Finally Showed up

[markowwes]

So she finally showed up, ordered it back in March, was built on June 17, took about a Month and a half to get to my dealership. Anyway it took me about a week to get it ready to haul, this included: rebuild the camper hold-down as they changed the frame behind the cab, modify the hitch as they changed the spring hangers at the back and mount/wire in the service body, Other than that it went quite well. Made a trip to a lake for the long weekend all systems run great. I thought I might not need the Firestone Ride Rites I had on the 2008 but she still squats a little too much with just the camper. Going to mount the winch now and wire in the up-fitter switches, that’s going to be a project!
Wife wants to go to the Kalispell area for Sept long, I should be ready. Anyone know of a nice camp ground around there?

Don't have tie downs on the rear, have hauled it like this since 2008 on a 2008 with this service body, never had any trouble with it moving around but i am trying to figure a way to do it now that i am going into the States. Never have carried a spare but i am sure one would fit into the front bin (uses too much valuable real-estate).

Sorry about the picture size will remember that in the future

Very nice. It looks like a lot of thought and planning went into getting it just the way you wanted it. Enjoy!

Very cute front tires 😉

... nice set-up... I am jealous.

Looks like a tight fit to change a tire with those wheel wells. The front, in comparison, makes the tire look tiny.

That's a heck of a rear bumper if the camper is mostly on the truck. How much does that add to the weight?

How much weight on the front axle, loaded and unloaded? It looks like the front is unweighted with the camper on is why I ask. Judging from the running board though, looks level.

I wish it was mine!

Had been to Kalispell area on business years ago and it made it to my bucket list for TC.
