Epic Journey: Crossing Canada for the Perfect Truck Camper!

[@happydamcampers]

Awesome! Love the video. Similar to what we did. I bought my truck first in Calgary in 2021, drove back to Hamilton Ontario. Had a friend selling a truck camper in Powell river and ended up having to work in port Alberti on Vancouver island so I drove across candy with my new truck, picked up the camper as soon as I was on the island went to sleep country and bought a new mattress. I ended up sleeping in the camper for three weeks in the Walmart parking lot (Was installing signs in the store at night) then after I was finished the work me and my girlfriend (she flew in for my last week there) started driving across Canada back home. We have a 1997 lance legend 990, it’s a big camper and we put it on a 2010 ram 3500 diesel dully. We had to renovate our for it had water damage but got a good deal from my friend . We had fed solar (total 400 watt panels and 200 amp lithium) we have used it allot in the last year after we completed the Reno. I do allot of sign installs at the Walmarts so when I can I take it with me and sleep in it. (But the way our trip was in November across Canada - lots of snow )

Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure as well. Thank you for sharing. I had a quick peek at your enough video. You did a great job! Safe travels, and thanks for watching!

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures Thanks, we have meant to make a video as well on the Reno’s of our truck camper and our adventure across as well as the adventures since starting to use. We both still work full time and haven’t had the time yet to make those videos hope to soon though. We bought a inst360 camera to film the adventures .

Nice score, I had to fly to North Carolina from Ontario to get mine and drive it back + import it, what a mission that was but worth it. Safe travels

[@TheTimeIsNowAdventures]

Wow! That's a big undertaking. Glad you got it home! Safe travels to you as well.

Wow interesting story guys. We drove across two provinces three weeks ago to pickup our 9.4 Bigfoot and thought that was a long trip.

[@TheTimeIsNowAdventures]

Amazing! Which provinces did you cross? It was quite the journey for us for sure, but well worth it :) Safe travels and happy adventuring!!!

@@TheTimeIsNowAdventures We live 30km north of Regina Saskatchewan and picked our camper up in Cochrane Alberta. We have our own truck so we drove there and then stayed at an RV park in Cochrane for two nights before travelling back home. We also plan on some upgrades to our camper as it’s a 2006, first being refinishing of the gel coat. Happy adventures 😊

[@TheTimeIsNowAdventures]

@@leewaite789 The gel coat is a HUGE project. We hope it goes okay for you. We are about to start posting videos about our renovation. Hopefully they help inspire you. Thanks for watching and telling us about your adventure :)
