We are trading in our Pastime 840LT camper which has the same dry weight as our new Wolf Creek 840 dry weight. We have a 2014 F150 supercab and have the RideRite bags. We only owned/used the Pastime for one season and went across country with it and everything went fine but with that being said, we are new to TC'ing. Are we making a mistake by putting this type of camper on an F150 with the airbags? We are also upgrading our tires now to Michelin Defender for superduty XL as these will substantially help w the tire concerns. Neither of us would like a larger truck and we have been told by many that this new, 2016 Wolf Creek 840 SB is the camper for us! Any thoughts? We do not want the generator or microwave or air conditioner but did opt for the 150 Watt roof mounted solar panel all in hopes of keeping the weight down. It is only us two and a microscopic dog!
Too much for an F150. I was loaded up with water, food and stuff...pulling my 4k trailer and was 8200 on my rear axle. Which is why I now have 19.5 wheels and tires. No way is it light enough for a half ton truck. The listed dry weight is off...and I do not have a genset, ac or even solar....buy a bigger truck.
