Ticki2, thanks so much! 67Avion is correct with his statement.
I was talking to a camping buddy of mine last night and he came up with what may be the simplest solution. He said to load the '72 on the trailer and carry it pick up the camper. The '72 will run and drive, I'm just not comfortable cruising it on the interstate for a couple of hours yet. That way I could just back it under the camper and load them both back up and come home.
That means I need one more measurement. How tall is the camper from the bed floor to the top of the roof? This unit is without A/C. The '72 is factory 4x4 and came with 9.00-15 tires which are 35" tall so it sits rather high to begin with. I don't want to run afoul of the 13'6" legal limit.
Also what is the best way to temporarily secure the camper to the truck or trailer? Will something like ratchet straps work or are they too inflexible? Does the tie down need to give some. Thanks again.
