    After looking at the AEV website again, I think you are correct. Sorry for that, I'll see if I can edit the title.

    We are planning to camp at Acadia National Park for 2-3 nights during the first week of October. After that we have 7-10 to explore the rest of Maine. We prefer National Forest type campgrounds or dispersed camping as often as possible. Every 3-4 nights we like to use a full service type...

    "Downgrading" from 19.5" wheels on 5500/550 series trucks

    That is a good question…something else to consider, thanks.

    "Downgrading" from 19.5" wheels on 5500/550 series trucks

    I am thinking about 20" wheels in order to clear the brakes in the trucks that come stock with 19.5" wheels. I'm sure others on this forum have real-world experience, but I am reading that 19.5" tires have very little sidewall flex and the high tire pressure, 80 lbs. plus, to keep the bead...

    "Downgrading" from 19.5" wheels on 5500/550 series trucks

    Just a bit of daydreaming...As we get a little closer to retirement and having the opportunity to take longer trips, I am thinking about changing from our current set up: 2018 Ram 3500, CRD, 4x4 short bed and a Lance 865 camper, to a 5500/550 chassis model with a flatbed, or possibly a F450, so...

    Mounting Options for Front Aux Lights

    I'm sorry, that truck is long gone. This is the best I can do. I did not have to remove the tow hooks/loops.

    Mounting Options for Front Aux Lights

    I had a Smittybilt street light bar on my F250. It was very well made and bolted to the existing front tow hooks. I don't think I'd mount lights to any plastic bumper parts, I would worry they would not stay put.

    2021 Ram 5500 with 2022 Host cascade

    Gotcha. Asking these questions trying to plan for the future. However I have been reading that airing down 19.5" tires is not recommended and those are the tires that are on a Ram 5500. One of our favorite things to do is take our truck camper to Cape Lookout and camp right on the beach, several...

    2021 Ram 5500 with 2022 Host cascade

    Do you plan to put any storage boxes along the sides, on the top of your flatbed?

    Insurance for hard side truck campers

    National General. Same company insures the truck and camper but they are separate policies.

    Insurance for hard side truck campers

    We made sure our policy covered the replacement cost of our camper, on or off the truck. If your camper spends more time off of your truck than it does on the truck, likes our does, it seems more likely that something could happen while it is off the truck like theft, damage from a falling tree...
