I do have the 4500 with the long wheel base. I do have me camper towards the front of the truck. I do have all of the storage boxex on a flatbed. The room is unbelievable. We never have all of the boxes full at the start of a trip. But by the end they are all full. Dirty clothes, pretty...

Thank you for the idea.

I will be on vacation in Key West the end of May. Will it be necessary to have on a wet suit to snorkel in the swallows. Since I have four people to buy for it could get expensive. But I do want everyone to enjoy the trip.

Report back from Nome Alaska. The Double Mackinaw did great. More then I expected. I was able to wear a fleece base layer with one wool sweater, a wind stopper travel vest and the Mackinaw jacket. The temperature only got down to 0 degree. Only one time when the winds got to 30MPH did I...

Blue Coyote; I am all for doing it yourself. I live by the motto that" I can do anything but lay carpet." But the blocks for the overload springs look like a major accident waiting to happen to someone else. The very nature of steel dictates that the expansion during hot and cold conditions...

I think that this is a great idea. I wish I would have thought of it before I put my Lance on the truck.

Why are the sides not the same height? It looks like the truck sides are even.

Al l of this is great information. As I will always be looking to upgrade clothing.

I will always have a daypack with extra layers. For just walking around and exploring. Would a set of the removable traction chain for your boots be advisable or useless?

Good idea with the loft. I have a down liner that I can use with it. One thing that came up last night at a meeting for this trip. The head organizer tells us that blue jeans and long sleeve shirts will be fine. The reasoning is that they will pick us up and drive us everywhere. So we will...

Well tonight I made a choice. I bought both the Oil cloth and the double mackinaw. As well as an Oilcloth for my wife also. I think that we can use the oil cloth more then the wool. but the mackinaw will be great on my trip to the Iditarod in Nome. Do you think the Mackinaw will be enough...

Get a motorhouse built the way that you want it. 4x4 is overrated for what you state that you are going to do with the camper.

I know that you will not be able to tell any difference in ride, noise and MPG with the installation of your Turbulent Flow eliminator. I have seen then on campers before. It makes the camper look tacky in my opinion. I would wait for Mythbusters to confirm or deny the validity of the T.F.E...

Heimbig. I do not think that you will come closes to the max GVW of your truck. My rigs is larger and I too carry a lot of stuff for a family of four. My worse scale weight was 16900. Why do you think that you need such heavy weight capacities. 20 inch wheels with ******** Cepek tire are what...

Like Wirenut said. You need a larger wire for charging. I used a#2 also. But I reversed the charge wire to the center post of the seven way and replaces it in the Backup light position I think. Now I have the larger wire all the way without the short piece of #8.

Great camper. It is ashame that more of that type of stuff is not made in the U.S.A.

I have thought about air bags, but I think that is just more to go bad. At this time I think the truck springs and overloads should work exactly as engineered to work. I might need something else down the road. I want to put a few thousand miles on the rig before I do anything to it.

I have tested out the truck. I put a pallet of 80# concrete in the bed 3200# plus my large trailer loaded with the tractor and all of the implements 18000#. The springs did not contact the overloads while resting. There was still 1inch difference between the front of the bed and the back of...

I wonder what kind of ride the low profile tire will give? Let us know.

Check the power feed from the truck. Start at the battery connection, then breaker, then male and female end of camper connecter. Then connection to the battery it self. Somewhere you have a loose connection. I found mine on the male side on the connecter.
