My First Truck Camper...HELP!!!
Hey there, I just bought a Caribou (1998 I believe) camper for my young family. I have a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel extended cab long bed to haul it with. I am trying to figure out a few things to start of...

Whoo hoo! We got our camper, and it is awesome! I have a few questions:
-When I drive it (this is my first camper) it seems the overhead part shifts around a bit, I would have guessed it would be tight and not sway much at all.
What you see is normal; it is caused by the flexing of the truck's frame.
-The heater fan doesn't work, any ideas where to start getting that fixed?
A lot of the early TC and TT heaters don't have a heater fan.
-None of the plugs work when it is just run on the battery, is that normal?
The 120VAC outlets don't run on the battery
-Should I run the fridge on propane if I am not plugged in electrically?
Yes.
-Should I drain my water tank each time I use it, or will it last a while in there?
If you filled it with "city water" it should be OK for a couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance, your help has been invaluable so far!!
