I added some insulation to the windows in the cabover with some bubble reflective foil insulation. Hoping it at least cuts back on the summer heat.

I remember when I thought the TC manufactures were crazy for eliminating the front window and these days I wish mine didn't have one.

Regular cabs. The best looking trucks.

Hopefully this job pays mega bank, because I can't imagine having to live in a truck camper on the job site.

I do it for up to 16 days at a time. It's actually quite relaxing. No commute. Wake up, make coffee and breakfast, pull on the work clothes and you are there when you walk out the door. Lunch you have a full kitchen and private bathroom, end of the day you walk to the parking area go in the camper crack a beer, shower and have dinner and kick back.

^^^ and that right there is a slice of Heaven. lol, sounds like camping, minus go "hiking, fishing" and return home.

Work camping is actually quite relaxing; one is focused, can't worry about the stuff at 'home'.. Don't want to do it full time, but, it is good for the soul.

'16 F550 CC, 4x4 with Link Ultraride air suspension, '18 AF 1150. Just so we can play with our snowmobiles, dirt bikes and fishing boat. And new 20' tag along...kayaks, bikes, mc's and extra water and food!!

I'm curious about exterior maintenance. Water leaks kill most RVs !

That's my choice.

It beats the hell out of staying in a motel and saves me big $$$$$$.

I haul the US Mail. I'm gone 14+ hours a day. My work truck is parked right outside my door.
I stay in the camper two nights one week and three the next.
I stay at a friends and he supplies me with power and water and charges me $50 month.
