Arctic Fox 990 on SRW in the Snow?

My last pickup camper was a 2015 Arctic Fox 992. I would say build quality of the Arctic Fox and the Wolf Creek are the same. After buying this 2019 Wolf Creek camper it was like stepping back into the Arctic Fox camper again. They appear to be identical to me.

Really good to hear, thank you! It's a bummer that I can't get a generator with that model and a long box. And here I was thinking that a long box was going to give me more versatility.

Did you run your 992 on your SRW? At this point, I think I'm just curious--not really looking to justify a decision.

As someone who has learned real fast about truck campers and advertised weights, take them with a grain of salt. Case in point, my 2012 Ascent S85R 8' 11" short bed camper has a advertised dry weight of 3000 lbs dry, and 3565 wet. Actual weight of the camper with built in 2500 Onan generator, awnings, air conditioning, 60 lbs of propane and no water is 4180 lbs. The fully wet weight with 56 gallons of water, gear, groceries and cloths, is a portly 5100 lbs. Even subtracting the 60 lbs of propane and 120 lbs for the two batteries in the camper the dry weight is still 4000 lbs a full 1000 lbs over the listed dry weight! Is every camper going to be this far off? NO! Even so, do your homework before buying any camper. We love our camper, but it belongs on a short bed dually truck PERIOD! Likewise, an Artic Fox 990 will physically sit on a long bed SRW truck, it belongs on a dually though.

Just to reiterate... I have a really solid idea about the weight based on reading a lot of posts here on this forum. I know the absolute minimum weight of the 990 is every bit of 3600lbs with zero options. That's enough to put me over my tire/loading sticker before adding any humans, gear, or provisions. C'est la vie. I think I've moved on from the 990, even though people do it and live to tell the tale.
