Question : Tail gate

[airspro]

2000 Ford F 350 2 wheel drive club cab with 6' 7.5" box .

2001 Lance 815 Lite 8'6" .

Do I load this with the tail gate down or off the truck ? Plus would 2" of styrofoam on the bed be good to give me more side wall room ?

New to me truck and camper . Truck in shop getting serviced to be safe to haul this ( front ball joints , etc ) not got the camper home yet .

Torklft tie downs and fast guns bought but not installed yet .

Thanks
Wayne

airspro,

The skirts look great! The snow looks fun too - but that's coming a desert rat that doesn't get to see much of the stuff.

Good luck with your new toy!

You'll find that the Lance 815 is a tuff built TC, I know since I've put mine through a lot of rough back roads and survived a flood. Mine is a 2002 Lance 815 so that's 13 years of rocking and rolling and still in one piece.

Wow! that looks really great and the storage will be priceless. Well worth the expense.

Nice set up. We have a 2001 815 as well and it has been really great camper for us. You will like those pods as they will hold quite a lot of stuff.

Looks really nice, I know you are proud, as you should be.

Did you get the skirts installed on the camper?

Nice bike and the truck and camper look great too!

Way back in the day I had a 2001 Triumph Sprint ST. British Racing Green, hard bags ... the missus and I would travel that way lots of weekends together for years.

With kids we traded the motorcycle lifestyle for campers. I'm glad we made the switch but someday I'm going to get a set of (two) wheels again!

Congratulations! What a great looking set-up! Also, it's neat seeing the rear skirts sitting there on your couch. I heard of them being available and always wondered what they looked like detatched from the camper.

Happy New Year. May 2015 be a fun year of travel and adventure.

Thanks TriGuy :
Well they found some costly electrics that are suppose to be the problem with Cruise control ( ouch ) here Monday I think .

Mud flaps , Fast Gun locks , and the front hitch ( oh that's heavy ) just came .
