Re: Truck camper question
Bigger is better in terms of the truck, but if you have the truck then there are campers that fit short beds, and those that fit short or long beds and will work on your truck since it is equipped with airbags. We purchased a Palomino 1240 and installed Timbrens and it rides beautifully, there are even lighter models in the backpack line. Also Four Wheel Drive campers specialize in light campers that easily fit a 1/2 ton, but they are pricier than the Palomino. Good luck!360Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1/2 ton Chevy
You might want to look at the popup line of campers by Palomino. There are some that will work with a half ton. There is also "4 Wheel Campers" that will even go on a Ranger or Tacoma, but you pay for the lack of weight. I have a half ton and ended up putting Timbrens on my rear suspension because my camper puts me right at my capacity, but that is before I get in the truck, my wife the dog, and the camping supplies. With the added help of the Timbrens the truck rides beautifully, but I know I'm still riding heavy. I may add helper springs before I'm done.128Views0likes0Comments
