Dale Jr’s journey to RV ownership wasn’t as straightforward as it might seem. Just a couple of months ago, the NASCAR icon found himself in a predicament, seemingly torn between two enticing options for his leisure pursuits. He took to social media, specifically Twitter, to express his fascination with truck campers. He wrote, “Got in a rut of watching truck camper reviews on @YouTube. The nostalgia vs the new technology is cool. Anyone own one? Curious if they’re as cool as they seem.”
This tweet also sparked a flurry of responses from fans, offering insights and advice on the world of truck campers. However, amidst the online chatter, a seed of doubt seemed to have planted itself in Dale Jr’s mind. The scarcity of truck campers on the road, coupled with the realities of their compact size and potentially high cost, led him to explore another option.

With y’all’s help I think I’m over the brief truck camper obsession. I bought a 22 year old houseboat last year. I’ve owned one before but for past and current owners what are some cool ideas. I’m adding new carpet. Otherwise I’m open to ideas, dos, and don’ts.
