Just met a couple in Arizona on their maiden voyage in their new ATC. Picked it up from Marty and the gang and making their way home to Minnesota. Really enjoying their camper. Good job All Terrain Campets.

Today about 11:20 (Eastern) a pop-up (FWC or ATC) on a Toyota (Tacoma?) westbound on US 41 near mp 47 in Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida.
It's rare to see any type of pickup camper in The Southeast, so to see 'our' type is special.

Agree 100% !!! I never see any in my area. When traveling through Nova Scotia last Sept I had a lot of people asking questions . One Guy insisted I follow him to his home so he could show his Wife. Another Guy followed me until I pulled into a store and quizzed me for a while.

This morning parked in the marina lot at Flamingo, Everglades, Florida: a FWC Hawk on a Chevy Silverado -- West Virginia plates.
I posted earlier about the scarcity of pickup campers in The East. However, I've seen several camped near me in the Flamingo Campground "Trailer Loop". Why more here? My theory: As a famous national park, Everglades attracts all types from all over, including those who don't normally favor RV-ish campgrounds, e.g., pickup camperers. But if you want to spend time deep inside the park (with a vehicle) it's in this campground or not at all.
This campground is spatially luxurious -- huge gaps between each campsite. They could double the campsite density and still be ok. Very nice.

Sighting in Big Lagoon State Park campground, near Pensacola, Florida:
A newer FWC Hawk on a F250... from some state
... apparently, from one of those states that don't require front plates.
(someday there will be a law... 😉)

I hope this was purchased as a project, otherwise I think someone had truly bad luck. Seen in Ontario, Oregon.

Friday, March 4th, there was a FWC on a white truck parked and camped along Lee Flat Road on the western edge of Death Valley National Park. We walked out to Lee Flat Road on our night walk and came within a few hundred yards of the camper with the interior lighted. Did not want to scare the bejesus out of the occupants by knocking to say hello. This is a very remote area. From a great distance, we watched the truck drive out Saturday morning.
