RE: Looking for options
Northstar, Bigfoot and Northern Lite are some additional brands you should compare.

RE: Extended warranty experiences
So the question I have is why someone would buy something with questionable reliability and then have to bandaid the purchase with an extended warranty. At least in my view, I would look at purchasing something that worried me less about failure.

RE: Extended warranty experiences
My belief is that to purchase an extended warranty, you do do not have confidence in the durability of the product you purchased. As others pointed out, companies are out there to make profit and will set the cost higher than payout. You will always be betting against "the house" odds and be better to bank that money yourself.

RE: What did you do to your truck today?
Currently, I have the 225's with 4.44 gearing. My Toyo's are 245's which will make cruising RPM a little less. 65 mph is 2000 rpm in stock trim.

RE: Quality of new Arctic Fox TC
No, mine is a 2018 delivered in 2017 and I have not seen any Host's with center markers up front. They do have the ones in the rear.

RE: Quality of new Arctic Fox TC
If your camper does not have them, you truck should so you are legal based on width. Camper manufacturers targeting the SRW market need something in place to keep lighting in compliance but not those selling to the DRW owners.

RE: Regrets with 19.5" tires? Places you havent been able to go?
I just received a seven new 245/70r19.5 Toyo's to replace my 7 year old OEM tires. After 65k miles, the Continental's still have healthy tread but are being replaced due to age. I never had to use the spare, but it is also getting replaced.

RE: What did you do to your truck today?
I have a tower of Toyo M655's sitting in the garage waiting to be mounted. We are spending some time on the Oregon Coastal Dunes and will try to get this done between trips. 7 by 82 lbs is much easier to move around on a furniture dolly than rolling one at a time.

RE: Regrets with 19.5" tires? Places you havent been able to go?
19.5's have plenty of traction tread but do not have flotation. If you are in deep snow or soft sand, LT tires are better. I am on my second truck now with 19.5's and know the limitations but will not give up the durability and load carrying ability.

RE: Quality of new Arctic Fox TC
Make sure the camper is sitting level in the bed. If it is uneven on one corner, it may be twisting the frame. You can check this out by disconnecting the turnbuckles and raising the camper slightly off the bed. If the door now clears the opening, start looking what may be between the camper and truck that is causing it to twist.

RE: RV Dealers think new campers are junk
As a dealer, you have a choice of which products you sell and then have to service/repair. If you feel that the product is so sub par that it hurts margins or the reputation of your dealership, why would you carry it?

RE: What did you do to your truck today?
Most truck campers have those lights, but Host assumes your truck will have them and does not have the center lights on their units (yes, I asked).
If Raptors and Rebels and other over width SRW vehicles can run them in the grill as OEM, I don't know why a DRW could not. You see the center light option on narrower SRW's because if you tow a wider flatbed or dump trailer, you should also have them. Since there is no trailer location for these lights, the truck should be carrying the lights.

RE: What did you do to your truck today?
Over a certain width requires the center lights whether hauling, towing or just a wide stance. This is why they are required even on some SRW model trucks.

RE: Cybertruck RV prototype pictures released
Until there is a truck in production that will fit this camper, it is all just hype. Let's close this down until people have product in hand.

RE: Cybertruck RV prototype pictures released
I want CBRTK mainly bc of that rust resistant Stainless steel body. Living in snow belt salted roads is pita with any other vehicle.
A Delorean will cost you less and there is even a firm in TX assembling them from spare parts.

Put clearance lights in the grill like the Raptor?

RE: Load center wiring
May be getting feeds from truck pigtail, AC converter or solar controller even with battery disconnected. I found some items don't run through the panel and have a direct line to DC with an in-line fuse.

RE: new topic
It would be awesome if they opened new threads about politics, covid, gray water and truck brands and never edited or closed them.
Covid would be really fun. LOL
Just think of all the new friends we could make. :B
There is a campfire section of this forum for this chatter. You get a different moderator over there too.
