'18 - '19 Northern Lite 8-11 Cab/Bed Clearance w/Ram 3500
Close to purchasing a new '19 NL 8-11. Will we have any cab or bedrail clearance issues using only a 3/4" horse mat (48" x 76") in the bed of a '16 Ram 3500 CC SB SRW? Thanks!

Called Northern Lite with a few questions about the 8-11:
1. Yes, the Dee Zee 3/8" thick bed mat is suitable for use with a NL TC's.
2. The 8-11 will hold two of the larger, group 27 batteries.
3. NL uses Progressive Dyanamics converters in their TC's. Good news for those of us that prefer a faster 14.4 volt bulk charge rate.
4. The 8-11's FW tank is located left to right in the front half of the camper. That's more good news. Adding water to the FW tank will move the COG farther forward, away from the rear axle.
Lastly, the rep at NL said the latest gen Ford F250/350 trucks would be his first choice for hauling a NL. Chevy second. As for Ram, he made it clear they would be his last choice---primarily due to handling issues with the Ram 2500---especially the Mega Cab.
