I checked out Palomino but didn't see any of the newer ones with that option. I noticed Truck Camper Magazine did a review of one from 2010 or 11? that had the option. I guess I would need to give them a call.

The motor would be much more important to me than the interior, but then again, you can always destroke the Ford and put a Cummins in it like the OP is considering.

Thanks, I did that though, so far I only have two on the list. The NA RV market is pretty sad.

Looking at manufacturers that build truck campers with a cassette toilet option. Not that many from what I have seen. So far I know Northstar Livin lite any others??

I agree with above. Look for a Dually like Rethies! Problem solved.

You made good choice. Be sure to post tons of photos and updates about truck and camper.

Can't wait to see those on the truck and mounted up. In case I missed it, what gears is it running?

I will be by tomorrow to check it out.

If all you are doing is hauling some stuff, the long bed 2wd should be fine.

you can pick up a Dodge dually with 4 doors for 20k no problem.

@ $625 a tire, they are not cheap.

Are these any cheaper after shipping and import than what they sell for at expedition west? I also noticed they had a 19.5 inch mud terrain looking tire.

Does it have a turbo? If not, you might want to think about adding one. Those trucks are a dog, and move up hills at the pace of volkswagon bus without one, loaded down even worse. Also, what coolant is used makes a difference since they can be prone to cavitation. Try oilburners forum for more...

Heard they were also coming out with a 255/85/17. Not sure how true that rumor is.

Thanks.

Okay, test drove this truck tonight. It definitely is a lot nicer than driving my 20 year old 2nd gen. I like how it drives, straight. Shifts good, checked blow by (but it was when the motor was cold), no blow by to speak of, truck was supposedly fleet maintained which explains why it also is an...

Any update on the wheels? I thought about Rickson's wheels, but have second thoughts. It would be nice if there where a few other manufactures.

I started a thread about this exact tire in the domestic full size forum, a pissing match ensued about skinny vs. wide tires etc. I am still looking for opinions on this tire so if you find any please share. I was thinking about these tires on a dually.

Well I found a 2006 3500 5.9 with 6 speed manual with 211,000 miles for 14k, http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/985123?ad_cid=12 you can see a 96 12 valve for sale above it going for 18k...

It's not that I think they are going to blow up an any minute, but that I have seen more than a few for sale with the engines replaced with under 150k. I wouldn't say it doesn't happen with 12 valves, certainly if they are abused and the owner didn't do regular maintenance they are just as...
