*@NJRE* : Now that you have enjoyed your Eagle Cap for a few years, do you still feel you chose the right truck to haul it around? How do you deal with top-heaviness or the EC's big overhang in back when going uphill? The Eagle Cap looks like a wonderfully livable camper, but for regular RVers concerned w/ top-heaviness & not as savvy as you in off-road upgrades, is an F550 dually safer or is a high-payload capable F350 enough?

It’s been great. I just changed out airbags to Timbrens to get truck perfectly level. Don’t have issues w rear going up hills. But I don’t do any hardcore off roading. Grass, gravel, sand and roadways is about it. Too heavy isn’t too bad. My only pet peeve is 3 slides. If u move around a lot it a nuisance.

Curious did they use the Hutchison mrap bead lock bands inside your tires to pinch the tire bead against the wheel so it holds air? I was told I either have to do that or have the lip of the mrap wheel machined down to fit the tire bead.

Unless you have a F550 your over weight on your rear axle weight rating. I have a F550 and had an 2020 1165 and got rid of because was too heavy for my taste I got a northern lite 10.2 … you need a bigger truck. The rear axle WR on a F550 is 14000. The extra springs you put on will with the squatting but your taxing the rear axle.

I asked this question on another channel….but he was too much of an ass to give a straight answer…..maybe you can answer it. Why do you think going to a super single is better for your setup vs staying a dully? Even though the wheels/tires can the weights you are carrying, don’t you loose some flotation properties by removing the inner tires? Isnt spreading that weight out over a larger area better to ride up on sand, etc? I understand that adding 2 extra MRAP wheels may not be possible (expensive, heavy, to big for space, etc) but in general, what’s the mindset here?
@NJRenewableEnergy
3 жыл бұрын
You actually get better surface area w this super singles setup compared to 19.5 tires. Especially when you air down. I find it rides better on highway too. There is a slight loss of MPG because of rolling resistance and weight, but it’s only a mile per gallon or so.
