What are my TC options for towing?

I have a 2015 F350 CC LB SRW. I am looking to purchase a TC that I can travel with my family (90%) and use a few times a year to stay in at the racetrack (10%).

I have a 24ft V-nose H+H enclosed trailer I tow my race car with. Loaded for the weekend, it comes in around ~8800lbs on the trailer axles.

I see that Lance offers the 850 specifically for this purpose. What else is out there? Up here (In Canada) the popular brand is Adventurer and most of them seem to have a large rear step that I *think* will interfere with my trailer.

Are there any qualifying measurements I can take of my truck when hooked to the trailer that will help me decide what camper models I should be looking at? I'm not interested in replacing the hitch or massive extensions.

I understand I will likely be over GVWR (11,500) but that's a topic for another day.

Thanks in advance for any help.
  • With 8 foot camper on 8 foot bed you just hook the trailer up like no camper.
    The only limit on SRW will be rear axle load.
    I'd start with taking truck & trailer to scale and weight the rear axle.
    That will give you an idea how much of TC you can add.
  • I cut my car trailer tongue, bought some similar c-channel, and lengthened/modified the tongue to fit under my camper. And I have an 11-footer. If I can make it work I’m sure you can with a shorter camper.
