Why I bought a Truck Camper | Arctic Fox 992

[@usmcshepherdE9]

Great setup...I think this is the perfect setup...much easier to travel with too.

[@deltabravo1257]

Definitely!

I agree with your reasoning. In addition to my 42' fifth wheel, I have a 2020 Arctic Fox 992, which is a lot more convenient for weekend trips and short getaways. I am looking to buy a similar cargo trailer to yours and for similar reasons. Thanks for sharing and posting your video.

7' wide is the best option for a cargo trailer behind a truck camper. 6' wide is annoying because you can's see it, which makes backing into a campsite very difficult.

The smaller definitely has it's advantages. We are full time and have a Class A Motorhome. There are times where a smaller setup would be better in oarticular situations.

I WISH I HAD YOUR HELP TO WORK ON MINE

How did it drive with the 20x8.5 trailer? Thinking of doing something similar for a race car. My camper is probably around the same weight 4-4.5k wet.

[@deltabravo1257]

When I owned the 8.5x20 trailer, I had an Arctic Fox 811, which is a foot shorter than my current camper, a 992. It towed fine with light loads such as camping gear and motorcycles. I once towed my very well built Jeep TJ Rubicon (in 2012) in the trailer while hauling the truck camper. It was NOT a pleasant experience. I never did that again. It was way too much weight to tow while also hauling the truck camper, with the truck in this video, which is the same truck I still own in 2024.

@@deltabravo1257 Thanks for the response. I have a 99 Dodge DRW 3500. My camper is about 11'9 and 4-4.5k wet. I'm looking to tow my 20x8.5 trailer with a 1500 lb race car and two enduro bikes; about ~5500 total trailer weight. I'm debating if it's even worth trying since getting the superhitch setup is 2-3k.

TOY HAULER? What is that?

[@Stevanavich725]

It’s like a combo towed camper/cargo box

[@deltabravo1257]

Looks up Desert Fox 21SW. That's the toy hauler I owned before I downsized to a truck camper. It's a towable RV with a big open cargo area in the back.
