I have State farm and had it added to my policy in OVRLND's parking lot while they were installing my camper. I was insured for $3.30 a month before we even drove off the lot!
I'll post my current build iteration soon, it's going slow as we find what we like and don't like.

That's a great price. What did you tell them to add to your policy and how does it look on your actual statement?

Guys! Quick question about tire rating and the weight of these builds. For a truck like a 1st gen Tundra, 350lb camper with a few hundred pounds of gear and build... Would you recommend I stick with e-load 10 ply tires or try out some 6 ply c-load tires? I currently run 255/80/17 E loads and they've been great, but I'm looking at 255/75/17 c loads in the same exact tire that are lighter. They're a half an inch shorter, 32.5, which I'm fine with. Trying to lose a little bit of weight, height, and rotational mass. Not too worried about sidewall punctures...

How many of you are running? C- load, e-load, passenger rated tires? What size truck do you have? The first gen Tundra is considered a full size truck, but it's about the size of most modern-day midsize trucks.

My C rated Falken AT3Ws have handled my Gladiator Rubicon's weight and camping load out fine, and that's over some good rocks/trips etc. I have about 35K miles on them with the camper. For a mid-size the Gladiators are fairly heavy for a mid-size (5K-5.4K lbs). Usually where I feel the difference is cornering, not horrible, but the stiffer E tires rail a bit better. I appreciate the Cs more off-road though, much better compliance on rocks and deform better at low pressures for snow.

Cs may reduce weight, but if you were willing to switch tires another brand/model can be lighter in an E, depending on what you have now. KO2s or Cooper AT3s Es are lighter than my C rated Falkens.

I like E's to avoid squatty potty and sidewall blowout.

I used carpet squares and 3M spray adhesive over rigid foam as well. They have held up fine in high temps
(and very cold temps) and I have several things Velcroed to them as you can see in the photo.

@KellyM It looks like you have a Truma furnace mounted on the wall there... Any more pics of how you have that mounted? Did you install it yourself? Or was it done by an installer?

Here are a few photos of the furnace. It is mounted to the framing. A friend of my did the install. He is an authorized dealer for Truma. Check out AT Overland toppers for similar Truma installs. The Varioheat furnace works well by the way. I slept in 12F and was comfortable.

And here is one of the outside.

And a couple of my interior redo. I'll do a full build-out post when I can free up some time.

Is that 8020? What series/model number? I was trying to find on that’s smooth on just one side.

I'll have to dig it up. It was from a place in Salt Lake.

Thanks for the pics, appreciate it! Looks like a great spot to mount it. Is your buddy the Truma dealer willing to do other installs?

I'll ask him.

EX-1010-C – 1″ x 1″ 180° Smooth T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion | TNUTZ

These extrusions are 100% compatible with the following manufacturers: 80/20 #1004 T-SLOTS #650062 McMaster #47065T848

They have other versions too. TNutz is great and cheaper than the 8020 website. Exactly the same extrusions

Edit: my tire of choice is the Toyo open country at3. They've never left me stranded and have plenty of good sizes in the more narrow range.

I have the Toyo OC AT3 as well in a C rating, good tires so far. I think an E rated tire is a bit overkill on these lighter camper setups for how much harsher they ride and the MPG penalty. My rig weighs about 5100-5300 lbs depending on what I'm doing. 1st gen Taco
