Hi,

If you want to go the hitchgate route, let me know. I have one that just sits around my garage.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
It has been a very busy summer and I still have not found my camper yet. I am looking for a hawk 2017 or newer shell that’s not too expensive or sold by the time I see it.
No my spare will not fit under the truck. The rims and tires are too large even if I removed heat shield next to tail pipe. I think I will be looking at a Wilco hitch tire carrier. Suggestions please.
No rear anti sway bar on my truck but I have hear lots of good things about Hellwig suspension. If I can keep camper light the suspension upgrades will be minimal.
I looked at the camera in the tailgate and that will stay put I will just get an after market and put it on plate/ bumper.

We are off to the Westcliffe area this weekend in a tent, but a least it’s camping and not work


What part of Colorado do you live?There’s a place in Grand Junction called Alcan Springs that can make you a custom leaf pack that’s specific to your loaded/wet weight.

GJ isn’t too far from me we spend lots of time on western slope so thanks for the suggestion of Alcan Spring.

What kind of tire carrier is it? I would need if to swing out of the way when camper is on it.
You can reach me here or any

Our ATC Ocelot is only on our Chevy 1/2 ton a few months a year. After using Timbrens for the first few years and after some discussion with JHanson and others here I decided to install a set of Timber Grove air bags on my 2020 Chevy Trail Boss. We just returned from a 21000 km trip which included the Dempster Hwy up to Tuk, McCarthy/Kennecott and lots of gnarly, washboard roads through Alaska, Yukon, NWT and BC. Lets just say , the bags were the best upgrade I have done . Should have installed them when I first got the camper. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.
