Getting the camper on and off is not a two minute operation, but a lot of that depends on the truck bed to jack leg clearance, if there is plenty of room then it goes pretty quick. I have seen pics of FWCs on smaller trucks(Tacomas and Rangers) in garages, but most truck/camper combos won't fit...

As far as the pros for a FWC or any other small camper compared to the RTT or flip pack, they usually have sinks, stoves and 3 way fridges. Not to mention a proper place to sit if you get caught in the rain. I have never been in a RTT, but don't think I would want to spend a rainy weekend in...

The good thing about steel wheels is that you can beat them sorta round with a pc of fire wood Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

ATC is not too popular in the east, there is a new Four Wheel Camper .dealer in Pa.

I agree, I scraped up the side of my Ram trying to get a small pop up in. I had spaced the jacks out, but It was so freaking wobbly because I had to go up so high, I'm going to blantenly steal your idea :) for my Alaskan

Keep the Ram you have, throw a Carli starter kit and some lockers on it, along with a winch and you will be 98% there for less money than taking a hit on what you have and buying new. Plus yours will ride much nicer and get 5+ mpg better( I don't recall if you mentioned your gearing, but the PW...

I would not want an aftermarket sunroof, do you really want some hack taking a sawzall to the roof? Stock ones have enough issues Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

I stand corrected on the gender Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

I went back and re read the post that I believe you are referring to, right in the first post he mentions that he was torn between a class B and the popup truck camper, before he bought anything. Not really my battle, but just because you had a good experience does not mean he didn't have a bad...

If I recall correctly, the "her" was a dude, a vet in fact, and his camper was a POS Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

That's a sweet truck,and no, your posterior looks fine. I like the blacked out look. My truck is dark blue metallic, with blacked out handles and mirrors,but chrome bumpers and rims, both need to go Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

Mines the smaller Hemi(5.7), I get about 15.5 unloaded back and forth to work, about 50mis per day on state roads 50-60mph Hauling the small sunlite truck camper on the same roads dropped down to about 12.5 Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

My previous truck was a Big Horn, present is a base 2500, the only major cockpit difference was i believe the Big Horn had electrically adjustable pedals( maybe the one you drove had them moved out all the way) I love the seats on the Laramie Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

I have had both, the Tundra would be more nimble, get slightly better mpg. If you don't need the payload, then the toyota rides better. Either one will last five years and get you in and out of the woods Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

The question can't be answered without more details on what you need the truck for Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

Um, why? They are both nice trucks, but the Power Wagon was built to be an off road machine, the only advantage would be if you don't do much serious offroad, the tundra would get much better MPG Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

Rereading the ops first few posts Go with a 2500 and the 850sc, lots more room Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

There is no way around physics, at some point,proably fairly close to the pic the cg will be outboard the down hill wheel Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

Whether it can or can't I guess the real question is do you need to? And is it worth the risk to a $200-300k rig to be a degree or inch too much? Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2

I looked at the ford F150 in 2012, you can spec it out with a 8200# GVW, the problem for me was the price, I could get a 250/2500 for similar money, and have a much beefier frame, brakes and axles Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk 2
