NL owners and others, will it fit?

I've found a replacement camper for the destroyed Lance. It is a 2004 Northern Lite 10-2000. I have a 2006 2500 Dodge Ram long bed quad cab. Will it fit in the truck bed?
  • I think the only possible issue would be your having to raise the TC about 1-1/2" so the back doors will clear the TC overhang. The TC your considering may not have that problem.

    I have a 2004 3500 Dodge Ram long bed quad cab with a 1988 Bigfoot. My Bigfoot has no basement. I use two layers of 3/4" Horse Stall Mat. One was not enough. On flat ground no problem, on a curb the top of the door would not clear. This photo is with the two layers of 3/4" Horse Stall Mats.

  • I believe so as the DRW bed didn't change until 2013. That change only re-enforced the rear of the bed rail by angling it slightly, about 1" in on each side. This can would be the only dimension that you need to double check. My father's 1999 Bigfoot still cleared though even with it's wider area behind the wheel wells. The only other possible issue could be the bed rail height if yours is new enough to have the plastic cap, but again, something I don't think they did until 2013. This one is easy to fix with a 3/4" platform under the camper.
  • Don't see why it wouldn't. It's a long bed. I have a 2003 10-2 NL and a 2016 long bed Chevy. It fits although a little tight.
