Re: Transport truck camper from NJ to Utah
I have used uship 3 times to move antique trucks, and have always had issues and will never use them again. I bought my truck camper from New Mexico, drove from Florida to pick it up, one of my favorite trips in all my years. The whole point of having truck campers is to have adventures, I vote for you going to pick it up, and let the great adventures begin.638Views0likes0CommentsRe: Air Tabs Installed
Not that heavy, truck has so much capacity it wouldnt make a difference, weight wise if I removed them. Helps make it even more stable when off the truck, kinda like outriggers, with blocks I have, I can also have them down when lifting off the truck, camper is real high when removing.550Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reality Check - Camper Weight
As I stated on your other thread, when I had my camper, the same as yours ,on my f250, it weighed in at 11750 loaded, full everything. I do have a 55 gallon fuel tank on the truck, which was full. I went with the vision wheels and bridgestone tires, I was very happy with the combo, but then a deal came I couldn't pass up on a Kodiak and I switched. Problem with the Kodiak is its great when loaded, but a bucking bronco when unloaded.I can't remember front vs rear weight, but it was what I expected, unlike yours.495Views0likes0CommentsRe: My new (to me) truck camper and my projects with pictures.
That's a great rig, I like a lot of what you've done,I have what appears to be the same camper, I originally put it on my 2005 f250 6.0. I took it on a cat scale, and if I am not mistaken it came in at 11,750 lbs. Might be good to know, especially if you plan on towing as well.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: Regular gasoline priced higher than diesel

Since diesel is a crude fuel, it amazes me that for the last 20 years or so, diesel has cost more than gasoline. It sounds like the public is getting ripped off again. Maybe where you are its been that way for that long , but everywhere i've been its only been less than 10 years of this, 8 or 9 at most. It still costs less than gas to produce, cost, supply and demand have nothing to do with cost at the pump anymore, its driven by speculators.359Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ripping mad

Didn't get an extra billion down here, someones pulling your leg , or using fox news math, again.355Views0likes0Comments
