We bought the 1987 SunLINE, but are having serious doubts about our F150 hauling it.
Not sure what was going on with me for the last post, but the our truck is a short bed and the camper is for an 8 ft bed. Guy we are getting it from hauls it on his Ram 2500 with a short bed, tailgate down, but he said it is extremely heavy. He said he could feel it pretty good using his 2500, which makes us worry about our F150 even more.
I have a 02 F-150 king cab, and short bed..... My camper is a Sun Lite... When I haul my camper, I have to leave my tailgate down.... I also put ''Firestone Airbags'' on my truck, and it really helped!, and I always tow a boat when we go camping.
You might have to put ''airbags'' on your truck...IMHO

We have been looking at getting a F250 for a while now and this is cementing the idea. Having trouble finding a good deal on a diesel, which is what we perfer. Should we settle for a gas? What are your experiences with them? Did you opt of diesel or gas and why?
Thanks in advance!
ps - We need a cable to connect the camper lights to the truck wiring system. Anyone have a name for what we are looking for? Also, is there any type of adapter that would allow two sets of wiring to be connect to the truck. One for the camper and one for our bass boat trailer?
I've been looking at new F-250 diesel trucks for a couple months now..... I also tow a 20ft trailer with a John Deere tractor on it with my F-150, and it handles it great, But I have always wanted a F-250 diesel.... A diesel is the right way to go if you do a lot of hauling/towing!!!
I'm just having a hard time deciding on a ''crew cab'', or just a king cab.... If I get a crew cab long bed.... That will be a long truck!!!
On your plug:..... Doesn't your F-150 have a ''4 pin connector'' from the factory ??
My 02 F-150 came with one, and I put a 7 pin on for my equipment trailer.... On my camper I have a ''7 pin plug'', and also wired another ''4 pin'' from it, and I can use any of the two when I pull my boat.
I can take a picture if you want to see it ??
