You splurge on a diesel heater yet?
Haven't. It's surprising how much heat that lantern puts out in the canopy. I also have another little heater if it gets really cold. Truck camping also means I can bring good bags. I don’t leave heaters on all night. mtmuley

Those diesels are sweet about half gallon probably keep you warm all night and it sits outside the truck

Sweet baby rays?! We gotta have a talk.
In moderation not too bad. mtmuley
Definitely a consideration. I also have a tent I pack around sometimes. mtmuley

I have had the topper on my last 3 trucks and haven't ever regretted it. The current one I bought new when this truck was new....ext cab 8 ft bed F150. When loading for camp it absolutely swallows gear. Unless you are gonna be doing an atv or NEVER going on rough stuff I am anti trailer. This is from experience with CPO pulling his trailer to camp because he refuses to get an actual truck with an actual bed (5.5 beds are just trunks IMO). Trailers kill mileage, act like anchors on sketchy terrain (especially snow and ice) and put much more stress on transmissions......add to that the fact that even with his trailer I always seem to be packing a good deal of other people's shit in my bed.
