Great points for sure. With a truck camper it is kind of a dedicated vehicle. This is great if you don't need your tow vehicle as a daily driver. It also seems like 90 % of truck campers are over the cargo capacity of the truck. Once camp is set up you can't drop trailer and leave camp.

I have been in situations that my rig barley made the turn and I could not have done it in a Tundra Crewmax and a 20 foot trailer. The best advice you gave is to be prepared to back out down step hills with switchbacks by practicing. I am always super stressed out about on coming traffic on...

Very good advice as usual. But if your TV and trailer are 5-10 feet longer how could that not effect your turning radius?

Yes absolutely. The Arkto is awesome and has much better departure angles then my Trailer Marker for sure. My trailer is a foot shorter then both Arkto and Boreas. So with your Tundra (@ least another 2 feet longer then my gx or Fox's 4runner) could be your biggest problem. Fox had some good...

Great information Fox!

This is a great question and others have given great advice. So what is your tow vehicle? That is the most important aspect. For instance I have Trail Marker trailer that is 3,800 - 4k max pounds loaded. The box is 80" wide plus tires and fenders that stick out to 8.5 feet wide. It is 9 2"...

So according to ChatGPT it is very unlikely that MDC has any ownership of the Chinese plant like they imply: "No, MDC (Market Direct Campers) does not own the Chinese manufacturing plants outright. Instead, MDC partners with third-party OEM manufacturers in China. These manufacturers produce...

Sawtooths are awesome. Have fun

Okay back to beating a dead horse but I was chatting with yet another person that was suprised MDC s were MFGerd in China. Not a deal killer but why do they continue to be vague? From MDC USA website: 100% AUSTRALIAN OWNED AND OPERATED "DMDC USA is proud to be 100% Australian-owned and...

Oh K9 you shouldn't have said that. Next trip that rear passenger jack is going to take a huge hit 😉

Great information. Yes I agree especially being in front of the wheel. When that wheel crawls over a rock or stump I am sure it helps from that step down hitting. If you ever start hitting your folding stab jacks you could just remove them and use the following. They are light and quick to set...

This is a great post on dealing with dogs. I believe the eos 12 and g 12 are pretty much the same interior dimensions. I think i agree that a side entry is better suited for my personal needs unless thier is any kind of step down or folding steps that take away ground clearance in that crucial...

Are you leaning towards the Boreas or the Arkto?

Arkto is awesome and if a gray tank and wet bath is not nessassary it is lighter and may have more storage. That said I would prefer a hardsided like the new Boreas but I have a 10 foot garage. If I had a 8 foot garage and didn't have a special needs daughter that needs a wet bath i would...

I am totally happy with my TM but liklely will look at other trailers when I receive my Scott Terra EV truck in a few years. As of right now this new Boreas eos12 hardside would be my choice hands down. The price is reasonable. The suspension is awesome. Its American made in the Rockies. It is...

Spencer i belive they are still working on the prototype. It will have the same roof down slope over bed area. About 6' 6" head room south of the downslope. Adam estimated 9 plus foot total height. I think this will be a big seller for them.

Adam that is awesome news and thanks for our chat today. I kind of been waiting for you to do this. Folks should know this will reduce cost not raise them.

The following website says " Closed business for Sale" did you not see this when you went to thier website? https://highaltitudetrailer.com/ I had a dealer in Colorado tell me they looked like a DIY build when he toured one of the smaller units. I saw some of the smaller non stand ups and just...
