artic fox 811 on 2005 dodge ram 2500 diesel short bed??

D3500 has a good point. Not to freak you out but I do recall seeing a write up about the overhang on a short bed camper interfering with the hips on 4th gen mega dually because they are so wide so far back towards the rear of the bed. It is worth checking out imo. I don't recall the brand of camper.

You have nothing to say sorry about, I feel for you fine folks as I found my truck needed help as well after I bought my camper and hit the scales. I'm glad you have made the choice you feel is right for you, just reminded some that this has been trying on you and to not get you worked up over nothing. There are some very nice and helpful people on this site...and some very cranky and negative ones that will down any dream!

Your new ordered truck will work perfect for your camper and be a dream going down the road. Rest easy.

:). Sorry about the stress.

Yes...may be OK on dually. I think SRW with COG was the problem. A trip to the scales will confirm.

I'd love to see how a dually changes the COG. Please stop.

Their setup will work fine. Mine has the weight right on the rear axle. Just like any properly designed shortbed camper will. The cab configuration has nothing to do with it. It would act equally the same on the shorter wheelbase Ram with a quad cab.

There are a few of us on here who own megas and we have spoke many times on this subject. If you don't own one and don't know, stop "guessing". This poor lady is stressed out enough dealing with what she has in this thread to have someone who does not know jump in and give her false or misleading info on her setup.

So the switch near the sink is on --still no power. He already checked fuses. The issue the man was discussing about probs fitting the 2016 3500 drw is more than I can even take. Seeing we just sold truck today and have a 60k truck ordered trying to do the right thing. It shouldn't be this complicated! The only 6.4 box in a dodge 3500 drw is a megacab. So I guess I'm just going to have faith the camper dealer can make it work and fix this fan problem.

I almost die each time when I use mine. The horror....



:S

Bill- I do not think that TC's on MC's are a no-no, but I recall some folks here were less than pleased with that combo.

It is essentially a long wheel base truck using a short bed and infilling the leftover space with "cab." it really should be not much different from my set-up... I just don't have "cab" but have extra bed space in front of the camper.

So we still have the tie downs ( brand new ) from when they were put on the 2500. ( minus the underneath bracket that we decided to leave on old truck. So I'm wondering if they will work on new truck w just some new underneath brackets ?which I assume would need to be longer due to the Dually. Asked the dealer to find out about this for us but of course we have not heard back from him.

You should not necessarily need longer TL's but am not so sure now on the new Dodge beds because of the taper front an back of the wheel well opening. But are you sure the camper will fit on this truck bed?

Not intending to throw a curve ball at you but if you have not already done so you may want to read this thread about a camper having fit problems on a 2016 Dodge DRW:

Aren't the mega cabs a no/no with TC's?
