I have a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4x4 crew cab with 8' bed. Next weekend I am planning to pick up a 2000 Alaskan 10' CO. Any tips for a newbie? It's going to be a long trip, about 9 hours of driving every day for 4 days.
Tomorrow I will begin prepping the truck, starting with installing the camper plug inside the bed. I have Torklift brackets coming, those will get installed next week. I have Air Lift helper bags.
I plan to bring some 2x4's in case we need to raise the camper above the bed floor. I will have an assortment of power and hand tools.
Any wiring tips? I plan to run a 10 gauge wire with breaker from the battery. 10 gauge ground to the truck frame. 14 gauge for the clearance lights, and 14 gauge for the brake lights.
What do I need to do/know for the trip? How fast can you drive with the camper?
