Got it. I appreciate your input on this as well as other things you’ve helped me with. This is the first truck camper rodeo for us and we bought a, like new, 2018 Grandby model. Our home base is south FL so the first thing I did was a portable AC. Now I need to ‘beef up’ the battery/solar system (which you gave me great thoughts there already), install an awning ( which I found mounts that bolt to the jacks so I may just go that route as opposed to trying to find the studs and through bolt to them) and some other storage type things. We’re planning a trip up to the Arctic Ocean in early August and have several short trips prior to that to get everything ironed out.


What kind of truck are you using for your Arctic trip?

You might want to start a new thread: “I’m headed to the Arctic Ocean from Florida in my new camper after only having taken a few short camping trips. What should I bring? What should I leave at home?”

First thoughts? Bug spray and fuel money. Bring lots of both.

Probably not a bad idea.  We’ve van camped (E350 extended cargo with a 6.8L V10) for the last 10 years and taken some long trips, but the FWC is quite a step up (we can stand in it!!)  I’ve got a Ford F350 with the 6.7 diesel.  It has 4WD and seems pretty durable.

Diesel?  Attaboy.  Consider stopping in Idaho and getting a Titan Tank installed.  The extra range will come in handy in the North Country.
