We took our first overnight trip in the camper. We had a early Monday morning appointment to get a VIN assigned and decided to spend Sunday night at Belfair park (a state park on the Hood canal that is very close to the Tahuya ORV park).
The camper/truck is a lot easier to drive than I thought it would be and does not sway or rock really at all. The cabover design and rear camera make it very easy maneuver and I can almost fit it in a long single parking spot. This is pretty incredible for something of this size which can carry two 600 pound snowmobiles plus two 300 pound dual sport bikes and still be well under GVWR.
Fuel mileage wasn't great but was about as expected. You would think the sleek aerodynamic styling of the cabover would get us in the neighborhood of a Prius but alas it was quite a bit less than that. We got 9.5mpg with the camper and the two motorcycles on the flatbed. This is opposed to about 11 to 13mpg with just the empty flatbed. If I adjust these numbers using TC camper forum GAAP fuel reporting, we technically got 19mpg doing 65mph (woo hoo!)
I took a picture at night to see what the clearance lights and outdoor floods (only turned up to 25% power) looked like. All you can really see is the bright spots of the floods.
Next step is to get the aluminum storage boxes installed under the flatbed.
