Dana Peck

Hi everyone! As I’m sure many of you know my name’s Dana. I’ve spent the better part of the past year and a half living in a vehicle of some sort. Starting in a minivan I upgraded to a bigger van, and then to a truck camper that I now hope to call home for a while.

Living in the camper has been a very rewarding part of my life. I love having the flexibility to travel where ever my heart desires. In the first year it gave me opportunities that I could not be more grateful for. From meeting new friends in Utah to spending a month and a half with old friends, while snowboarding at Silverton with my dad. These experiences are something I wouldn’t trade for the world, and I’m excited to start taking everyone along with me.

Ever since I began traveling it became a big part of my life. Whether it was weekend trips or spending a month sleeping in my tent and car I loved being on the move. I still love being on the move, and even with the drawbacks of truck camper life, it’s worth it for me to be able to move around. There is a lot of places I would like to explore, and being able to spend a few months at a time somewhere with the camper is something I love.

Another thing I love about being in the truck camper is how much my access to the outdoors increases. In the summer there are so many places close to trailheads that I can camp before heading out on a morning hike. In the winter as close as I can get to the resort is the happiest I’ll be.

While the excitement of weekend trips has definitely faded with driving my house around, I love being able to live every day like a camping weekend. Although it’s small, the camper has become a true home that I have grown to love. I hope you can grow to love my camper too.
