Arctic Fox 990 on SRW in the Snow?
Hi All, New member here, excited to be joining your ranks. Less exciting is the prospect of wrecking my new truck and TC. I have the truck (2017 F-350, CC, SRW, 6.7l, FX4), but not the TC. Re...

You are going to be over weight. Period.
Your first step is to weight your truck with a full tank and you, but with the tail gate removed (my guess 7500#). Get the weights separately for both the front and rear axel.
The loaded 990 will be at least 4500 pounds. I agree with the other poster who said you will be 500 pounds over weight. I think it will be a bit more than that. Possibly 1000 pounds.
Other folks on this forum are more informed on current camper specs.
Just start a new post that includes for truck weights and go from there.
(FYI --- We had a F350 CC LB 4x4 with the 6.8 gasser that is lighter than your diesel. We had a 1996 Alpenlite that is lighter than a 990. We weighed 11,400 with my wife and I and two small dogs).
I hear ya. And if it looks like we'll weigh anywhere close to that, I don't plan to intentionally travel overloaded.
Keep in mind though, we won't be camping like most folks. We'll be 2 hours from home for one night at a time. No AC unit, no awnings, 5 gallons of water, 1 can of LPG. We could probably even get away carrying one extra battery instead of the generator.
All this having been said, I am leaning slightly toward a northern lite sportsman at this point, because it wouldn't require any special workarounds, not to mention its suitability for the winter conditions.
