Did a 5 day trip with some friends to DV. I've been to DV numerous times through the years, though first time with the truck camper and it did very well. A LOT of washboard and pseudo technical roads coming in from the North of the park at Eureka Dunes. Suspension handles the load and was not overly rebounding. I have air bags, stable loads, Bilsteins 5100's.9F469C74-47DA-4B80-93A2-1499F67612B1.jpeg533D646F-C318-4BBE-9081-C7CAE8D49BC1.jpeg4C870B8D-C7BC-4CFD-94BA-BA693FA4C79E.jpeg299D8CCC-8D25-43A9-9CF3-D417390A9FD9.jpegDB1A4729-99A6-433A-8F3D-A4217D4D1371.jpeg15401036-B637-41AF-BC3E-CB5B8BA677B7.jpeg

That's a well tuned rig bud. You got the 3500 with the leafs. It would be nice to have Deaver build you a custom leafpack. I'm not a fan of the Stableloads but they're working for you. Real nice.

Thanks. Just to clarify the stable loads are the bottom one's that rotate into place. I originally had them mounted on my F150. Luckily they mounted right up to my 3500. I like the that they engage the very bottom overload spring. Deavers would be great and definitely an option for the future.

I really like how your camper is so far forward over the cab. I haven't seen that particular one. What model is it? Must make for a huge bed.

I'm always curious why more truck camper companies don't make them a lot longer since so many go on full crew cab pick ups these days.

It is 21 Northstar Liberty. The bed is a queen size.
