Just ordered a Wolf Creek 840

Hello all new to the forum here, well i finally pulled the trigger and traded in our 28ft TT and ordered a 2015 Wolf Creek 840. Very excited and can't wait till May when its supposed to be done. My reasons for going with a TC was to take our boat on more trips and adventures, and the fact my kids have grown and don't travel with us much anymore. I found this forum very useful in making my decisions on what options i wanted and i'm sure i'll have many questions to come.
  • Sounds fun. Now I'm considering going the other way, lol. I'll be interested in some comparisons after you start using the TC.
  • Congratulations on your purchase of the Wolf Creek 840. Just like you did, I've read a lot of reviews and have seen a lot of the videos and it looks to be a very nice camper to own. I know you will enjoy your new camper when it finally arrives.

    Badge366,
    Where did you order your Wolf Creek from? I would like to see one. I live in S/E Michigan and currently own an Arctic Fox 811, which has been an excellent TC.


    I ordered it through American RV in Grand Rapids unseen, cause there are none to be found anywhere here in Michigan. I have read many reviews and watched every video i could find on Youtube. The first time i step foot in one will be my own.

    The truck has a 7 pin flatblade trailer connector mounted in the bed from what i read that should work with the TC cause the dealer will make up a cord to connect the camper to the truck?


    Yes, the dealer will make up a cord. A pigtail/connector that plugs in to the camper will come with the camper from the Northwood factory, and the dealer will install a connector on it to match whatever is in your truck bed.

    Odd though, I've never heard of a 7 pin flat used for RVs or trailers.


    Sorry I guess i wrote that wrong, 7 pole connector, same connector thats on the rear bumper

  • Congratulations on your purchase. The ability to tow a boat or our small, really small, horse trailer was the major reason we went TC. We also have a drop down gooseneck ball in the truck and it hasn't been a problem. Spray in liner too. No mat as our old dually, 2004, doesn't have really tall bed rails and camper clears well and hasn't moved around at all. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
  • Thanks Morsnow yes been looking at torklift tie downs and fast guns. I just purchased my 2012 Silverado in the fall, I'm getting a LineX bed liner sprayed in this week. My truck is set up for a fifth wheel with a flush mount B&W gooseneck hitch hopefully that won't be a problem with the TC. I also purchased a Rubber mat to put in the bed.

    Congratulations! You'll have plenty of time preparing your truck with tie downs, power, suspension, etc. I love my Wolf Creek, I hope yours treats you as well as mine has!
