I had a 04' F-350 DRW paired with a 03' Lance 1121, I could load it IMO very easily, much less complicated than you require as my Lance was made for a LB.

My Arctic Fox 811 sits on my chevy Silverado 3500 gas crew cab srw. That 865 is even lighter. Dually is overkill and i would take that stuff out of your box and move it up so the center of gravity sits over your axle. Upgraded rims and tires along with timbrens makes the srw better. Almost a "super single".

@TheOxandTheFox
@TheOxandTheFox Месяц назад
Yes, when I purchased it I had a short bed F250 on a single rear wheel. I upgraded to the long bed dually F350. The center of gravity still sets in the same spot over the rear axle in my long bed as it did in my short bed.

I’m finding the right truck for a camper with these specs harder than choosing the trailer :) is a dually recommended to required for this truck? Thanks, love all your videos and I subscribed. Very helpful! Love to see a video on what you feel are the right truck choices for this camper and why.

Thanks for subscribing!!! The Arctic Fox 865, can be carried/Hauled by a Single Rear Wheel or a Dual Rear Wheel, I originally had a single rear wheel F250 when I purchased this camper. I just felt better about carrying it on a F350 dual rear wheel. It does ride better to me on the Dually. Thanks for the tip on the video. I will have to put one together for the types of trucks for this camper.

Great content! Is that a short bed TC on a long bed truck? Don't think I've seen the gap up front before. Any issues having that setup compared to having a long bed TC?
@TheOxandTheFox
@TheOxandTheFox 6 месяцев назад
Thanks, and Yes, that is a SB truck camper in a LB truck. We originally purchased the camper for our short bed F-250 SRW, but it turned out to be a little over its payload. We then purchased our F-350 DRW LB to carry our camper, bc It was extremely hard to find a 350 Dual Rear Wheel short bed. It seems to work out very well, I can get the center of gravity above the rear axle on the LB as far as I did on the SB, and I haven’t had any issues yet. It also freed up some storage between the cab and the camper, so that is a plus.
@mattwlane
@mattwlane 6 месяцев назад
Interesting idea about the additional storage up front! I'll be curious to see how it all works out for you! My wife and I are looking at a similar setup although we may go even bigger (in some ways) to a 450.

What type of hitch extension are you running? We have a 23 F350 dually 7.3 gas and run an 865 as well, long bed version. Are you running air bags?
@TheOxandTheFox
@TheOxandTheFox 6 месяцев назад
The hitch extension I’m currently running is from my older set up that I had in my Ford F250. It is a Curt 36 to 42 inch extension. Also I had the airlift airbags on my F250. However, since I upgraded to the F350 I have not purchased the airbags for that truck yet. My plan is to upgrade my hitch extension to the torque lift super truss as well as get airbags for my F350. However, that dually handles it pretty well without the bags.

Right on. One other thing, what do you currently tow? And how does it handle towing with the camper on. Not power wise, handling. Thanks for responding to my questions!

Disregard the last comment about towing. Watched another one of your videos and you carry a motorcycle back there.

@@AFoxintheWild I also pull a 16 foot Triton boat (about 100 lbs of tongue wt). It handles very well. The dual rear wheels keep a lot of the sway to a minimum. I can’t really tell a difference when it’s back there.

@TheOxandTheFox 6 месяцев назад
I was mistaken on what you were asking yes the GVWR is 14,000 lbs. the sticker inside the door jam says 5,800 lbs but I weighed the truck without the camper and it weighs 8,900 lbs so I can haul roughly 5,100 lbs of camper and equipment.

I@@TheOxandTheFox Thanks. Yesterday I picked up my new 2024 F350 7.3 gas Dually with camper certification to replace my 2006 Ram 3500 dually to haul our 2014 Big Foot 10.6. I have same 14000 GVWR. I don't have exact numbers in front of me but sticker says I have like 6200 lbs PAYLOAD, Camper Cert paperwork says max CARGO WEIGHT of like 5450. the difference between the payload and cargo weight is payload adds the 150 lbs x the truck's 5 seats.

The space you have cab/camper does not seem correct.
@TheOxandTheFox
@TheOxandTheFox 6 месяцев назад
That’s because the camper is technically a short bed camper. The only difference in the short box vs the long box Arctic Fox 865 is the cabinet at the back of the camper that prevents the camper from going any farther forward. The cabinet is bigger / deeper in the Short box model AF865. The truck is a long bed truck, so the camper won’t physically go any farther toward the cab. The important part is that the center of gravity is above the rear axle. I had a 2015 Ford F250 SRW short bed before I purchased the truck in the video, and the center of gravity was farther behind the rear axle with the camper all the way to the cab in the short bed than it is in the new Ford F350 DRW long bed. It doesn’t look right, but it is with in recommendations, and provides a small amount of storage up front, between the cab and camper.

Hello. I'm not sure I understand your response that the "cabinet is bigger/deeper in the short box model 865." I'm looking at a new 865 for my 2021 RAM 3500 long bed SRW, but can't seem to find anything (even on Northwood's website) that distinguishes between a "long" and "short" version of the camper. I want the camper to go all the way forward (no gap), so does the "long" version not have this cabinet in the rear? I can certainly call Northwood directly, but thought I'd ask you first! Thanks.
@TheOxandTheFox
@TheOxandTheFox 5 месяцев назад
@@auroraborealis3105 the long bed version of the Arctic Fox 865 is the same length as the short bed version in total overall length. The only difference is the short bed version has extra space at the outdoor cabinets because the short bed truck is not as long and does not reach all the way to the cabinets. So Northwood made the cabinets on the short bed, larger and more spacious to fill in the excess. The passenger side cabinet actually comes with a generator in the short bed version. The long bed version cabinets/outside storage compartments are not big enough to contain a generator so the long bed version does not come with a generator, the driver side cabinet/compartment is very small and is really just an access panel to the black and gray water drain valves. If you have a long bed truck, the Long bed version of the AF865 would fit snug up to the cab of your truck.

Thank you sir! I guess I’ll need to specify “long bed” (or no generator) in my search. Appreciate your videos; they’re well done.
