TRUCK CAMPER Welding Steel to Replace Wood Rot in Front of Camper

    • @alecelouviere
      @alecelouviere 16 днів тому

      Ah yes. I'm adding weight to the front on purpose to offset the COG of the camper. Think of this as a custom rig that is approximately 4500 pounds complete. My truck can handle up to 7000 pounds on the rear. When the camper is on the back the truck sits level. Thanks for the grest comment. Keep watching. We will address your comment in the next video this week.

      If we were going to be putting back wood, you would be correct, but we decided to go a different route and use steel. The only wood will be on the inside due to weight we needed to add to the front to change the COG of the camper to meet DOT guidelines. But thank you so much for your comment and watching. Enjoy the rest of it and let us know what you think.

    • @noeldowling7786
      @noeldowling7786 Місяць тому

      I need the COG to move forward in order to be on center of my tire location this is the reasoning for adding weight to the front .. the original COG is located behind my rear tire at current time because it's a truck camper designed for an eight foot bed and my truck had a six foot bed.. now the new flat bed is eight feet so it fits perfectly once I'm finished the COG should be perfect just to the front of center of rear axle.

    Enjoying your videos. I am starting the same thing this month on a 2009 Travel Lite 1000 SLRX Ultra. It is exactly the same inside and out. And with the exact same issues all started by leaks in the front cab over roof. Are you sure yours is a Palomino? The 1000 SLRX Ultra is a Travel Lite brand name. If it is a Palomino, one of the brands copied the other exactly.
