Do you mean space between the duels? I'll get a pic tomorrow.

I'm on my iPad now but it opens in the correct orientation on it. For some reason this web site is rotating it.

Yes I think it's the way it's sitting.

Aired my fronts down to 30 psi and made it through sand I couldn't began to make it through with full pressure.

Your camper looks great on your truck. The previous examples on regular SRW trucks make the camper look way too big. I love the build quality and the innovation.

About got the interior the way I want it, pending more use.

Got the paper towel dispenser up, I can't imagine cooking without paper towels.

Also installed a knife magnet bar. Limited counter space so getting tools up off the counter will be handy. While traveling they go in this leather carry case.

Found a place to store the dinette table and get it out of the pantry. I’m holding it in place with some rope until I can get a bungee cord.

Got the Centramatics tire balances installed. Im impressed so far. Really smoothed out the larger tires.

Also installed Crossfire pressure equalizers on the duels. Now my duels will always have the same pressure.

Leaving Thursday for five days through eastern Oregon and northern Nevada. I think I'm just about ready.

I just stumbled on your thread, beautiful vehicle and camper! Have you changed these springs? The reason I ask is because the photo shows them cinched down to nearly solid height. That means they are unable to move and won't last long. I have done a lot of research on spring mounted beds but have never gotten much information on real world spring rates. I would be interested in seeing what actually works for your application. If it is still in this configuration then basically, you are solid mounted. I have some experience working with industrial springs and am willing to help as much as I can to gain some real world numbers if you are interested.

Camped out in northeast Nevada at 4800 ft. Camper is performing well. Last night in low teens and we stayed toasted warm.

Spent two days with the tires aired down to 40psi front and 35 psi rear. Absolutely no issues, and considerably smoothed out the ride. Very happy with the way the truck/camper combo has performed.
