheel Camper living with Heather & Adam

F

Meet Heather & Adam. A couple of Ohioans that hit the road full-time in their Four Wheel Camper two years ago and haven’t looked back since. Pursuing their dream of full-time travel meant leaving behind stable jobs and a beautiful home. But they knew the life they craved lived beyond the comforts of life on a solid foundation. After a series of life-altering events showed them just how...

Why we have a truck camper and travel trailer for full-time travel

W

A few weeks ago we moved back into our travel trailer after spending 3 months traveling around Mexico in our truck camper. Since we’ve taken a unique approach to full-time travel by alternating between two different rigs, I thought I’d share the details behind the 10 years of experimentation that led us to this choice. I hope you enjoy this peek into our backstory! Every spring is...

Two months on the road after the busiest year of our lives

T

Back in 2017 when Mark was offered the job he has now, it took us a year to decide if it was the right move for us. We knew that no longer being business partners would change everything. And it has. Last year, more times than I can count, one of us was walking in the door from a work trip just as the other was on the way out of town. What made it all okay was knowing at the end of the year we...

Mark’s Favorite Camping Gear (and his attempt at choosing his top 10)

The night I was trying to wrap up the article I’d written about our Top 10 Favorite Pieces of Camping Gear, I sat down with Mark to compare our top 10 favorites to make sure we were on the same page before I hit publish.  After about an hour of Mark listing out every piece of gear that he loves and wouldn’t want to camp without (which is many things I might add), I finally got him to...

Our Top 10 Favorite Pieces of Camping Gear (or so I thought)

O

Our Four Wheel Camper combined with an awesome array of gear is what makes our camping trips so much fun, we never want to go home.  Since truck camper travel means limited space, every item that gets packed must have a good use, meaning we use and love everything we bring.  We pack far more than 10 items but I thought it would be fun to try and narrow down our top 10, must-have pieces of camp...

Cold-weather camping in our Four Wheel Camper

cold weather camping gear

We’re officially out of our house but not driving off into the sunset…at least not yet!  This month we’re finishing up some jobs in Colorado before heading South for the winter.  Before this month even began, I knew it would be an adventure given how volatile the weather can be at high elevation this time of year.  Sure enough, our third day out of our house it snowed 5″...

2017 Solar Eclipse: What it was like experiencing totality in Wyoming

2

(written yesterday, August 21, 2017) A few months ago Mark mentioned interest in driving to Wyoming to see the eclipse.  I’m a little embarrassed to admit this now but I wasn’t sure how much difference it would make to drive twelve hours round-trip to see 100% of the eclipse when we could have stayed home and seen 95%.  It’s not like me to be so unadventurous but being that we’re deep in the...

Take a glimpse at the Four Wheel Camper lifestyle

T

In April we traveled 6,000 miles and camped in 7 states living out of our Four Wheel Camper.  Those 30 days were just another 30 reasons why I hope to one day live on the road full-time.  Everyday somewhere new…a new view, a new challenge, a new experience.  I decided to document this trip less than normal but I still put together a fun little two minute recap video that will...

A look inside our Four Wheel Camper

A

We bought our Four Wheel Camper back in 2012 and I remember the process of researching and shopping for the perfect rig.  I was like a sponge to any info regarding truck campers that I could get my hands on.  Now that we’ve had our setup for a few years now and have everything pretty dialed in I thought I’d put together a little video to show the inside of our camper, what it looks...

Q:  I too have a Hawk camper on my ford truck.  I opted for the...
