Not sold there, but I am thinking Isuzu Outback new or Lexus RX used.

I will buy a car in Australia next month and need advice for one that is friendliest on my hip arthritis. A mid-size SUV or station wagon AWD should work if it has a smooth ride, especially on asphalt, where it will spend 95% of the time. Occasional off road use requires AWD but that is lower...

Those turnbuckles are at a pretty extreme angle...do you have anything additional tying the camper down vertically?

Great, I just ordered that since using my hand to sense temperatures seems too primitive. Have you checked the numbers against a thermal sensor? And how warm/hot is too hot? 150˚F?

That's the sort of comment I was hunting for...again, I asked the wrong question. PLUS, I got off my lazy behind and weighed the truck both axles so now I can get minimum highway pressures from the tire pressure charts. My guess is that the 25psi is a good place for deflation, but I get very...

Yes, I asked the wrong question. I should have said "I know I'm supposed to get axle weights at a weigh station when my camper is loaded as intended but I'm so lazy that I am hoping someone has a truck/camper much like mine so they can respond with their experience". I have gotten very lucky...

I failed to emphasize the low pressures for off road, your recommendations, for asphalt going to the max is the safe bet.

https://www.toyotires.com/media/2125/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20170203.pdf Yes, I had that. So you are recommending 30psi, then...or exactly what? Based on 35X12.50R18LT. And "Don't put mismatched tires front and rear, it's a bad idea." Your opinion is referenced ...where? The...

oh, 4WD of course.

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid a 2-4 hour research project, since so many people here are amazingly knowledgeable. I had trouble finding the correct load table at Toyo and figured maybe I could save a few hours.

F350 SCLB with 3000# camper. I replaced the LT275/70R18E A/T factory tires with Toyo 35x12.50R18LT 12PR Load Rating F to allow lower pressures off-road, especially on washboard. The problem is that the Toyos are very noisy on asphalt, so noisy that I am considering replacing the Toyos with the...

I have wondered idea how far in the future is this for truck campers. Almost certainly big batteries and 120-240 volt inverters are in our future, but how far is the question.

You don't need the $415 Camera Source (ROSTRA). the ULTIMATE TRAILER TOW CAMERA SYSTEM comes with a camera. I got one with my 2019 but have not mounted it yet. Downside...it has about 30 feet of harness to extend to the back of a trailer.

I ordered the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera with my 2019 F350 but I only want a camera on my Hallmark camper for now, no trailer, but the entire assembly has over 30 feet of wiring harness included. Can I (or an electronics technician) make a harness/repin a connector, so that the Ford factory...
