I am looking to buy a 2003 Arctic Fox 860. It has a dry weight of 2984 but has a rear awning and air-conditioning and slide out.
I have a 2007 5.9 dodge ram 3500 Cummins diesel Larami that already has air bags and enhanced springs in the rear. Not sure about shocks.
my GVRW on door is 10,100. At weigh scale my truck weighed 7400 lbs.
Should this combination work? Any extra precautions I should take?
Thanks for advice,
Bazooka
10,100 pounds minus truck empty weight of 7400 pounds leaves about 2700 pounds for camper. Fully loaded camper is probably 500 pounds or more than the 2984. Sometimes dry weight does not include options. You will be over gross and likely will need some suspension stuff. Get the overloads to engage earlier and perhaps look at air bags, 19 inch wheels/tires with substantially more capacity.
