Re: Slide out to non slide
We have an AF 865 short bed. We came from a Lance 855s with the full cabinetry in the cab over. Why Lance stopped that, I’ll never understand. Went with the AF for better insulation and larger tanks. Miss the slide, nah. The slide does give you more floor space. The 865 has been good for us. Jeff D746Views0likes0CommentsRe: Solar Panel Mounts
On my 2020 AF 865 I used the AM Solar L foot rocker foot mounts. I have 2 Zamp 170 watt panels at the rear and 1 70 watt panel in front of the refrigerator vent. The mounts make it easy to remove panels if needed. Their mounts have VHB tape on them. I used the tape along with #8 screws with Dicor all over the base of the mount after they were attached. Take a magnet and run it over the area where you want to place the panel mounts. Northwood places sheet metal in certain places for roof mounted items. I got a roof schematic from Northwood and it showed where all the sheet metal was. 9000 miles later the panels are still in place. Jeff D678Views0likes0CommentsRam 3500 truck bed
Hi all, 2021 short bed dually. The far left and right of the bed near the wheel wells has no ribs where the camper would rest. The ribs extend to the front of the bed. I need to fill in the two sides to give me a level area for the camper to rest on. Previous F350 had ribs next to the wheel wells. How have any of you delt with this? I am thinking of thin strips (3/8”) of hard maple, plastic or very hard rubber to fill in the void. Maybe even have the spray in bed liner recoated on the floor after strip install. How does one post pictures here? Thanks Jeff D2.6KViews0likes10CommentsArctic Fox 865 Short Bed
Hi all, Thinking of upgrading the truck to a Dodge dually short bed. Does anyone here carry an 865 on a short bed Dodge? Dually or not. How does the camper ride on the shorter bed? How is the fit? I saw the post with the AF 811 on a Dodge short bed. Pictures would be nice. Thanks Jeff D1.2KViews0likes2Comments
