QUOTE(mh45472 @ Aug 31 2009, 12:50 PM) I have heard of people making several lap jointed X's out of 3/4" plywood. They would fold flat for storage & travel. One caution, I recently looked into pop-up TC's and learned that Palomino does not recommend using their TC's off truck. Northstar says it's OK. I am not sure about Starcrafts but make sure the manufacturer recommends using the TC off truck first.  THANK YOU. MIGHT WORK, BUT STILL LOOKING FOR MORE SUGGESTIONS ALSO. |

QUOTE(tnrc4 @ May 19 2009, 05:56 AM) I want to increase the payload of my 07 Toyota tundra. I have been told about airbags and Rancho shocks. is this the best way? What about extra leaf springs? How much of a payload increase can i expect to get? Also I'm looking to get a used truck camper under 2000 lbs for around $5000. Any reccommendations? I would have to have a bathroom with a shower. Tony Tony, I just bought a used starcraft pop-up truck camper. You should be looking at pop-up truck campers for your Tundra. I also drive a 2007 Tundra Dbl cab 4wd 5.7L. My camper's dryweight is 1500lbs, wet is 1700+. This puts it right at the Max GVWR for the Tundra. To my knowledge which is limited, No amount of airbags, leaf springs etc. will allow you to carry more then the manufacturer GVWR legally. My Tundra carried this camper home from the prior owners, a trip of 240 miles, like it was custom made for the truck. I couldn't even tell I was hauling it. Just a heads up. |

Hello everyone. My wife and I just purchased a used 2007 Starcraft Pop-up Truck camper. I am hauling it on a 2007 Toyota Tundra 4wd 5.7L, and to get it home was a piece of cake. Now I need to come up with long-term storage supports, as the owners manual indicates the jacks are to only be used for loading/offloading. I would like something that can come with us easily as we travel so the truck might be able to be used for site-seeing. Loaded weight should be around 1700 lbs. Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated. ANYBODY, PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS. WHAT DO YOU USE? Thanks in advance. |
