Cool, I thought it might have a green tint to it. Does it automatically switch to the second tank? If not, is the 52 the primary and 22 is a reserve?

Engine pulls fuel from the 22 gal mid mount tank and as it goes down it is auto filled from the rear 52 gal tank. That is my understanding of it. I filled it and the DEF today and weighed it on the way to the outfitter. Front 5560 and rear 3820 total 9380 with me in the seat and all 3 tanks full. Bed is supposed to weigh about 1200 lbs. Bed should be installed by tomorrow. GVW is 19500 and FAWR is 7250, RAWR is 13500. The stock tires are rated even higher for there respective axles.

That would be handy. Thanks for posting the details about the weights, too!

Mine was 5320 lbs on the front and 4900 lbs on the rear with just my deck,two lower boxes, goose neck and SuperHitch without anyone in the truck. This is a Tradesman trim without the mid tank, so pretty close numbers if you consider all your extras in the cab.

Check your GVWR. The last time I looked, the 60" CA had a slightly lower 19,000 lb rating and the 84" CA got the 19,500 lb ratings.

The rear 111S axle is rated by Dana at 14,500 lbs although Ram derates it to 13,500 lbs. I have not found any other ratings or applications for the front Magna Steyr axle other than Ram's 7250 lb.

Looks nice, but I may have bias in my view.

Nice looking truck. Love the color.

ZB39 has a few more pictures to share before he hits the road for his maiden voyage:

How many others campers will allow you stow the spare in the basement?

Hmm, still plenty of room for other gear...

If it's like mine, he most likely can see light between the pad and overload spring.

Short range FastGuns is all you need to keep the camper on the rubber pad.

I don't have a 7-way connector up front like ZB39:

Looks pretty nice. What’s your height clearance. Looks pretty tall.

Posted By: Bedlam on 03/08/18 03:05pm

Host camper specifications are 9.5' tall and the Ram truck decks are about 3.5' tall. I know mine when loaded sits higher than 13' but is under 13.5', so these specifications are approximations or my tape measure is optimistic.
