Joe Shead: Buying a camper for hunting seemed like a good idea… then the work began

I’ve always been a low-budget kind of outdoorsman. Why would I get a hotel when I can sleep in my truck?

For years, I would spend several nights of the deer-hunting season sleeping in what my friends and family began dubbing the “topper suite of the Hotel Chevrolet.” Sounds better than telling people you sleep in your truck, anyway.
But as one gets older, he might tend to get a little soft. Oh, I still sleep in the back of my truck at times, even while ice fishing. But one day I took a look at a slide-in truck camper and thought, man, it would sure be nice to have something like that.
