I appreciate the input about the trucks, I always assumed I would need a big, big truck, Stablelift (I did call them) said they would recommend leaving the jacks on along with the stablelift to manage the heavy weight.
However, I would also like come opinions about the campers themselves. What experience do people have with Host versus Eagle cap.
Also only tangentially related. I was looking at some slightly older campers (2015) and noted that the NADA prices seem to run about $10,000 (an even 15,000) over what the dealers seem to be asking (and those weren't the NADA lowball prices. Is that an accurate picture of the mark up on these things?
Thanks again for everyone's help.
1. Thinking more about the Stable Lift: Can you even use it with a DRW setup? It doesn't swing out like front jacks and would clear a flatbed or rear wheel well lips.
2. The value of a camper is what the buyer is willing to spend. Even if the dealers are advertising a used camper at some price, they have wiggle room to make a sale. New prices on truck campers seem to be around 80% of MSRP. I found NADA and KBB to be a rough guideline as well as ads in CraigsList and RVTrader. The two latter are asking prices, so you should be able to deal 10-20% bellow posted.
