I would like to thank Brad for allowing Truck Camper Trip Reports as a Sticky. We hope that this thread will grow to include lots of helpful information for those planning local and international trips, expeditions and caravans with their TC. Trip Reports will organize RV.net Truck Camper Forum threads on past, present and planned Truck Camper trips and expeditions, into an easy-to-research topic tree, by region.
I am quite busy, so if anyone has a thread they want to add to the list, just send the address to the thread to me (Silversand) in a PM, and I will review it for inclusion as my time allows.
Please remember, every thread can't be added, so a nominated thread may not make it. But the goal here is to capture links to the trip author's narrative and technical info before they fade away into cyberspace.
I thank all members who have taken time to contribute!
