New camper

I'm surprised you have a SRW for that camper at around 5000lbs. But then again you ran a 992 on the same truck so hopefully you will be happy with the combination..the 19.5 wheels will help greatly with that load. Please send pics of your setup when you get it. We're all excited for you...

The Cascade is the new unit I am very interested in. Really like the layout. Post pics please.

You should be ok with the weather, but know that it is already snowing in the mountains here in Oregon. Be prepared!!

Took that trip from Louisiana to Oregon this pass June. Great trip

Thanks for the comments. Will do our best to posts pics and describe our experience. Mr Phelps it's good to see some fellow southerners on here. I think the love of these Tc is growing in our part of the country. The plan at this time is to tour the plant and pick the camper up at the dealer near Potland. (Happy Valley) . For those of you that have a host, Randall is trying to talk us into adding the upgraded escape hatch. I have not seen one and its quite expensive. I was just going with the standard size. Is the upgrade worth it? Just a few of our mods include. Leather dinnette and recliners, solar panel, simulated fireplace heater comb, thetford 3 burner cooktop, Oman generator (had one in the AF),one tv, and all the standard stuff. Hope to see y'all on the road. Eddie

Congrats, please post pics.........also interested in the recliners, etc. Your going to love your Host.

Congrats on this new camper!! I think many on this forum will be very interested in a report after receipt of your new Cascade. It is a very interesting floor plan. I too think the weight is close to the my current camper and will be interested in an assessment of how well your vehicle handles it.

You are also the first person I've seen on this forum that has purchased one. Please give us a any feedback about the direct pickup experience from the factory as well as any comments on the performance of the new camper.

Have a great trip

Congratulations. I'm sure it's hard to wait knowing it'll be done soon. That road trip would be a lot of fun. That's one of my favorite campers. No other truck camper out there like that one.
Be sure to post some pictures for us all to drool over when you pick it up.

Handy hubby , as far as I can determine there isn't much difference in the weight of the Artic fox 992 and Cascade. On your uggestion of sway bars I have the helwig on the back ( I had it for the 992 and it made a significant difference) also have Hevey duty camper Timbrens, blisten schocks, lower stable loads. The new thing I'm adding is the 19.5 wheels to replace the stock 18. I will then go with the g rated commercial tires. Remember this camper is over a foot shorter and one less slide than the mammoth. I estimate loaded weight around 5000 pounds maybe a little less. That comes right at where I was before. Again all this is estimate. I have talked to Randall at hosts about my set up and the dealer they both believe I'm okay with my set up. I hope we're right

That’s an interesting floor plan. I definitely like the recliners. That camper is pretty heavy so not sure how it will handle on a SRW but I would suggest changing out the anti-sway bars on both the front and rear if you haven’t already. Made a big difference on our F350. Good luck and enjoy the trip.
