Title: 8.6 Truck camper on order

Getting pretty excited....have a 2014 8.6 Camplite on order from Truck Camper Warehouse in NH! Should be arriving soon.

Awesome.  Did you get it yet?

Did you get one with the 4 season package?  I'm curious how that actually performs in 0-30 range for a weekend or week.  Especially using the water systems still.

Congrats!

Thanks! Still haven't picked it up...should be ready within the next few weeks! We didn't get the 4 season package....the main reason we ordered one instead of buying off the dealers lot  was that we didn't want the cassette toilet....all of the 8.6's the dealer had were already equipped with that option which we don't need. Our campsite has full hook ups.

Wow...haven't checked the forum in a while.

 Update- picked our 8.6 up at the factory in IN. In May 2014 on our way to Colorado.
What a sweet rig...hardly knew it was back there.
The dogs and I and spent just over 6 months living out of it at our camp. Occasionally my wife (not retired..let :-) flew out from NY to join us....still worked out well with the four of us.

Looking forward to pulling it out of storage this spring & doing it again!

Six months in Colorado sounds like a great way to use the camper!

It was! Very happy with the Camplite TC....we had weather ranging from 18 degrees all the way up to 104...Stayed nice & comfy!

 I'd have to say that truck campers seem to be the RV of choice out in the Colorado Rockies! Saw a bunch...including quite a few Camplites.
