I suspect it is a shop by shop problem. I had a leak in my airbag shocks and went back to the installer. I first went to them after having the camper off for a long non-camping road trip. Then went back to them(in Tucson) with the airbag leak problem and they wouldn't put it on their old lift...

They are heavy(less than 100#) and awkward to handle, but I have three of them under my camper!

I suggest lifting the camper and installing a livestock pad for the camper to rest on clear of attachment points.

Try Dan and Krysta they have a casita they rent out in Catalina, AZ 520 975 2925

Doesn't the Crewmax have only a 5.5' bed? Lots of overhang! I suggest adding another leaf spring to handle that rear loading.

The 2022 Tundra has an option for a hybrid turbo charged V6.

Just remember the greatest cost of owning a vehicle is not gas consumption, but maintenance!! My experience of turbos is the added pressure in the engine can lead to expensive failures like coolant leaks, etc and resulting in very expensive repairs, like in the $20K range. I feel much more...

I am sort of a kayak Guru with two Warren carbon fibre kayaks(one a sailing kayak) in Fort Collins, two Pygmy kayaks at our winter home in Tucson, and a CLC 17 and Pygmy at our CO mountain cabin, all of which I haul in a kayak trailer for easy loading and unloading. Both my wife and I are in our...

That is great! A must see!

I have a 2013 Tundra and had to lift my Hallmark camper in order to clear the truck cab. No big deal. I use stock pads(three) and do the job nicely.

Mods to the 1st generation Tundra: I recommend finding a shop with experience installing helper springs rather than air bags or both. I had a lot of problems with leaky air bags and had a shop install an extra leaf spring. It works great. Also get 10 ply tires!

I had a 2001 RAM/Cummings set up like that. Your mileage estimate is spot on and man could that rig climb mountains. No mention of toilet/shower? Porta potty? Bill

I made the transition from 2011 Tacoma to a 2013 Tundra and I have never regretted the transition. The Tundra is a much more comfortable ride and carries the camper load much better especially after I added another spring leaf as well as air bags. The main disadvantage of the 2nd gen Tundra is...

Amen!

I use stock mats. They are 4X8 sheets about 2" thick. They are a bit heavy for an 81 year old to load and unload but they work great! It takes three with my 2013 Tundra and a Hallmark Milner.

As to raising camper to clear side rails, I find stock pads works great! I need to of them for my Tundra.

I'd like to hear your report on the 2022 Tundra. Is it the hybrid or standard V6 engine?

I agree with the consensus that you should go with airbags. I also use just a bicycle pump but carry a full compressor. I don't even measure the pressure, just make sure the height above the rear tire is the same on both sides with a tape measure.

What do you have for tires? I recommend 10 ply tires like BF Goodrich AT's. Bill

like your sketches!

Agree that is where my plug is on my Hallmark. It does have a cover. I am surprised there isn't a hand crank option for top lifting??

One time I arrived at my lot with yurt near Creede, CO at 10,200'. I decided to leave our FWC with food in it with top down since it was so late. I woke to sounds of a bear trying to get in our yurt and our dog scared it off. Next morning I found major damage($1400) to the camper but he didn't...

First of all you must get in the campers that you are interested in and attempt to erect the top of a popup. My wife can not lift either the FWC or ATC even with lift assist struts. We therefore went to a Hallmark Milner which she can lift either with hand crank or rechargeable electric drill...

I haver both a 12v electric pump and standing foot pump. Never us electric pump. Foot pump is much easier to set up. I use tape measure for height of fender above tire rather than pressure.
