Costco has 105AH lipo for $650. And they weigh nothing compared to my 147# monsters.

that thing scales at over 6500 pounds. you need a F550 0r 5500 dually with 19.5 commercial tires to handle the load
just understand that those batteries no not do well below freezing or in high heat
4801 dry. Seems like the gasser F-350 DRW should be ok with it. These figures are after accounting for 150 lbs per belted seat in the cab. F-450 has the diesel standard and gets hit a bit by that.
the guys on the FB truck camper board that own them report that the dry weight includes zero options, no water, no propane or empty tanks, no options ( including required option packages ,which makes no sense). Every one of them report that they have cat scaled at over 6000 pounds ready to camp.
go to the bottom of the review for actual weights https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/camper-reviews/2017-eagle-cap-1200-review/

Oh damn, that thing is portly. At 4,800 lbs dry, I'd want as much truck as possible.
I tuned out in that review early on. So they did discuss weights and trucks at the end!
The 7.3 looks like a good compromise to gain payload while still being strong.
Got the mouse mess cleaned out. I hope to salvage the drawers, but we will see. I am never having nice in my truck again they made a huge mess.
the essence of highlands ranch/cherry creek in a camper....
My Brothers Camper plans do not include me.
Unless he has plans to maim him out of spite, of course.

Not “camping” by my, or most on the Monkeys definition but it’s what the wife wanted to do for Mother’s Day. Carpenteria State Beach, if you can get over the fact that there’s a lot of people and it’s essentially a parking lot, it’s actually a pretty cool spot. Wife had fun, kid had fun, dogs had fun, even I had fun, and fixed my screwed up shoulder blade
After 800mg ibuprofen every 4 hours for a couple months, all it took was a quick nap on the asphalt with a little extra weight smooshing me, and the pain is gone, arms no longer numb, dogs are actually useful

Bruce Ludlum assembled a Ram 5500 with an 11-foot cab and chassis, a highly-customized Knapheide utility bed, and an Eagle Cap 1165.

Seems like a lot of headaches ultimately, especially those unique to the utility bed.
My no slide Lance 1055 weighs 4600 pounds with kayaks on the roof . Truck, Lance, and two bikes on the front rack plus, us , gear, 3 dogs two full tanks of propane, 45 gallons of fresh water ( 7 in two 3.5 gallon containers for drinking) scale out at 13, 285 pounds
yeah and add another 7000 pounds when I have the fully loaded horse trailer in tow
At what point do you just buy a regular RV and get a decent car to tow behind it, or hell get a toter-home. For what that Dodge plus the camper costs I’m sure you’re into lightly used Freightliner territory, and that those are so much easier to drive than a stupid 16k lb Dodge is going to be.Like this

the point of a truck camper is :
1. if you can park there you are camped. TC's fit into placed that the big boys can't
2. you can tow a boat or a horse trailer or utility trailer and still have a vehicle that can separate from the camper to go places
3. Four wheel drive
4. you can winter camp with no exposed plumbing to freeze.

There is something to be said for getting my Trucks windshield replaced by the glass shop ( All Glass in Dublin Ca) that does our companies fleet. They offer the company fleet discount rate to our employees for their private vehicles. My cost : Glass $125.00, Adhesive-(2.0 Urethane, Dam, Primer $25.00 Labor: $95.00, Tax $13,88 Total price $258.88
interesting...our insurance co. will replace for free if cracked/chipped. it's been nice.
Don't ask me why we don't have that on our auto policy but Ruth ran the numbers and figured out that given how infrequently we have cracked windshields if was more cost effective to go this route. I said the magic words. Yes Dear.

You're gonna want a regular burner, then. You can get a griddle and grill "adapter" that goes on top a regular burner, if you feel the need. We have one like this:
