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' 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 a GMC2500HD with a WC850 and almost always have a 16' trailer with ATV's or our Wolverine SxS on it, so a similar setup as what you plan on doing.

1. How stable are SRW truck campers in the wind? Installing lower StableLoads gave me great stability. Use your factory suspension, no need for airbags or extra springs with the WC loaded weight on your F350.

2. How fast do you or can you drive with a TC? As fast as you feel comfortable. Your trailer tires are usually the weak link, but I don't know what you have for a trailer and tires.

A Wolf Creek is quite a bit lower as the floor is still between the wheel-wells. An Arctic Fox's floor sits over the wheel-wells. The roof is also lower, you can see the difference if you look at the cabover area from the exterior. You shouldn't have any issues with your F350 and a WC, but a heavier stabilizer bar seems to be a very popular Ford upgrade and as I said before, lower StableLoads will help a lot.
