Talking lets see some dents with campers..

I just got the camper bug.
Would love to see everyone else's camping rigs.

Post up your mods
And weight, if u know.




I'll start...

1977 F250 460 C6. And 3.56 gears (i think)- Hellwig 2500lb overload springs
And a Tranny cooler.
No idea on the weight yet.
Hopefully she will make her maiden voyage memorial day weekend.

I just love me a house-truck! Glad to see you've got it on there. Looks good man. Sadly I don't have a camper for mine. Until I do, it's the tent for me!

Does towing a camper count?
I've got my '74 Ranger XLT Trailer Special hooked up to my camper right now. Got it pulled around to the front yard ready to go tomorrow. Taking it up to my parents house so they can go camping this coming weekend.

Sorry, the sun kinda ruined the picture.

Nothing looks better than a Dentside with a matching year camper on it!

Neat camper! What kind/year is that? Fiberglass by the look of it. And fyi I think that middle running light in front needs to be amber; I'm pretty sure red is for the back only.
