RE: Help with wheels and tires.
Like Camper8251 said, do make sure you have the load capacity you want. It varies quite a bit even between brands even in the same size and letter: f, g, or h.

RE: F350 SRW crew 6.0 diesel, need help
Go to Fordtrucks.com to learn more about the engine. Basically, there are known issues with known fixes to keep from having them again.
There are quite a few people who drive large trucks with campers on the beach.

RE: New Step for Lance Camper?
I also suggest Torqlift Glow steps. They make great stuff.

RE: Question about standard jack practice
I don't avoid the all up, but I stop and check to make sure that going down (while camper is on the ground) that they are all still on the ground. I tend to have one that wants to go faster from time to time and leaves the ground. I don't have that problem going up although they can get out of height adjustment.
I haven't had one make more noise than the others, but maybe yours need some lubrication.

RE: VERY inexpensive retractable awning
I think awnings generally do fine closed up on the road as long as they stay closed up. Open in a wind storm is a different issue!

RE: Crack. THUMP! Woosh~
Some brands suspend the tank with a metal retaining strap. It sounds like your was suspended like that and came loose. A few people have repaired theirs and posted pics. You might be able to find some examples by querying the forum or archives. If I remember right, you have to take the floor off to gain access. Otherwise, it's adding extra support for the tank by adding screws or more straps to support the tank.

RE: Public Opinion needed on AC Unit
I'm not famiiiar with the Heat unit. I assume you have a propane furnace. If so, I think you are probably ok with just the propane furnace and there isn't any need to mount the heat unit. On the other hand, having an optional heat source that uses electricity can be a good idea if you are camping where there are hookups. I have a small heater for those cases to save the propane. If you are going to have an optional heater, the heating element sounds like a good choice.

RE: Onan LP Gen Install
It despends on the camper how prewired/preplumbed they are. There are people here that have installed them and have taken them out. Looking at my own, it doesn't look like it would be that hard to remove. Northern Lites' could very well be different and may not come presetup.

RE: Need some help since I'm new & basically clueless
Best advice is get a different truck, but that's not in the cards.
Be very careful about considering popups. Some are heavier than light hardsides.
Your biggest limitation right now is probably tires and brakes even with a lighter camper. Have you considered a pull behind?

RE: propane storage/hook-up
My wife usually asks the attendant to fill as well. I don't think she's been turned down. I take them out my self. I do have a sliding tray that makes getting them in/out easier. I also have two bottles and fill up at most once a year.

RE: Sewer Hose Storage...My Turn!
"Does it clear your tailgate opening? "
Not sure I understand? My tailgate is down or removed with the TC on board.
Awesome solve.
I think jimh425 was referring to distance between bed walls/tail gate posts-not the gate itself.
Yes, it seemed it was too wide at the top, but I couldn't tell from the pics how wide your camper is compared to the bed opening. On second thought though, the width of the floor is probably no more than 48-49 inches to slide between the wheel wells. With a normal tailgate width of 60 inches or so, the holder should clear by a few inches.

Nice combination. Congrats. I don't know if is an optical illusion, or is the back really that low?
