Yet, they show a TC on a SRW on the landing page for their website. ;)https://northwoodmfg.com/truck-campers/arctic-fox-camper/
that is an 865. its 500 lbs lighter than the 990.
*Arctic Fox 865: dry weight, 3,236 pounds + 34 gallons fresh, 283.5 pounds + 6 gallon full hot water heater, 50 pounds + 2x 30-pound full propane tanks, 54 pounds + 2 batteries, 130 pounds + stuff, 500 pounds = 4,253.5 pounds
It’s the only TC on a truck. Over half of every Arctic Fox I see in the NW is on a SRW with the exception of the 11 1/2 foot models. Someone is talking them into it. ;) … not me.
Btw, I’d argue 500 lbs is insignificant on 4K plus lbs. You could carry less water, one tank instead of two, one battery instead of two, and less stuff in the 990. You don’t mention options, but that’s another way to lose weight. You could also add a few people, or tow something, and go the other way.
