Hi,
Just joined the forum after buying a 2004 F250 4x4 Super Cab Powerstroke with a 2003 Fleetwood Elkhorn 9T. Both the F250 and the truck campers are pretty rare here in Scotland which makes it tricky to find much advice on them.
Anyway. I was wondering if this model of truck camper would fit on a 2008 F350 4x4 dually, or would the legs be too narrow for the truck to reverse under? Has anyone got a similar set-up, or would the dually be total overkill for this camper? Am I right in thinking that the dually will be more stable and less likely to bog down in muddy fields?
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
It may be a bit late since it is almost Oct now, but although Fleetwood no
longer manufactures truck campers the only items you need to switch
over to a dually truck is a set of camper jack brackets to move the front
jacks out for clearance of the dually fenders on the rear. You should be
able to go on-line to purchase said brackets over the internet.
As for a dually being better in a muddy field, maybe yes, maybe no.
I guess it depends on how muddy we are talking about...:-)
