2014 Arctic Fox 811 long box? Short box?

What are everyone's thoughts on the Lance 850,950s,1050s??

Arctic Fox should be ashamed of themselves building an 8' camper that weighs that much.

With every camper I have looked at the center of gravity is over the rear axle and the location is different in terms of distance from the front of the box for campers designed for long and short bed trucks.

I would be cautious in looking at campers that have a dry weight of 3400 lbs. or more as when fully loaded for a trip you are going to be over the load rating for your two rear tires unless you put out the $3500 for a set of 19.5 rims and tires.
Many lighter campers are available for long and short bed trucks and all you give up is a dry bath.

Depends on which version you get. They make most of them in a short bed version, but there's also a long bed version too.

Long bed version will fit on long or short bed truck, but short will ONLY fit a short bed truck.

And like Bedlam says, they are HEAVY campers.

The long bed version loses the option for generator and additional storage in the wings. The specifications are otherwise the same between the configurations. Using this model on a long bed while towing may negate the need for hitch extensions and the more expensive hitches that can handle those extensions.

When two of us with two dogs are loaded and ready to camp without a trailer, we have 4000 lbs on the truck. Your weight will vary with the options you choose, what you pack and who you bring with you. My options are listed in my profile.

Long or short bed. Here's a link.
