There are a lot of RV options out there to buy and rent. The image that may come to mind when you picture an RV is the super-bus motorhome, but there are other versions of RVs that are different. One such version is the backpack camper RV.
The backpack camper RV, also called the cab-over or truck bed camper, is a camper that slides right onto your truck bed. They’re like trailers, in that you attach them to your truck, but they’re like driveable RVs that you drive with your “home” right on top of your wheels.
There are plenty of benefits and advantages in owning a backpack camper like the Lance 960 Truck Camper.
The Benefits and Advantages of the Lance Backpack Camper
One of the biggest benefits of a backpack camper is the versatility and flexibility in its movement. Towing a trailer can mean having to worry about how one can move. The same goes for a bus-like motorhome where you’re limited with regard to the places you can move. You can easily drop your backpack camper off, though, and move freely with your truck.
Another benefit of a backpack camper is the great gas mileage. Larger RVs that trail behind you or are driveable can necessitate extra gallons and an emptier wallet.
A backpack camper, in contrast, has a smaller profile and is less of an expense when it comes to the gas station. A backpack camper is also much easier to maintain and repair than a towable or driveable RV.
