Do you need a steering stabilizer? Yes and No. If you have a solid axle truck…it will help dampen the steering feedback from your suspension and tires. Stock trucks won’t need nearly as much damping assistance from the steering stabilizer. However, installing a suspension lift, larger or more...

Shurflo 3.0 GPM - Yes, it can siphon up to about 6ft distance. So we have to carry water jug to the camper and it can siphon from the jug/container.

How do you filter water? I noticed that “everyone” seems to have those blue CAMCO water filters on their hose connections. But… they are JUNK! They only filter down to 20 microns! That’s not enough to be safe. Those large stainless Berkey Water Filters have gained popularity for RV...

Awesome! Hope we can give you some ideas and inspiration. I like the Lance 650 size! Very cool.

Yes, you want a recovery strap! There is nowhere that is that far from somewhere in the states (maybe other countries). Getting another vehicle to help will be pointless unless you have basic recovery gear and recovery points. If still worried get a SAT messenger like Garmin Inreach to call...

We typically run 87 regardless of altitude. Don't really want less octane in the tank especially if/when dropping elevation. I guess if you lived and stayed at elevation all the time it might not matter. All the vehicles I've previously owned made a noticeable difference when running the...

Octane names and actual octane ratings vary by location around the country. I consider anything premium over "regular"... My point is simple... You just have to know what you are buying and be happy with it. Nothing against the Ram product. Just things we considered while shopping. I'm a...

Northstar "riser" option was 1.5" height. You could go 2" if you wanted a slight additional buffer. Ours cleared the roof antennas with the "riser" and rubber bed mat (maybe 1/8" thick). Hope that helps! The camper has an open floor (exposed gray tank) framing. You might want to mount a...

It says: "The use of 89 octane "plus" gasoline is recommended for optimum performance and fuel economy." Sure you don't need to run recommended octane or oil. But it won't perform "optimum" according to the manufacturer. For me... I follow the recommended items. Not to say you can't get by...

I'd make sure you have: Good spare tire (matching size), jack (working) and lug wrench, basic hand tools (wrenches), tire pressure gauge (ability to air down), air compressor (air up), shovel (good digging one - short shovel), recovery strap (I like the bungee style - Bubba rope), recovery...

Read the manual. People do what they want. But I like following the manufacturer recommendations. That's just me.

My recommendation would be to buy neither! Both are over priced and only partially better "off road" than any stock type truck. We looked at the 2019-2020 Power Wagon. Here's what we didn't like: 6.4L Hemi Motor. It has plenty of power no issues there. It's the other stuff that sucks. 1...

We just had the factory Northstar "riser kit" and Ford bed mat. Camper cleared the cab and antennas (although close clearance). I'm not familiar with using foam for the base. We've used a 4x8 rubber stall mat (cut down) for the Tundra. Getting some isolation between the metal truck bed and...

Your truck isn't that much larger than the modern "midsize" trucks (talking 5" wider) and the wheelbase isn't much longer than the widely accepted Jeep Gladiator. People will tell you to turn around. Go figure it out for yourself. Bring some recovery gear and adventure! Locking differentials...

It would be nice to hook one of those CO2 alarms to an electronic tank shut off valve. That would solve the blowing up experience. Crazy deal. Did insurance help out? Sprinter vans are sweet... Incredible to drive and the MPG is insane. But... 4WD is really an AWD with no locking...

You might not need to do much. We were running 1" clearance from the "dual antennas" and absolutely no issues. The frame has nearly no deflection even with the suspension twisted. It's not like your old Dodge. This is a massively different beefier frame. We added another 1.5" in height to...

With the 6.2L and "old" 6 speed we have been getting 10-12mpg with the camper and towing our 14ft enclosed cargo trailer (2 axle). Without a load it is 14-15mpg. Keep in mind that is with 37s and lots of off road gear. Our best stock was just shy of 20mpg. We are still not fully broken in...

Gas Super Duty trucks are 34 gallon. You only get the 48 gallon with the longest one... Crew Cab Long Bed.

Quit messing with those crappy tie down systems. Weld up some legit rock sliders and attach your camper to them (needs skilled welder familiar with high tensile steel frames). Resolves all the problems (including the extended cab door opening fully - you do need to change the camper mount...

So true. It's a tight shower no matter what your height. I've sat on the toilet and washed up (no height issues then). It is inside and worth the hassle for us. Alternatively, you can shower outside. Realistically, if you want a smaller lighter camper this is the trade off. We loved our...
