Super excited to have the combo ready to roll. The camper will be on board full time for trips and fishing. Hopefully by summertime campgrounds will be open for trip planning.

Pre-installation.

Topper removed.

Magnetic color on the Ford is amazing close to our Grandby. 
​
Dolly serves two purposes camper nest and storage for the topper, tailgate, camper jacks and bed rug bottom. 
​
Test run with our entire combination a short trip to get the feel of all. Handled as expected with the HDP package on the F-150. After a real trip I will post performance numbers on the 5.0L. The first camping trip will be on my buddies private farm. Some nice spots on this farm with hills and wildlife to view. Should be a nice way to break in the new truck. This trip will get us out of the house and be responsible on social distancing orders. Be safe all!

Have fun, wish I knew someone in Indiana with a farm. Everything is shut down for now[emoji25]

Hey that looks great!

I'll be putting a Grandby on my 2020 F150 soon. Did you beef up the suspension?

I added a set of bolt on Hellwig 2500 lb helper springs. Just to help with the added tongue weight of my boat. Probably didn’t need them for the camper only. They did level the truck nicely and handling is exceptional.
