Truck camper newb questions.
Hello,
My wife and i arr looking to downsize from our 32foot class c, we have experince with 3 motorehomes and two camping trailors over the years so are quite familiar with gvwr and gcvwr and payload capcity etc.
We have been told that for well built 4 season campers that can handle Wisconsin winter there are only few acceptable brands eagle cap/adventure, lance, arctic fox, we have been all over and only seem to like the feel of the arctic fox and lance, floorplans that we like are the af811 and af990 and lance 855s and the 950s it looks like the 950s is soon to be discontinued if we find on next spring should we be worried about parts or service on a discontinued model?
I know that all models are pretty heavy and we will be buying a ram3500drw or silverado 3500drw or f350drw, would the built in air bags in the new rams be sufficient for these heavy campers or should i continue with the firestone airbags that id get for the ford or chevy drw? . Also as you can tell the floor plans are for both a short bed and long bed model is there an advantage of one over the other besides the ability to get even bigger campers on the long bed?
Next i was told to use fastgun tie downs for the camper these seem a bit pricy are they that good? is there a similar one froma different brand thats still good for a lower price?
