In an effort to have an all in one type setup for the race track that I could also use for little camping trips we set out to pick up a new truck camper. I wanted one that could fit in the bed of the truck with the tailgate closed to make it easier to tow a trailer without a hitch extension etc so the Cirrus 620 fit the bill with my F350 short bed.

I had gotten the truck before really looking into truck campers but even with a long bed there aren't many options that don't have the rear overhang and also on the lighter side. Otherwise the 620 fits nicely without any extra height requirements to clear the roof and antennas (I had ordered a bed mat but didn't come in time for pick up). In the short bed there is plenty of room for the camper to sit and close the tailgate.

Before getting the camper I did add the hellwig rear sway bar which was a nice improvement even without the camper and with how much you can feel the camper in the corners I definitely wouldn't want to go without it.

I brought it home and weighed it on my scales via the jacks and it came in ~1800 lbs which is basically the lightest it would ever be. It did have some water in it for testing everything but otherwise was basically as empty as it gets and was over the "dry" 1,537 lbs weight (though its not clear if that weight is before the options of A/C, Awning and microwave).

The next day I took it to the track for the first little test run. MPG wise I was actually about dead even with towing just the trailer which I was happy with. The 7.3L godzilla engine didn't really care about the extra weight as well which was nice.
Looking forward to more adventures ahead and learning more of the ins and outs of truck camping.
