New Camper Hauler for my camper

Mine with a full tank of fuel weighed 8460. That was without me in it.

Jim,

I'm surprised that mine weighs less than yours, of course you probably had the rubber bed mat in and the tie downs installed. This is weighed with the tailgate on and nothing in the truck and no Torklift items yet. They are on order.

*2 Please post empty and loaded weights when you can. Curious how much of the 14k GVW gets used up by the trucks getting heavier every year.

I responded to your PM. I was just down in your area today. I went to the Pilot station in Tontitown today to get the truck weighed.

How much did yours weigh? Mine weighed 8,550 lbs. With the Lance 1050S it weighed 12,640 lbs.

Its very close but I have about 3/4 inch on both sides.

Good for you!

Beautiful truck!

Some have had less than 1/2" jack clearance on each side with those new Dodge duallies. Id really watch that closely.

Very nice Dodge Hauler, like the color also. Did mud flaps come from the manufacturer, or after market, nice. Now the fun, putting on the goodies.

The mud flaps were installed by the dealership. It has there name on it so they get some free advertising.

Be aware that you might need extensions on your front swing out jack brackets.

I already have swing outs on my jacks but I hoping they are wide enough to get the wide hips through. I never even thought of the flares as I just thought they all had them. All of them at this dealership had them on them. I'm trying to figure out what option put those on it??? The NL sets their jacks in a little more than other brands. It is a 98" camper but with the set in on the jacks I'll have to be really careful. I might have to add a little more width to them, I really don't want to do that so I'm just going to have to play it by ear when I'm ready to load it.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I really like it and boy well that thing take off and fly. I have been taking it a little easy on it and then I got home and read the owners manual on it and told me to get on it and not baby it. So today I jumped on it getting on the freeway and was speeding before I got all the way up the on ramp. I had to back off it to merge into traffic in a 70 MPH zone.:B

Congratulations!
I noticed that you have fender flares on the dually fenders. You will be about 101 1/2" wide at the fender flares. Be aware that you might need extensions on your front swing out jack brackets. I did.
