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' trailer
My questions are:
How stable are SRW truck campers in the wind? Across west TX and Colorado the winds can be pretty strong.
How fast do you or can you drive with a TC?
Just pulling the Ranger I will drive 5 over the speed limit which means 80 mph at some spots.
If I drive the entire 700 miles at 60mph it would take about 12 hours. If I drive it at 70 mph it will take 10 hours. That is a big difference.
Thanks
I have driven my lifted SRW F-250 with my Wolf Creek 850 across the country in pretty much every imaginable weather condition (wind, rain, snow, etc.) and never had any problem with handling. I have airbags and a Big Wig sway bar, but no Stable Loads or any other suspension mods. I have no trouble maintaining 80MPH with my V-10 and 4.30 gears, but it definitely sucks the gas at that speed. Most of the time, I keep it around 70 when I'm not towing or 55-60 when I am.
