Thinking of upgrading to a bigfoot. Too big?
I have a 1989 Lance squire 8.6ft camper that I carry on my 2001 ram 3500 DRW. I take this camper on quite a few forest service roads and lots of blm land. So far I have not had any problems getting st...

How much more rocking do you think I would expect compared to my camper?
Rocking is the result of camper COG and truck suspension.
For some time I had basement TC on 4WD and flatbed. That set come over 13' tall. Rocking wasn't that bad, but I could not stand the vision of having tire blow.
Coming to 4-seasons, I think any camper can be used in 4-seasons with adequate supply of propane and electricity.
I read the pop-ups topic, where owners used them in sub-freezing temperatures.
I, on other hand used my campers in 125F weather.
When AC working 24hr a day kept the camper semi-comfortable in the center, opening any cabinet on sunny side was like opening an oven.
I mostly dry camp out in national forests and blm land so electricity is not an option, I do not want to camp with a genny running. I am fine with my propane heater (furnace has been removed from my camper) but I am worried about freezing my black and grey tanks. My black tank touches the metal of the truck bed and has no insulation. I want to be able to shower and use the toilet in the cold and I thought a 4 season camper was my only option.
Do you think I could get away with using anti-freeze in my waste tanks and visit say Yosemite during winter (teens at night and above freezing during the day)?
