Watch our experience as we weigh our #truck and #truckcamper! Driving through Clovis, New Mexico we saw a CAT scale sign.

A CAT scale presented itself and we could get a true wet weight. So, in this video, we pull our rig on the scale and weigh it. Watch this video to see if we were over or under the GVWR of our truck.

Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?
In 2004 we were planning a cross-country trip. We started researching RVs and came across truck campers. We had seen layouts and photographs on the web, and then went to see a truck camper in person. We were sold!
Throughout 2004 and 2005 we explored many national parks, state parks, and BLM areas in our camper. Upon returning from that trip we sold our truck camper and went back to our jobs.
Missing our lifestyle on the road, we thought, “What if we started a magazine about truck campers?” We knew we could help others get to the same point we were at - enjoying the open road, meeting new people, and discovering new places.
That’s where Truck Camper Magazine began. We started calling the manufacturers and dealers, and they were excited to support our efforts. Soon we were announcing new truck campers, holding mod contests, and interviewing users about their camping adventures.
We are now in our 11th year of publishing two full-length articles a week and sharing our love of truck campers with others. Thank you for supporting and reading Truck Camper Magazine!
