Thanks for the input. I'm a carpenter, so I'm picky about build quality. I don't expect to see dovetail joinery, but I won't tolerate shody workmanship or poor engineering. So far, what little feedback I have about the Maverick line, the responses are favorable. I've located an 8801 Maverick close by, so I reckon a walk through is in order.
I'm curious about a Lance unit being worth the premium prices they ask for them. I guess I should take a look at one, just so I know. If I'm willing to spend the dough for a Lance is a different issue.
Any other buying, inspection or truck advise is welcome. I'm reading a lot, but using the Search feature for "Palomio Maverick" has yielded little. I need to learn more about air bags vs. Timken helpers vs. Hellwig, etc. I thought airbags were the way to go, but now I'm wondering.
With TC's you get what you pay for.
Go look at several floor plans/brands BEFORE you purchase.
As far as suspension mods;
How much payload will you have available?
How heavy will your (locked/loaded) camper be?
Air bags are great because they are one of the only adjustable mods, and they level side2side.
But don't rush into suspension mods, after you get this all safely figured out (truck/camper)you should use it for a year and then decide if you need mods.
Good luck, B
