Will probably seal it and keep on camping.New roof price????What would be a fair price on replacing the roof of my 2001 Alpenlite 1150 Santa FE. No decking needs repairing just a new roof. It currently has a rubber roof. The shop wants to replace it with a Britex TPO roof that comes with a 12 year warranty. They would also replace the vents and antenna. Quote was $2,200.Another ? from a newbie.I have a Texas Ranch Hand rear bumper. Could I weld on or drill an eye hook on the end of my bumper to secure the back of a TC?Re: Newbie needs help.Ya'll no how to hurt a rednecks feelings. Telling me my truck ain't big enough hurts worse than talking about my Mother. Chime in with camper options in the 3,200 +/- range. I like the Northwood AF 811, but there is not a used one in the southeast. Want one that stops closer to the end of my LWB truck, so it will be easier and less expensive to tow. Open Roads in Acworth Ga will give you a great deal on 2007 AF Silver Fox Edition with all options including solar. They just listed it on craiglist for 15,500 since I had to back out cause it is to heavy for my truck.Re: Newbie needs help.Thks everybody. I have gleamed more solid info on here in a few hours than I have in a month of lurking on the internet. Sure glad that I did not throw a ratchet strap around that Artic Fox 860 and bring it home last Saturday.Re: Newbie needs help.Back to the original question? What is the heaviest truck camper I can haul without further modifying my truck with G rated tires , Sway bar , air bags etc.Re: Newbie needs help.It's a single rear wheel. Heading to a scale now and will post more info.Newbie needs help.I have a stock 2001 Ford F350 Diesel 4x4 LWB SRW Crew Cab truck with E-Rated tires at 3415lbs and Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear. Last but not least 12,000lb winch. What is the heaviest dry weight camper I should look at without modifying my truck. The used camper that I am looking at has just over a 4,000lb mfg weight. Is that going to be to heavy. Just going to be using regionally for now, no cross country trips. New info: GVWR 9,900 , Front axle 5,200 , Rear axle 6,830 Actual weight: 7,740 Gross , 4,780 Front axle , 2,960 Rear axle
