Rig
Slang for the complete truck-and-camper combination. In truck camper communities, "rig" refers to your entire setup — the truck, mounted camper, and any accessories like bike racks, solar panels, and awnings. You'll hear "nice rig" at every campground and trailhead. A "rig tour" is a popular video format where owners walk through their complete setup, and "rig weight" refers to the total combined weight of the truck, camper, gear, passengers, and consumables.
