Wanted Used Camper

[Bravefart]

Looking for a used camper to fit a 8' box possibly a 11' should work.
Recently bought a 2005 F-350 diesel so size should not be a problem, or is there. (never had a camper before.)
Lower Mainland or South Vancouver Island.

Thanks Davie

Be careful with the older ones as some of the newer truck tailgates are a little narrower.

Yeah the Chevy's put a brace on the inside of the tailgate and totally screwed up loading the older model campers , Ford I beleive is OK and so are the Dodges, had a Chev truck and bought an older model camper which didn't fit !! much cursing and modifying and we were OK !

Regards

The ford superdutys have the tailgate brace to. I had to do some trimming on my 9.5' mid eighties Vanguard to get it to fit.

Thanks for the info.
What kind of trimming was involved.

The non shower side of the camper has storage that had to be removed. Also had to raise the camper about 1.5" to allow the overhang to clear the cab.

On paper, any camper with a slideout will likely be too heavy for a pre-2011 single-rear-wheel truck, and most newer ones, too. Any regular camper with no pop out should be ok, especially if you have airbags or stabiloads. There was a camper that came with a truck I was looking at if you want a cheap one, I'll try and find it. I have a 2500lb Lance with a pop-out rear bed, giving you two beds, three if you put down the dinner table.

Wow !!! if you are really that hard up for a camper how about a 811 Arctic Fox 2016 year model with 8000 Kms on it.

Thought we were retired . Yah. haven't used it or the 2017 F350 Dually with 11800 kms on it

I’ve got the perfect camper but do lust after a dually to increase the margin of safety and payload when towing the boat at the same time. Not in the cards right now, but I’m sure yours will sell quick

What’s a 2016 Arctic Fox 811 worth today?
