Must be over 8 ft bed? If I remember right it needs to be about 8’6” to get ramps out from under the 1000 or ramp mount under the bed.
That’ll be a damn nice setup, be nice to not need trailer for a day ride somewhere else. I like it!

It is an 8'6" long bed 97" wide. The P1K just fits, like everything else in life, 6" more would have been nice

REVARC HD 8 ft ramps, rated 2500 lbs got them 4 yrs ago with my P500. From RMATV.COM

That gives me hope. I’m looking at a 10’ set rated at 2,700 lbs. to load my P500 into the bed of my F350. I was really hoping the angle would be reasonable and the weight rating was overkill enough for my liking.

Yes, but I only drive the truck 150 miles a week instead of 4,000 now.

No more camper hauling?

No need to, working 7 miles from home at Eagle Rock Resort and Campground, run by same family as RRB.

@JACKAL I have been contemplating this same type of setup for a few years. A flat bed on the truck is the best thing I have done to my old ranch truck. The slide in camper give a lot of versatility. Just need to get the boss on the board with the extra small quarters!
I will make a point to bring her by in Colorado!

The versatility and storage / transport options is exactly why I went with this setup combination. If I want to bring toys and tools hook up the enclosed trailer. Just want to camp at a non riding area can literally camp anywhere you can park a dually pickup. Camper goes on and off in 5 minutes. Can use flatbed for nearly anything including hauling a P1K without a trailer.

Trick is to let her make the decision lol. Just be damn Jackal that’s nice and let him explain how nice it is and all the benefits to you guys.

It will be easy to get the boss on board @Tramguage1 , just tell her that there will be less area for her to keep clean.

I had to replace my deep cycle batteries in the camper today. They were both dated 2012 & 2013 so, I figure that’s been a decent run. I was using two Group 31 AGM’s. I used to have them installed in my expedition trailer way before I bought my Truck camper. I decided to go with Interstate Batteries mainly because there’s a big dealer near home. These have a free replacement in three years if they go bad and were $353 each after turning in the old cores. The last two nights here were very warm and the lights, fans and refer were all slowly running poorly. It was time...
Pix are the old and the new.
