White Rim with long wheel base Outfitter camper?
I've got a F250 Crewcab shortbed with an Outfitter Apex 8. Total length is right about 22 feet. Anyone here had any experience out on White Rim with a truck this long? Thanks!

No problemo. Go, and have a great time. It would be good to go in caravan. There is comfort in numbers. For us hard-siders, height was the only defining issue in 2009: we had 4" of clearance under this overhang. Length was not a problem unless you have a leaf springs on front truck which will require a lot of double pumping on sharp turns. Luckily, the left side of what's left of my roof rack was long ago dragged to the ground by some passing tree branch.
The WRT is a must-do for hard core TC-er's.
In talking to Mello Mike, in part, this was my reply to him which might be important to you if you are thinking about doing the WRT:
"It is hard to predict the weather on the WRT. It all depends on how much precip the winter produced as to the level of runoff in the Green and Colo rivers. This stopped our (Alex and me) trip in Sept. 2009 and we had to turn around and go back over the whole trail. I've done the whole thing in a hot, dry June of 1970. The trick is to get in between the snow and mud of winter and the runoff and heat of spring and summer. With El Nino this year, who knows?
If I had to choose, I would go with the snow and mud and the latest date in March. You can survive a little mud, it's sand based, but not river water that's 6-8 feet deep moving 10 mph over the road.
