Re: TC fit on 2022 F350 7.3L gas DRW 4x4 crew cab
Thanks, mkirsch. I just looked back at one of the older Lance brochures and found you are right, Lance was measuring COG from the taillights of the truck. Thanks! I would be interested please to hear from any year f350 owners that might have either Lance 850 or Lance 835. Interestingly the Ford dealer told us Ford is already cutting off orders for the 2022s to get ready for 2023 model year. Thanks!559Views0likes0CommentsTC fit on 2022 F350 7.3L gas DRW 4x4 crew cab
Hi all- Ordering above truck (XL with camper and off road packages) and want to be very, very conservative on weight. Looking at used TCs. Will an older Lance 850 or 835 fit? Also, older Lances of this size appear to have had COG greater than 62” but in 2013 it looks like that decreased to 34”, per the online Lance brochures. Is that correct? Thanks.2.7KViews0likes10CommentsThor Majestic 23A
Hi there- Any thoughts or comments on 2015 Thor Majestic 23a please? Were they made specifically for Cruise America? They seem to differ from 23U. How do they drive on dirt roads? We are looking at one for sale by a local rental company. 111,000 miles. Thanks for any input!8.5KViews0likes11CommentsRe: How get truck and TC with ample weight capacity
From https://autowise.com/diesel-engine-failure-bosch-cp4-lawsuits-roll-on/ “Unfortunately, there’s no such retrofit kit for the Ford 6.7 Power Strokes because of the way the CP4 pump is mounted in the engine. However, S&S does offer a CP4.2 bypass kit (aka “Disaster Prevention Kit‘) which reroutes fuel from the pump’s bottom end back to the tank and filters. S&S Diesel Motorsport’s “Disaster Prevention Kit” doesn’t keep the Bosch CP4 in Ford Power Stroke 6.7Ls from failing. But it does prevent the pump debris from circulating through the entire fuel system.” This re-routing prevents metal debris from contaminating the rest of the high-pressure system if/when a failure occurs.573Views0likes0CommentsHow get truck and TC with ample weight capacity
Hi all- We are looking to purchase TC and have been doing all the research we can. It appears truck + camper matching is an ongoing hot topic and it is obviously of great interest to us. Here’s as many particulars that I can think of and we would love any advice folks might want to pass on. -We want to be very conservative about payload capacity and have plenty of extra wiggle room. This is paramount. We would like a large margin plus good safe handling. -We are looking at used for both truck and TC. -would like 4x4 as we like desert and off road camping -looking for hard side -do not want slideouts -would ultimately like to boondock (can add upgrades in the future) -don’t care about dry bath, TVs -edit: crew cab for part time third passenger As other posters have pointed out it is not generally practical to take prospective trucks or TCs to scales before purchasing used. We are considering 350 dually. Unsure if diesel or gas. In our price range we are looking at something about 10 years old with less than 200k miles. For TC there seem to be a lot of used Lances in our area, maybe 15 years old. Uses would be extended and short trips, remote or dispersed camping. Not really KOA type. We test drove a Bigfoot on top of a dually and it seemed rather top heavy. Do we have to worry about cog? We are unsure if we should just go ahead and get a dually then find the TC. With a dually are we good to go with nonslideouts? Again, any advice appreciated.7.3KViews0likes29Comments
