    I never understand this ideology that you can’t camp without a truck. I’ve been a frequent camper my whole life and I’ve always driven small economy cars.

      Because they just can’t bear to use a tent. They think camping must have a camper, and therefore a truck to haul it.

      The truck is where I sleep. No tent, no camper. Just the truck. I can camp anywhere I want with the same level of comfortability.

        That’s fine, I was just responding to the sentiment that you can’t camp without a truck which isn’t true. Tent camping is easy nowadays and I can even sleep fully stretched out in my Prius. Pickups don’t have a particularly large cab so I’m not sure why they would be better suited for this use than any other vehicles. You can certainly sleep in some SUVs though they aren’t any better than pickups from and efficiency or safety perspective.

          I sleep in the bed, which is around 6 ft long, more than enough for me to have room. I don’t fit into the SUV, so the truck is the only option if I want to stay dry.
