Beautiful looking set up. I had looked at those pop ups, but could never get the 'Warden' convinced...

 

Seabiscuit sorry for your loss of the camper. That truck parked next to you looked pretty nasty. Honestly when I first saw the photos, it had that look too it. Then again it could have been an electrical issue with the truck like the cruise controls on certain Ford models years ago. However, I find it odd the truck caught fire in the middle of the night and in a yard with no security plus the rental/storage yard is being well cautious which could mean they know something or they don't want to admit to something. Unfortunately, lawyering up might be the only way to get resolution in your case.

I know where I park my trailer, they have security cameras, insurance for everything. I have an agreement that's multiple pages long about how things are secured and insured. I pass by every so often and nothing appears to be touched. This place is a multi functional yard. There is a car dealer, trailer owners, heavy equipment, and the like. It seemed the RV guys were parked in one place, the heavy equipment guys in another and so forth. The car guy has about a dozen what appears to be auction type cars in his corner and nothing super pricey. The owner has inside storage for more valuable stuff. All that is lock and key plus if there is any issue the guy calls immediately. I know my storage lot advertising they are fully insured and the like.

 

eight0six, nice, that was the same color scheme as mine.

 

This was an RV Sales lot where we had the Lance on consignment. If a pending deal fell through we had begun promising talks with another lot 30 miles away for a trade of the Lance plus the Alpenlite Santa Fe 1150 Limited for a 2014 Lance 1062.


Pretty sure something really fishy is going on. Even though they have been retired, my LEO spidey senses are tingling on full alert. Talked to a claims taker twice now, and he has no explanation as to why it has been 14 days since a claim was opened up and the adjuster hasn't contacted me.


We're going to see about contacting an attorney and the State Insurance Commissioners Consumer Affairs Office tomorrow. Wife has a doctors appointment that may interfere, but that is the joy of being retired...there is always the day after, no work to interfere.

Usually if the camper isn't being stored out on the ranch or farm, we do have a rental compound storage area for it. In fact I just dropped our 2005 Alpenlite off there this afternoon. Full camera coverage, high slatted cyclone fence with a concertina wire top and a key code gate access. Access pad is shut down with no entry between 1900 and 0700. Ken can sit in his office and watch camera's or bring them up on his smart phone no matter where he is. I'm pretty sure if it would have happened in our storage lot, things would be happening.


We still have this one so we are at least not winter camping in a tent....

 

Eagle Cap 1200 on a F-350 DRW. I added air bags to the truck.

 

Mike, what is the length of your truck's bed? I can't tell. The camper makes the truck look kind of small.

 

The truck has an 8 foot bed. The truck looks small because the camper is enormous:12 feet, 3 slides, king bed, dry bath,

 

camper looks crazy large

 

Do your back doors clear the camper jacks for getting into/out of the back seat?

 

That puppy weighs about 5000# dry according to the manufacturer. What does the weight sticker from Eagle Cap say after accessories?

 

 

i was on their website for the fanciest one its 39k retail

 

Great looking rig! I agree that camper is huge and makes your dually look a lot smaller than it really is! Enjoy!

 

almost looks like a toyota pickup trying to haul a regular size pickup camper.
