I have a feeling that this is a wing of another company that is already in business. They seem to have a lot of capital to invest in shop space. Reminds me of Scout/Adventurer campers. I'd like to know where they gained their experience if they have any. I don't trust upstarts with no industry...

I have an 11' 3" Lance 990 camper that is nice and luxurious with all of the creature comforts but is severely limited in where I can go with it. I have 2007 F350 4x4 DRW Extended Cab pickup with the V10 and it hauls it well. Personally, the camper is too big for what I want to do but the DW has...

I know the struggle over duals. I have a DRW truck and I regularly consider switching to SRW but I always come back to listening to the overland experts who say just keep them. The rare time you get a rock stuck between them (never has happened to me) makes it worthwhile to have the extra weight...

Keep your duals. Read this: Dually for Overland Vehicle

I was just thinking to myself today that there just aren't enough YouTubers peddling their channels here on EP.

You are going to be way over the payload of that Power Wagon after you add gear and you will hate driving it due to handling. If you are going to carry a camper you should consider something with more payload or get a pop-up truck camper. That truck isn’t designed to carry a lot of weight. I run...

It doesn't. I have an 8 gauge wire run from my alternator/battery to the camper to power the fridge which uses 18A on 12VDC. I have another separate circuit of 4 gauge wire that is used to charge the battery so I will use that circuit to power the tank heaters. Most 7-way plugs are only 12...

Some people just drain their fresh water tanks and simply blow the lines out with compressed air. Be careful with the pressure because you might create some leaks if you go too high. Personally, I have tank heaters F/G/B and that has worked so far. Each one draws about 5A (15A total) so you need...

That is what I suspected. Do you think it would have been different (other than the tracking issues) in an unloaded dually? Due to lower ground pressure I could probably air down quite a bit unloaded without any rubbing. I really wish someone made a 17" 8x200 single wheel with zero offset that...

Jeff, That is awesome! I have the V10 (which it replaced) but I miss driving a V8. I was very interested in the Tremor package but it only comes in the crew cab version (boo!). The V10 is a solid motor and will probably outlive me. Fuel mileage is not great with the V10 and 4.30 gears but it...

Exactly. My DRW truck with just a topper on the bed will go anywhere it can fit and is just as capable with out a big truck camper on the bed as any other truck. I suspect the problem with the flat tire was with not airing down. Having 80 PSI in a tire to support a 5,000 lbs camper leaves very...

If you weigh those DRW trucks and the SRW trucks with hard side campers, you will likely find that they weigh nearly the same. The DRW truck owners just know that they are more stable than SRW trucks with the same load. Besides, there are few electric winches capable of pulling a 12,400 lbs...

That's nonsense. There are exactly 8 nuts on DRW and a SRW. It takes no more time to change an inner dual or an outer dual than it takes to change a SRW.

Oh yeah, because only dually trucks get flats. Why would a dually be more prone to flats than a SRW? It doesn't make sense.

Why are no DRW allowed on the 4x4 trip? Seems strange to me.

What size are you looking for and what have you got?

This is more of a truck topper but it seems to be the best of both worlds. It is this or a Project M by FWC for me in the future. Hard sides are just too top heavy and tall for my uses. I have a Lance 990 hard side but I can’t go where I want to go with it. They weigh more, too. My camper is...

Maybe just get a diesel pusher and flat tow your Jeep?

I'm with Russ. Putting the camper COG behind your rear axle will unload your front axle leading to an unsafe condition with braking, steering and handling. That is the reason camper manufacturers list their COG. I would definitely re-think your whole set up. Maybe get a bigger trailer and haul...

I own a Lance 990 and haul it with a '07 F350 DRW and I really like the floor plan of 1040. The front face-to-face dinette is the right way to layout a camper, in my mind. So, I am basically building out my truck cap for camping and trying to downsize from my 990. The camper weighs 3,800 lbs wet...
