Thanks for the sage advice Bill. Sounds like just being attentive to the normal things and make sure I have a flashlight for the harder to get to places.
I've run with a dually since 1991 but according to my manufacture spec's the 117 would far exceed the posted load rate, it's the reason I'm considering the total package. I'm also a bit concerned about balancing the load. Not having any experience with carrying a camper with a slide, it seems like it could ride a bit lop sided.
The camper is loaded on the truck now so I guess we'll see how it all preforms when we take it out this next weekend. I'll take a number of photos while we're checking it out and be happy to post pic's after if anyone's interested.
Happy trails,
Dave.
Consider yourself lucky to have the opportunity to test drive the pkg before purchase.
Any mods to the truck suspension? Be sure they are dialed in properly before you make your assesment (air bags, bumps stops, etc...)
Let us know if you have any questions on this.
Proceed slowly...but sounds like you got a good one on the hook!
