New to tundrasolutions.com but been finding lots of information, great site, definitely one of the best. The one thing I haven’t been able to find was if any one has specifically talked about slide in truck campers? I have found lots of information on towing, but unsure how much of it applies. I just got a new 2005 Tundra DC and was wondering if anyone out there was hauling a slide-in truck camper? I have been thinking of getting one of the small 6.5' pop up types that seem to range in weight from 1000-1400lbs depending on MFG. I have a couple of question:
Has anyone had issues with Tundras and Truck Campers (the small ones)?
What’s your opinion on Air Bags? I hear they help handling when hauling something like a camper.
What type of Camper tie-downs are you using, Happijack, torklift?
Other general issues concerns?
I have come across a used Northstar 6.5’ dry weight 1200lbs. I am trying to find out more before I take the next step. Obviously the lighter the better and I am trying to balance the amenities with overall weight but also interested in just how much a Tundra can handle and what helps.
Sorry about all of the question, but a newbie to Tundras as my previous truck was too small and wimpy to mention. Been loving the truck, love the ride, and it definitely beat all of the competition!!!
