Hi Poky- If you still need those detail shots of the windows, just PM me with your email address. Scott

This thread reminded me of this video. Posting it again for those who have not seen it yet.

Nice write up, DrJ. We like our side dinette for the open feeling and roominess you describe. Just two of us. A point of clarification: the King Slide option is available with any of the floor plans.

Hi George- FWC uses 10 gauge wire. Some Do-it-yourselfers have run 8 gauge. Take your pick. How to wire: There is a hot and ground from the camper (current colors are white/hot and black/ground.) Run the ground directly to the truck battery negative lug, and the hot through a 30-amp thermal...

You went absolutely the correct way for hauling a camper. Post up a pic when you get the Hawk mounted! Scott

Your solar plug wires should be coiled up near the battery separator, for you to add a controller. Then go from the controller to the two wires that you see at your battery location.

From my 2015 Ram sales catalog: A 2500 Crew Cab 4x4, 6'4" box, with an 8510 GVWR (which is the Power Wagon GVWR only) gives a payload of 1,480 pounds. The same truck but not a power wagon has a GVWR of 10,000 for a payload of 3,280-- 1,800 more than the PW.

The 2550 payload you found must be for the 5.7? When you opt for the 6.4 or the diesel, you get a bump in the GVWR to 10,000...which would give a much higher payload for the gas 6.4 over the 5.7.

Wow, what an ambitious project! And it seems you are moving right along. You really scored on that camper, it looks very well taken care of and not beat up at all. Thanks for posting so we can follow along! Scott

Hi Bill- Welcome! Yes, the camper resting on the side rails is a problem! The camper floor needs the support of resting on the floor or a raised platform. They are not designed to be used without floor support, neither are the side rails designed to support the weight of the camper. Build...

Yes the flush mount stove is stainless steel under the glass. I really like mine for the counter space it adds. Simple enough to keep clean, but I don't do 7-course meals. Scott

I agree with Bill about the new one with the upgrades being a better buy long term. In addition to the better rear door and lift panels, the liner (pop-up fabric) is an improved product. I would not drive at highway speeds with the straps, take slow back roads. The factory may be able to...

The Bethany Pick Upper! Made in the 70's and/or 80's. Very rare. Bethany made a lot of tent trailers, and a few of these.

Cool! But since I already have a Grandby, I'll take the Scout!

Best wishes to Matt, Peter, and the crew!

Bill, since you are not in a hurry, you might want to wait a bit (any day now!) and test drive one of the new F150's. If they still offer the payload package (8400 lbs, I believe) and if it is available in the crew cab that you desire, sounds like a great package. Scott

What KILROY said. Too much leverage on the jack brackets if you were to hit a pebble while rolling the camper. Much better and safer to lower it onto a large dolly and roll it around that way.

Congrats! It looks really sharp on your truck. What are your plans for the interior?

Cummins Engine Company has factories in several countries. But to my knowledge, Dodge/Ram gets ones made at the factory in Columbus, Indiana. I would assume the same for the larger Fords that can be had with the Cummins. Do you have info to the contrary?

NIce find, especially considering they are pretty scarce in your region. It looks pretty well optioned and I like the dolly it was sitting on! Getting the boys outdoors is the best thing you could do for them. Takes lots of pictures while camping so you can look back on them 10-15 years from...

Your F-150 has a 8200 GVWR? that's great…the highest I've seen on F-150 window stickers on the dealer lots is 7350 or 7400. Wow, 8200 is approaching 3/4 ton ratings. What is your payload, have you weighed the truck? I'm anxious to see the 2015 F-150's !

Before you attempt the repair yourself, you really should get in touch with the factory to see if they have any suggestions They have straightened roofs for folks that did the same.
