More than 1.7 million Canadian families use recreational vehicles (RVs) for travel and leisure time, including hunting and fishing.

Why not, use it for activities like that makes sense. I use my cargo trailer to haul my ATV to the hunt site and then pop up the cot/mattress and sleeping bag. Small genny for an electric heater and bar fridge/freezer.

I made a post about my parents going on a big road trip. Ever since they got the towable rv they went camping alot more than usual and they went on a crazy road trip to Yellowstone. It is very much easier than having ti set up a tent tarps unpack your whole truck etc.

We used to have a Starcraft hard top camper that saw a lot of hunts over the years. It slept 5 guys very comfortably and the other guys rigged their truck beds to sleep in. We did 90% of the cooking and eating outside in a classic tarp camp. With a rippin' campfire going almost continually,even in really crappy weather,we were all warm and dry. Great memories............

ROFL Yeah,we should never make things too comfortable and convenient,right? All I have to say to my Mrs. is "Outdoor squattin' facilities only" and she's out.

Sounds wayyy to primitive for a liberal guy like me from Toronto. LOL

But seriously back in the day most of the camps were pretty make shift like this and were lots of fun because the guys were a different breed.
I am not to sure about this making a bed in the back of a pickup truck we had the camp boss try that one year on a Moose hunt and he literally froze his a-- of the first night. In the meantime I was in a tent with a small propane heater nice and warm and cosy, yes I am still alive so it was well vented.

There's a trick to truck box bunking. Most people like to use air matresses because they smooth out the ridges on the bottom of the box. Truck steel combined with air in the mattress conducts and transfers cold better than a refrigerator. Placing a piece of carpet underlay over the air mattress and rolling a cold weather sleeping bag over provides unparalled insulation and toasty warmth on the coldest nights.

I do the truck cap camping, started with just a cot with a foam mattress, Now graduated to a plywood bed with foam mattress. I sleep in it almost every weekend from June to November. This late I bring the buddy heater just to take the chill off in the morning getting dressed. 0 degree sleeping bag and a couple blankets does the job though.
