Wolf Creek on a F350
I have a 17 F350 SRW with the camper package on order. I am looking at the WC 840 or 850 mainly due to its lighter weight and shorter height. I will be pulling a Polaris Ranger behind it on a 12' trai...

1. The WC's are not low profile campers. They are just as tall as the Arctic Fox, Adventurer or Lance which also have basements.
2. Upper and lower StableLoads with your tires inflated to 80 PSI should be all that you need to keep the truck from rocking with the lighter campers since you already have the OEM stabilizer bar.
3. You will be pushing a brick through the wind and the faster you drive, the worse your mileage. You may find slowing down will actually save you time because you are not stopping so often for fuel.
4. Your trailer is relatively light and will most likely not have brakes. Remember that your truck will be loaded with 3000 lbs of camper and gear plus 2000 lbs of trailer. At speed you will need much more brake to slow down than you may be used to and it will increase your stopping distance.
5. I hope you plan to run some higher speed tires on your trailer. Typical ST tires do not like hot weather at sustained high speeds (over 65 mph) and will let you know with a bang.
Thanks for the responses. The WC is a low profile as compared to the AF or others. WC is 7'7", AF is 8'6", Lance is 8'9". That one foot height difference should help with wind resistance and stability.
The tires are ST but will be replaced with better tires in the future. Right now I run that at max psi and with the light load on them are fine so far
