Because of my renewed interest in truck campers, I dug out an old article I wrote for The Spokesman Review on Vi and George Chambers of Spokane, Wash.

I remember liking them immediately because of their upbeat personalities and positive outlook on RVing in the cozy space of a truck and camper.

“Basically with our camper,” says Chambers, “we can go anywhere our truck can go. We’ve taken it out for four-month trips and haven’t had any problems finding a place to park.”

As for the smaller living space, Chambers admits that it can get a tad bit snug for two people at times.

“You just have to make a little space for each other,” he says. “After more than 40 years together you learn these things.”

The Chambers are members of the North American Truck Camper Owners Association.
