J asked:


I have a 1987 Scottsdale pickup that gets about 18mpg on the highway. Would my gas mileage take a huge hit with a modest in-bed truck camper? Or is the difference pretty small?

I’m deciding between a truck camper and a “Class B” campervan for basic solo travel. It would be used on many long trips, so fuel economy is probably the #1 factor.

Thanks!
Thanks for the answers so far. Regarding JetDoc’s answer, I would probably never remove the camper from the truck at all.
