Pickup campers are ideal for long road trips, camping or fishing trips that last an extended period of time. Before planning your next trip, here are a few tips you should keep in mind. First and foremost, never overload your truck. It is not about getting your weight up to speed, but getting it to safely slow down and come to a stop when needed. Refer to the owner's manual of your truck for its maximum load capacity. If plan to pull weight over your truck's capacity, you will need a hitch extension. Make sure that your trailer ball is visible at all times to avoid possible collision. Use frame mounted tie downs for the front of your truck in lieu of the cheaper tie downs that only mount to the sheet metal of your truck bed. You want to be sure your camper is securely mounted to your truck.

Slide in campers are great if you want to save room. When you set up the camper, you have to remember to slide out the part of the camper that you will use. This part is usually either the sleeping area or part of the living area. You can slide the camper out when you want to stay in it at night, or you can keep it out the entire time you are camping. After you slide the camper out, you need to remember to slide it back in before you leave or it could damage the camper or the vehicle.
