Great tour. I watched specifically bcz you have a bike mount on the back with the step. Wish you had talked about it. It's the big reason I found the arctic fox 865.

New drinking game: Every time someone posts a comment questioning the gap between the camper and the truck because they didn't pay attention to the discussion of this on the video or read the dozen other comments where this was discussed, take a shot. But seriously, thanks for this video. I'm hoping to buy a truck and camper in the not-too-distant future and keep coming back to the AF 865. I want one with the generator, but want more payload than the short bed offers and don't want a dually. So I figured I'd be stuck with the long bed camper. Now, I see that I can max out single wheel payload by getting an F350 long bed with the super cab instead of the crew cab (adds a few hundred lbs. of payload) with the 7.3 gas engine and have the benefit of the extra be space in front of the short bed version of the 865. Weird that I can learn more watching fifteen minute RUclips videos than I did in nineteen years of formal education.

I have a 2021 Lance 850 on a ram 3500 dually. My camper has lights on 3 sides. It also has an electric awning on the passanger side with LED lights on the end when extended. My camper has 2 20 lb propane tanks that last about 7-10 days. I like your camper.

What a great video! I am planning my retirement out and this video has really inspired me. Thank you!

It’s pronounced, Dreer. Glad y’all enjoyed the park and lake. Love your channel!!

Can’t go nowhere. No problem. Good weather for driveway camping.

For the step issue outside of the bathroom....could you get a piece of wood the same size as the current step, carpet it, then attach it to the edge of the current step with hinges in such a way to fold the "new" step on top of the existing? That way, folded up, it would take no more space that the existing step, but when folded out, it would be twice as large. When folded up, it wouldn't block access to the drawer or the panel. (It works in my head, anyway) Good luck!

If you really want a light on the passenger side. If you open the fridge vent, you will find a 12v power source and a large cavity up the backside of the wall. You should be able to mount a light high enough on the exterior wall to meet your needs.

Do you think there is somewhere you can store a couple pairs of skis?

At Wasaga Beach you'd find an East Indian Turd.

Great info! Never been. We’ll have to visit!

Brother nice video. I have a 19’ 990 and have a few suggestions for you. 1. Carry a 5 gal bucket for a step stool for the awning or a trash can. 2. When the awning is extended you don’t need the retractable legs to support it unless it’s really windy in that case you don’t want it out anyway. 3. Just leave the stove vent in the open position I have never closed mine, what for? 4. Quick question, can you remove the rear propane tank while leaving the forward tank in place? 4a. Beware on leaving the change over valve in the “auto” position as you may run out of propane if you don’t pay attention to the position and take it for granted you have enough gas. Better to manually change it yourself that way you absolutely know the first tank is empty and you need to refill it. 5. Adding a separate outside light similar to the “porch light” and the rear light is easily done by picking up 12vdc from your Refer circuit area. Couple guys show which wires to connect up to and install switch on outside. I added an additional switch inside to turn on/off as well. 6. Swap out your micro for a micro, convection, air fryer model. Fits in the same space and we love it. Good on ya for not having the oven and using the (2) drawers instead we did the same. 6a. We demo’d the stovetop and added a (2) burner model as we never used three pots/ pans at once. We replaced the countertop too but that’s another thread. 7. Couple ways to go here. Use a headphone jack cord to connect from your TV to your stereo and use the inside speakers for sound. Or better yet, demo the TV and use a laptop to Bluetooth to your stereo speakers for “surround sound” works great. 8. Swap out the factory pull down shade for an aftermarket one to be able to pull down easily from either side of dinette as opposed to having to pull from the middle. Northwood should do this allready but you know… My rear shade pulls DOWN not up like yours and is a pain to have to open both doors to open/ close. An opening in the screen would eliminate that buy… 9. Might want to install a manual lock for the medicine cabinet as ours used to open up occasionally when off and stuff would spill out so I rigged up a locking-pin for the top left corner and secures the door so it can’t open up. 10. Soft close lid on toilet was classic…

Thanks !

Thanks, guys. Great review. We have a Fantastic Fan. Definitely more work to install the rain cover.

Nice hat! You wear it well!!!!

we had been there early Sept this year. It was a quiet nice campground.

Comment 9 might be right I was blessed to get a sight in Sept lol.😊

Very nice adventure I was there in Sept beautiful place for camping everythg was nice ,shower house has shower doors stay on the south side when I was there ,stayed on the north side will be BK hopefully it a great place beware of alligators in the marsh area/ bridge hope u enjoyed ur stay there. If u like buffet go up the road to Judy/boon great eats if u like ribs

Great video! See you on the road. Oh and it's puh-blah-no.

I think nowadays, TVs are useless inside of travel trailers of any kind for the fact that the people use tablets these days so it’s almost a waste of space

Somewhere there is venomous snakes when its summer and they dont use an arctic fox truck camper as a base camp to ice fish. 😁

Beautiful now that's living love the Blackstone good eating at the campground. Thanks for sharing.♥ cute hat looks good on you 😊

Damn, don't tell everyone. It's already hard to get availability. Ocean Lakes is a cool place though. Just a couple miles north. And no one gonna steal anything from you there. Cook the bacon on the fire, let the grease drip down, don't burn it. No press needed. Too much extra weight for a truck camper. No extra water or milk in eggs, moisture is the enemy of good eggs.

Awesome video 😊 Old school here on outdoor lighting. Coleman dual fuel lanterns and cook stove. We set up on a table outside our flatbed truck camper and cook outside weather permitting like ya’ll do also. Keeping the bacon grease outside whenever possible. Hay looks good 👍 Thanks for sharing your outings with us.

A great video and very informative

Awesome video, I’m the guy with the red F250.

Let's get ready for the next trip !

The remote uses an A23 battery for those that don't know.

I'm on my second AF camper. My first was an 811 that I owned for 10+ years. I have a 2018 992 right now, which I bought in 2020.

Three questions... 1. Can you still use the door to squeeze into the camper with the bike and mount still on? ie. lunch at a rest stop or a quicky overnight on the road? (Walmart, rest stop, truck stop?) 2. Does the front bike seem to affect the throw/reflection from the headlights? 3. Does the front bike seem to affect the cooling of the truck at all?

Heck yeah I would live there awesome

Chattahoochee national Forest?

Really enjoying getting to watch you guys. Hope to see you along our travels, or again at D&H rally. Did you by chance spend any time at the North Campground? Thoughts? We have reservations there the end of March.

Got side tracked so shorted 865 with a long bed truck correct.

Yeah that's what I will be doing full time. Just me and my mountain Feist maybe a another sail boat or side by side

Yes Sir have been enjoying you all videos , use to do a lot of sailing at lake Jordan. I thought I saw in one of your videos. That you run a long bed truck with 865 short bed artic fox

I can’t believe how unfriendly the woman is in this video. She looks like she’s made at the world. She should find something else to do. She’s not happy what she is doing for sure sure

Lovely pk I went there in Sept to camp beautiful experience lovely place for kid also the a castle of hunting very interesting nice to take a group family members etc. watch out for alegator in the bridge marsh area it posted.esp at night.

Funny i didn't think any state parks had hookups. It is very nice. Can't recall, how much per nite here? 🍻

Beautiful drone footage guys. I wish state parks In Indy had concrete pads and full hookups. Very few of them do .

Question? Why wouldn't you want the camper to sit more on the bed? Would a longer truck bed work better

Hi, my name is Stewart. I'm using my wife's RUclips channel. I have actually been questioned by a Virginia state policeman regarding camping with my slides out. Yes, that is correct. If you have your slides in and you're at a rest area or you're at whatever you're considered resting and they'll leave you alone pretty much. But when you pull your slides out they'll come over and they'll ask you questions saying well. You need to put your slides in cuz they're a kinda in the way. Again, this was in the state of Virginia. I've never had that problem. That was with my motor coach 22 newmar ventana motor coach my truck camp. I have an Arctic fox 1150. I can use it without the slide in or without the slide out. Whichever all right. It's a beautiful camper though. The mammoth is Big but my artix Fox actually weighs more. I believe my truck campering is right now sitting at about 5,500 lb on my 2024 Ram 3500 crew cab long bed dually with the factory air ride and it's okay. I did have to buy some King very high dampen hydraulic shocks and my ride has gotten way better!!

We are from Asheboro NC

Happy Holidays Y’all 🤙🏼🤠🎄

Loved it. Ready to go back ! I'm driving more next time. !
