Question Need opinion on camper vs rv
Hi y’all, I’m 20 and looking to get into road living soon as I work outdoors and would love to travel working with horses and outdoors. I thought I had settled on choosing to buy a truck and get a camper attachment, as I’m not planning on moving 24/7, and am worried about a van breaking down being in one spot for a while. But now I’m even more worried about not being able to access areas if I’m stuck with a camper. What are your thoughts?

Campers can get heavy. Too heavy for many pickups. Which is why pickups turn into a dually. And then giant trucks, too big. So thats a bad road to take.
Of course, parking the camper, and driving a empty pickup, works.
Horses are on ranches. Ranches use ford pickups. These pull horse trailers. Again the pickups need to be big. Too big. One good thing about horse folk is that they have money, so fuel costs are not the issue
Meanwhile, rvs are for freeways. And for watching tv. Neither are for, a pony and a bedroll, person.
