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 |

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...:-) -------------------- Phil Saran
