Truck camper

In North America the term truck camper and its derived acronym TC, are generally used to refer to any recreational vehicle or RV that may be carried in the bed of a pickup truck. In North America, this RV type is sometimes known as a slide-in or cab-over.

In English-speaking Europe the term demountable or dismountable is more frequently used, and in Australia, the term slide-on is used to describe RVs of this type.

History

Truck campers are usually considered the most versatile form of recreational vehicle. They are capable of going virtually anywhere a pickup truck can go.

The earliest truck campers date to the mid-40s and appeared almost at the same time. They were the Cree Truck Coach built in Marcellus, Michigan by Howard Cree and the Sport King built by Walter King's company in Torrance, California. King built the first cab-over camper. The first Cree models were displayed at a sports-and travel show at Navy Pier in Chicago in 1945.

What is believed to be the world's largest truck camper (18 foot) was manufactured by Interior RV (now defunct) of Penticton, BC, Canada. It was a one-of-a-kind concept unit. It was sold in 2008 or 2009 and its current location is unknown. Interior RV was also the first company to develop a slide out for a truck camper.

Slide on the Rhythm

"Slide on The Rhythm" is a 1993 Eurodance House song recorded by the British music project Arizona, featuring Bajan-born singer Zeeteah Massiah (credited as "Zeitia" on the song), which was written and produced by Michael Gray and Jon Pearn (under the production name Greed, which later became Full Intention). The single reached number one on Billboard 's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on October 2, 1993. The track sampled portions of a 1982 Club song, "Ride on The Rhythm," by the American group Mahogany, which was written and produced by Nick Braddy and Richard Bassof (for whom they get credits for on the American release of "Slide on The Rhythm"). The latter was also one of the earliest production works for Nick Martinelli.
