My newest truck is 96 F250 diesel, it handled camper fine, when I picked it up today. I didn't take off the plow, before picking it up, so with extra 800lbs hanging off front, it balanced pretty good, may have to add a block, to hit last leaf in back, sooner to keep it level.

Once I get it home, I'm sure I'll find more to fix than, I found to negotiate price down with, but no water damage as far as I found and looks to be well cared for. You can tell, it's 27yrs old, but it's 17yrs newer than trailer and 20yrs newer than old cab over camper.

Nice!

I have always liked cab over pickup campers. I never have had one, but it seems like a motorhome but you can still use your pickup. The best of both worlds. 

Congratulations Robert. Great upgrade.

Bought a project today 1991 camper, to replace my 1974 camp trailer.



It came with frame tie downs, but I have to make some brackets for my truck.
