I got a question on another thread that I thought I would turn into a fresh thread. There are, as best I can tell, only two camper dealers near me, Lance and Northwood (and neither are all that close...

I have the Arctic Fox 811 on Dodge 3/4 SRW
Love the camper.
Me my wife and dog spend about 5-6 months at a time in it gets a little small after awhile but no real complaints. Never any problems , tank size is nice since we rarely are in a campground
Floor plan works well for us.
As for the weight issue - just watch what you load in it we removed stuff we didn't need ( bunk , a cabinet door etc. ) we travel with only water we need for couple days it's easy to find , dump tanks every chance , one tank propane unless we need more.
After one trip empty camper and only reload what you actually used. It's amazing what you don't need. Example dishes - for 2 of us we only need paper plates a couple bows couple forks etc. )
I agree with ride issue on 3/4 verses 1 ton it's easy to let air out verses removing springs for a daily driver
3/4 truck is fine you will need air bags and good tires , if you are going to drive a lot of miles shocks are a nice improvement.
I get it at the gas pump all the time about how overloaded I am (I'm not ) by the dually guys they must give weight police badges out when you buy a dually.
