Fall is one of my favorite times of the year, both the east coast and the west coast are beautiful! The leaves start changing colors, it gets cold and cozy, and then winter arrives and it's beautiful!
What are some of the downfalls living in a pop up camper? I'll show you a few of the things I've noticed in the several months I've been living and traveling in a truck camper as a female.

When I first moved to the U.S I worked so hard to buy my first truck and a cheap slide in pop up camper. Lived in there for 1 year... the second month in the u.s(which was supposed to be a 2 month trip) ended up meeting the love of my life which loved the camper... we lived in it for a year... I updated it... We could fit 5 extra people in there if needed with the extra pop up I adapted. Loved it... The first 6 months we loved it... the second 6 months we were addicted to it... ended up working from "home" drove around the whole u.s, hunting... fishing... and loving everyday. Now we own land in 3 different states... a cheap plane, and we built 3 beautiful small identical house in the 3 properties... we own animals... and still... believe it or not, drive that beauty around hahah God is great. ❤️🇺🇲🙌🏻 Keep on dreaming... keep on believing.

Great video! I'm at that fork in the road presently, after living most of my life in the south I've bought the truck and fifth wheel, probably downsize later, sold most of my stuff and hitting the road full time chasing 70 degrees. Do I know where I'm going, what issues there will be, etc. and all of the unknowns? Nope and the uncomfortableness of it is how I know it's the right thing to do. Life is short, live your dreams. Thanks for the inspiration! Safe travels!

Outsider Vans, and Storyteller are my faves, and I like the Winnebago Revel too. More living space, and nice to have the ability to jump into drivers seat if trouble is about. 😉👍

I’d recommend adding an Exped Mega Mat Duo 10 (or now there is a mega mat 15) inflatable insulated pad. It’s easy to adjust the firmness, it has an R9.5 insulation factor and it won’t mold like other pads. I love it! I will deflate it halfway and line my hammock too. The 10 sands for 10 centimeters (so around 4 inches), the 15 stands for 15 centimeters. They are so warm and even just relaxing on it warms the whole space, cuz it reflects your body heat back to you. It’s lightweight, easy enough to pack and don’t know why people don’t consider it? Yes, it’s expensive, but so worth the comfort and warmth.

You were correct in your idea of repositioning further away, just keep the vertical height the same or at the highest point and you will be protected and not have as many unwarranted alarms!

My son one day reached that fork in the road. He was either going to become a Wall Street occupier sitting in the park smoking dope or he was going to make something of his life. So I threw him the keys to my truck and told him let’s go, you’re driving. He replied, “Where are we going dad?” I said, you’ll know once we get there. We ultimately arrived at the recruitment offices of the military. Once there he again questioned, “What are we doing here?” I said, “You’re going in to talk with the Marine Corp recruiter. My son then when on a long ramble about not going into the Marine Corp, but willing to talk with the Air Force. Some ten years later, he’s already been in around nine years and likely the best decision of his life.

Being a wee lass, the camper fits you pretty well. Campers always have felt way too tight for me. And I'm only 5'10" -210 pounds. I spent most of a year in a 17 ft travel trailer. It felt just right for me but, when my 16 yr old son came to visit, it suddenly felt too small. I spent another long time in a pop up tent camper 6 weeks in Colorado. In fact, the whole family did for 3 weeks in Arizona. We were 4 kids, Mom and Dad and a black lab. It didn't feel all that bad. But then, the only time more than 1 person was inside was to sleep.

Robert Frost comes to mind ... "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Hmmm a fork in the road...........depends if you want to stay in your comfort zone(in a way), or need a change in your life at the moment. You can go off the main road for a bit and always turn around if you don’t like it. I’m not speaking literally, of course. Sometimes you may need to just let go, and see what happens. Balance in life is the key. Don’t be in control all the time.......because many times, you are not in control, the universe is.

I have a true four seasons Norther Lite Camper that I boondock in from March to November all over the Rocky Mountains. It sits in my 2009 Ford F350 with a Cummins 6.7 that I installed. I have been over mountain passes, logging trials, deserts, etc...so far I have not found a place or area I couldn't get into that is passable by a normal PU truck. My camper is light (it's a two piece fiberglass construction) has a full mattress queen sized bed. Indoor shower and bathroom, 3 burner stove with oven, large fridge and freezer, tons of storage, lithium batteries and solar so as long as I'm near a stream and stocked up on food I can stay weeks without going into town. It's awesome. I am interested in how your pop up will do in the winter. People I know that have had those, had problems keeping things warm even with the "winter" insulation packages for them..which is why I went with the Northern Lite cause I am out when it is still cold and snowy many times and it is very insulated and warms up in a flash.

You could build a tiny home on a trailer and then you could pull it to a new location whenever you want. You could borrow a small router and cut the hole in that cabinet. Maybe make a template out of some thick cardboard for a guide or carefully draw the outline of the opening on the cabinet and then carefully follow the line. You could use the cut out as the door with a little creativity. Everything you talked about you could easily make the changes yourself. I think you have the perfect set up for off grid life. If you go with a bigger truck camper then you may not be able to go off road like you do now. Love watching your videos and following your full time truck camper living. Stay safe out there Hannah!

So my first video i viewed of you young lady was the snow ride up the mountain to hot springs and getting stuck and unstuck. You are my hero cause you are a beast as a recovery expert now! Nice rig you have there! Just my first impression but after seeing you in the hot spring you found down at the base areas you are one beautiful gorgeous woman! The scenery is what is amazing in the background but getting past you is kind of difficult. Thanks for your adventures i m hooked now ! 21 years in law enforcement one needs a life outside of the norm and in the outdoors is where its at for me. Hugs/Muah

I check my gas gauge, make sure I have my 2 extra 5 gal cans attached to my truck bed, look at the map, check to make sure my worms are still feisty and my fish eggs fresh, and pray I make the right decision. Looks like you did in this video.... my, that little lake has some big trout in it.

It's light weight, better for the truck's (weight, fuel, longevity, mobility, tire wear, maint, just to begin with) vs. your Lance camper. Hannah, I have had two Lance's an 850 and a 1140. They were great for the insulation value, bath room, shower. But when I needed supplies, what a pain to break camp just to get water and ice. Hannah , buy a trailer!!!!!! After 25 years I finally woke up and got one. 20 footer would be ideal for you!!! Backing not an issue, keep you hand on the bottom of the steering wheel( don't turn your head, push the bottom of the steering wheel which way you want the trailer to go. Slow and simple. I see many single women trailer camping!!

A fork in the road is a decision point, right? I write down the "must haves" and the "wants" before I consider alternatives. Then I apply a weight to the different wants. After you do that, take time and write down the different alternatives. Then score each alternative. if the totals come out very close, you can flip a coin.

The answer to the question is you go outside and read each fork separately. The more well-travelled one usually leads to the most interesting destination. The least-travelled one usually leads to a dead end or someplace that people pay less attention to.

Having a piece of land is a very good idea a home base of sorts . I've been watching a lot of videos on shop/garage type buildings using it as a home base. It's a good place to change oil, do repairs, modifications, make regular meals, do laundry or just relax in a larger space for a while.

thats an easy question, pick a lane and ride it until the next fork!

Camping and outdoor stuff in general is not something I grew up with. My Dad and Mom were too busy working multiple jobs to feed and clothe us so there was no time for this sort of recreational activity. Now in my 50's I actually am interested in outdoor activities like camping, fishing, hunting and hiking. I ordered a large coleman tent and some sleeping bags for when I go to deer camp but was also thinking about getting something like the popup camper you have. I don't want to sell everything and just live out of a camper full time. Apart from my work commitments that would make it impossible I also don't fancy the idea of living on the road. That said something like your camper is compact enough to fit in my driveway or garage at home but convenient enough so that I can take it regularly to hunting and fishing camp. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I learned more than I knew before about these popup campers.

Although I don't have that mattress, I do have a firm mattress as well and put a 2in memory foam topper and very disapointed. Take it out and get the 6in memory foam mattress. You will easily be able to cut it down, roll it up and stuff it through the door and up to your bed

For camping I stopped by our local Fabric Depot and talked to a fellow in the foam department. He set me up with a medium density (I have no idea any more which one it was - but he was well versed in sleeping foams). I selected 2" thick stuff but I could very easily go to 1-1/2" next time. In the tent, on the ground it's like a Sealy Posterpedic. It's fantastic. I use it at home now (new mattress turned out to be less than ideal. Naturally it's not covered but you can do that after the fact.
