What nobody tells you is that these campers are too heavy for the f-350 or the 3500 series of trucks. You need an f-550, 5500 series are bigger to haul these big beasts. There are more and more instances of these campers bending truck frames and destroying them. You better know your max payload capacity that includes everyone and everything you put in and on the truck and don't go over it because if you are overweight, insurance and warranties won't cover the damage

Completely agree. I’m in a bunch of slide in truck camper groups on Facebook. Large number of people carrying a Lance 1172 in a Ram 3500 DRW Diesel 4dr crew cab 8’ bed. Those trucks only have a payload of about mid 4K. I mentioned to one guy that there’s no way you aren’t way overweight, after cargo, people and filled tanks. He said he knows he is and that he accepts it. Then tells me a majority of camper owners are. Then says…….thats life.

A model 850 = 8ft 6 inch, A model 1000 = 10 ft even. Way back in the 1990's I saw a monstrous truck camper. The id tag said 13ft. It slept 8, had a full bath with shower. Must have been unbelievably heavy hence why they don't build then this long anymore. !

There are job-sites where it is hard to bring a trailer, where you could save some money not having to get a motel during the project. I think the choice also depend on what kind of truck you have. You are going to want a top-of-the-line truck with the best transmission and engine. I doubt a Tundra or even Nissan's diesel, could handle any of these. Then there is the type of camping you do. If you are going to be in the same spot for a month, then the slide-outs might ease the claustrophobia. But if you are on a road-trip where you camp somewhere different every night, then you don't want the slide-outs. I would get rid of all those creature comforts to have a shower twice as large with a water-tank twice as large. I love a hot-shower, especially when my lady-friend washes me down.

@@celestepalm6949 The EC is going to physically look almost the same on an F-450 as it does on an F-350. Personally, I wouldn't consider putting an 1165 on a 350-class truck, as I think it is asking for trouble. An F-450 or 500 is the minimum I think that should be considered. The challenge with an F-450 is the stated specs show a smaller payload capacity than for a 350, even though the components are beefier. There are many discussions about the reasoning for this, and the implications, and we were comfortable selecting the F-450 - and it handles the 1165 great. The problem with going to an F-550 is it limits you in trim packages (no Limited or Platinum).

I agree. While many pickup trucks are made to tow a prodigious amount of weight, few (if any) are designed to carry it in the bed, directly over the rear wheels. Once you get into the category that these babies are in, you'd be better off with a 650 or 750 chassis cab that has a frame and suspension engineered for those loads, but then you'd have no bed in which to put the camper. Personally, these things look nice, and I can see the appeal, but of all the RV options I think this is the least practical, most dangerous, and the hardest to live with because taking it on and off the bed is no easy task. Many people do it once, and then just leave it on the back of the truck permanently, which negates the whole idea of using it to get around town when camping.

For truck bed campers, something that would be EXTREMELY useful is what bed length is required for the camper unit. It would be very handy to know if you want to spec a 1 ton pick-up with a 6'4" bed or do you need to spec an 8' long bed.

Every manufacturer provides the CG number in their specs. The CG (center of gravity) should be above the rear axel or in front of it. However, in my own research, I’ve observed the vast majority of truck camper manufacturers do list which campers are designated for short bed trucks or long bed trucks with some models that will work on either length bed.

I've had my 2017 Eagle Cap 1165 since 2018. It's July 2021 and I've been traveling all over Utah (in the north eastern area now) for the last 2 weeks and plan to continue touring the state for another 2/3 weeks. Considering going to Idaho before I head west? My plans are in very lite pencil, as I deviate often. I'll continue on the road possibly until Sept.as I live in Southern Az. and it's ass hot there now. Living in this camper is the best with just me and my roomate (German Shepherd). If ya like long road trips, with full hook ups or boondocking, this camper is the very best. Researched a lot before I found this 1 after an extensive 2 year search.

Fun fact about the Northstar STC- it's the only side-entrance slide-in camper that isn't designed specifically to be used with a dually pickup. To my knowledge, at least.

I forgot to include Bear Adventure Vehicles, and their Kodiak Bear model camper should've made this a Top 6 list. I showed my mom the pictures of the interior options on their website for all four of their models, and she was genuinely impressed.

With Eaglecap at nearly 5K weight dry, imagine the axle crushing effect on a F-450 Superduty when it's wet loaded with all your gear, food, etc. 3500 lbs. dry is a good platform to begin with.

I used to have a 1972 Coachman camper, it was only 9.5' long, but the front 3 feet where bathroom, wet bath, sink on passenger side, closet door on the driver side blocked the view into the bath from the kitchen. Dinette was raised about 6" for toilet holding tank, it was on passenger side, while closet, refrigerator, stove, then sink where on the driver's side. Very compact, and great use of space, with plenty of room to dress inside the bathroom! Cabover queen bed, and less than 2,800 pounds wet.
