Brad, I have the hardest time loading one of these campers on my quad cab truck. The reason is there is a complete blind spot. Now I have learn is you put some painter tape right smack in the middle, then measure the middle of your bed and simply follow the tape in. It's a breeze I am told. Honestly though i have not tried it. lol
One of your best videos to date. I have been curious about this and the jack systems. Have a 2150rb now but really don’t want to tow all that down south from Michigan. So this is ideal for that.
Awesome! I had to learn that on my own. 2002 Chevy 3500 Crew with 2002 Lance 11 footer. I still have the truck cuz I outgrew the Lance. Truck pulls a 30 ft Jayco 5th wheel now. I do miss the Lance though.
Do. The airbags always keep the camper level so I don’t need leveling blocks? Within reason of course. The truck I ordered just happens to also be a F-350 in that Lithium color. I wasn’t going to go with that graphic, but now that I see it on the truck I really like it. Did he have the Camper Package on his truck as well? The Ford dealer said I wouldn’t need air with the Camper Package. Probably overkill and a waste of money, but if the camper can be leveled with them it would be worth it to me. Thanks. Brad for these awesome videos. Looking forward to meeting you.
We’ve heard there should be something in the bed of the truck for the camper to rest on. We didn’t see anything like that in your video. When would it be needed?
I deliver these campers to dealerships. It's a pain at first, then it becomes easier and easier. 1st. Level your truck if equipped with airbags. I put 110 psi. yours might be different. 2nd. Raise camper about 4 inches above truck bed. 3rd. Slowly back into camper. Using the truck bed bumps as guidance and the bottom corner of the camper. Leave about 1 1/2 inches of space. (before you back in all the way stop when the corner of the bottom of camper is almost touching the bump,) 4th. Put truck on parking and get out of truck. check the passenger side to see if you have room to clear the other bump before proceeding. Also make sure the camper is high enough to clear the round pieces of metal where back bed door hooks on. if you find that you are backing up a little crooked, with truck on and Parking mode, turn steering wheel and adjust wheels before jumping back in. Once is alined continue backing in, but just enough that you pass the bumps and stop. Put truck on Parking again to plug in electrical cord (make sure you check flashers, turn signals and marker lights). If you have to, get out every couple of inches you back in and check if you are going in straight. 5th. continue backing and stop about 3 inches to 3 1/2 before you hit the back wall of bed. 6th. Almost done. with camper still lifted 4 inches from bed. go around and make sure you are about 2 inches away from taillights, (the reason is because when you start dropping it, you might crack your taillights and damage your camper). 2-3 inches from back wall of bed. and that you have about 1 1/2 inches from metal pieces where back bed door hooks on. (upper inner part of taillights) Once clear start lowering it slowly and walk around to inspect that everything is being cleared. also get familiar with remote. some legs move faster than other, you have to keep adjusting. the rest self explanatory. good luck hope this helps.

Reflective tape works great for times you maybe loading in low light conditions!

Do they make an extension cord to reach the plug at the rear of the box instead of having to install one at the front?

Can you put an 1181 on a F250 super duty truck? If so, do you recommend air bags and leaf spring upgrade?
Could you leave a headache rack on the truck with this model?
What was that rod on the bummer Hitch.
Where can we find a drill bit to operate the legs on a 2018 model 1172?
The hard part is backing the truck just right!
What do you like better on a F350 dually? Air bags or Torklift suspension Rubber blocks and Spring helpers?
Airbags, they’re adjustable
We’ve heard there should be something in the bed of the truck for the camper to rest on. We didn’t see anything like that in your video. When would it be needed?
We use a rubber bed mat in the bed for ours to sit on, this customer didn’t have one yet.
@@itsbrad another question…how would we troubleshoot one jack not working? 2018 Lance 1172
should the camper sit on the bed rails of the truck, or the bottom of the truck bed??
Sits in the bed of the truck
I'm assuming the 6.7-Liter V8 turbo-diesel would be the necessary F-350 engine.
Bingo
Was new owner buying truck too. You said he was flying into your location?
He had the Truck shipped to us from a dealer and flew in to take delivery
Is there something for raptors？
I do not believe so, the way the raptors suspension is set up, but I will look into it the Raptors specs.
That’s a lot of $ rollin down the road! Lol beautiful setup though ✌🏻🇨🇦
smalltownmoto 1 ......Those that die with the MOST TOYS
WIN...!!!
can you access the camper/move around.with the slides in?
Negative
How much does the 1172 cost?
Starts around $51k
@@itsbrad 51k is too much
Disappointed how to align the truck to camper was not addressed and the keep in alignment.
Back underneath, use mirrors to watch jacks
