Although not a done deal it's looking promising.
I originally was seeing myself becoming a full timer but not yet anyway.
Hence the package I'm close to closing is a 2010 AF 811 on a 2004 Ram 2500 HD gas hemi. 59 K miles on it
I know this is a heavy camper.
Seller says he's put a lot of suspension work in.
1 ton dually spring pack with overloads on as well as having two of the original leaves reshapped and inserted.
Goodyear air bags. Rancho 9000 adjustable ride shocks.
Rear anti sway bar
HD steering stabilizer
New front U-joints
New ball joint ends
New discs brakes




He has changed the truck into a one ton and added all the right things
for a 2004 Ram..Good luck

Should know tonight
Again thanks for all the advice and welcome any opinions pro or con

So I passsed on this deal even though I really liked the camper.
It was just too squirley for me when I drove it.
I have no experience in driving a truck with a camper and maybe I would have gotten use to it but it felt light in the front to me and would get a good sway going on a pretty good straight hiway if you weren't being real careful.
My gut told me the cg was too far back and in spite of all the seller has done to improve handling it wasn't a good match. I just think it was too much camper for that truck.
Nice guy and he took a lot of time with me but I need to see what a different set up feels like.
