It's been a hell of a year since i purchased my camper (eagle) and setup my truck (03 tundra access cab) I've gone through 2 knee surgery's, followed by a ski season ending fall which torqued the crap out of one of my new ACL's. So yes it's official I'm getting old, and a little more attuned to the creature comforts.
My setup has been great when we could use it, but than i crawled inside a newer hawk and than i saw a dodge power wagon. Not that i want to afford either but man that would be a great setup (i know dodge advises against slide in camper in the power wagon, but) who has them? i'm not a dodge guy or a domestic truck guy but man it'd be an impressive setup if the truck would hold up! it sounds like there a 'soft' suspension-ed 3/4 ton with heavy duty drive train, w factory lockers and the works! I got to think airbags or a helper spring and you're set!
So for you dodge guys what sort of 'real' mileage are you getting with the hemi loaded with a camper. what sort of problems are most common. and is there a market for a used 'setup' tundra with camper? what's a fair price?
