great job stevie wonder

Glad you finally got to this area of the UP where I live. I was here a month ago with my Four Wheel Pop Up Camper and it was wonderful!

Don't think I saw this one! last January while looking at the ATIII. Your presentation is excellent, and your reasons for choosing this tire and in this size mirror my criteria almost exactly, although for two different environments. I use mine on pavement getting to the various dirt and sand conditions of the great Mojave desert. I drive the 1/2 ton little brother to your truck and it's wheels are 17". I had been running the ubiquitous 285/70-17 on a zero-offset 8.5" wheel and even with a front suspension lift had a little tire rub. Since I don't modify my vehicles to the extent I USED to (rigs are so well designed these days all they need for daily driver use are better dampers, wheels, tires and oil changes. Maybe a slight exhaust system enhancement) I spend the dough on WHEELS (something you said you weren't doing and do not need to). I went to the METHOD 705 17 X 8.5" but in a 25mm offset to bring the wheel width back within the fender vertical line but still have a more aggressive track width than the factory wheel... I wanted a 10" wide tire, not an 11.5 like I had been running... and I wanted taller. Bingo! Toyo offers the 34 X 10.50 X R17LT in a D Load Range! Tire measures 33.5", weighs 55 lbs and the cost is in line with everything else. I too think it about the most-aggressive All Terrain tire and every Rough Terrain tire (the new hybrid type before stepping up to a Mud Terrain) were much heavier. VERY HAPPY with my choice! There's no more rubbing! and it's a taller tire! Win/win. Thanks again for a great vid! and I hope that two years in to these you're still happy. Would love to hear from you here in the comments. Safe travels to you.

You must have incredibly strong forearms from all the hand screwing

You do a great job with your videos!! Thank you.

Thanks for the video! I assume you can get any size rig in this campground with somewhere to turn around? I checked campendium website and no info there for size of rig? Thank you.

When storing do you connect the camper to shore power?

Great idea, I now use a jam nut, but will add add lock nut.

This might stop the turnbuckle from turning. You could also just put a jam nut on it. You could still get loose turnbuckles if they stretch though.

I have the Fleet camper and periodically have to check for loosening… good tip 👍🏼

This is smart. Good job.

Mine does it,but I just disconnect both batteries and reset the trucks computer and it's back ro normal

Is this camper on your Ford full time? Assuming you could tighten the rear ratchets down enough, so you see any issues with them?

I just got these on a sock suspension 2017 sierra. 285/55 R20 they only rub on full lock but only in the inner carpet thing and not even alot. All i did was tie it back with a zip tie and now no rubbing at all. Only reason i got them was because its one of the only things i will add to my truck. I wont be adding a two inch leveling kit either. The tires make very minimal noise compared to other truck i hear down the road. I was either going between nittos or these but alot of people said nittos suck on wet roads after some time and thats all i mostly do. Use it for the road. I did see that sams sells toyo tires a/t 275s but still decided to go with the 285s since i test fitted them and saw that it was an easy fix. edit: yea i could of gone with the 275 but it didnt rubb with any plastic or metal and i took the mud flapps off, if i ''tow" its only to carry things around. If i used the truck for truck things i woud of gone with the 275 but I use it as a daily just to ride around town from point A to point B Great Video BTW

Way to get after it! And finally, someone who is not afraid to drill holes through the outside walls. Thanks for bringing us along on your build!

Skinny tires=more pressure per cubic inch. And looks good 👍

FYI tires that wear fast have have softer rubber and are less likely to slide when you need them most. Just saying

Thank you for great video helpful

Thanks to your excellent data this is going to be interesting for me. I pull a 16 ft Scamp and have considered buying a Four Wheel Camper and have wondered what kind of fuel mileage I could expect. My Scamp has an air conditioner on top and is just a bit taller than my truck. I took a trip last fall from Wisconsin to the middle of Montana pulling the Scamp and have decent MPG data and am looking forward to comparing those results with yours. It should give me a pretty good idea what I could expect carrying a 4-Wheel Camper. A big variable in the UP and traveling in the west is wind velocity and direction but other than adjusting travel dates there's no way of remedying that problem. Nice job collecting and collating the data. Maybe we'll see each other in the Porkies. And thanks for the rapid response to my question.

What do you get for fuel mileage? Before and after if you have the data (truck with and without camper).

Where's the dog?

Love the campground reviews and your setup! Any sites open in the front yard? ; )

Nice. I like what you do.

Great. I'm watching from Clinton Township, MI. I'm planning on heading up to the UP in a few days for some rustic spot tent camping with my D-O-G. I might check out your spot, but I normally don't go that far West. Thanks for the video. Rustic Michigan lakes of that size are so beautiful.

Glad you're back! I'm getting ready to take my Hawk Four Wheel rig to some campgrounds west of Newberry soon.

My 2004 VW phaeton V8 boat sedan (5k pounds car) does 21.6 average, 70% highway life on plus. Now ill need a truck. Gas mileage i got used to 😅

Bed cover should add 1+ MPG

Winter blend gas has ethanol, LOTS of Ethanol.

Awesome. great video bro. Keep up the great work. Work hard play harder 💪🏽

Thanks for the vid ! Helps me on my decision for my 2020 f250 super cab like yours ..

Grainger has discontinued this spring. I will be near one later today, hope to maybe get something close. Any ideas on an alternate source?

I have a 2012 F-250 Lariat 4x4 Crew Cab with 8ft bed with 33x12.5x18 Tires ... I'm getting on average with 87 octane and I get 13.9 hwy/9.9 in town with no load. Pulling my 20ftx8.5ftx7.5ft cargo trailer/toy hauler I get 9.5mpg 😢

Nice video. Where did you get that small hand pump?

Thank you for allowing this old man to live vicariously through you. Thank You.

You're saving gas driving 54 mph but wasting time driving so slow....a 7 hr trip is going to take you 13 hours.

Fyi The vault toilets were replaced and upgraded in 2023. There are thimbleberries in the campsite when in season.

What gauge wire did you use?

On mine it stuck on reverse. I pulled the white piece below the shifter and I detected the cable is loose. Under the vehicle, I found the cable loose direct on transmission, the bolt have no nut. This cable goes direct on transmission, the piece on left side make the shifter positions. I hope it help someone! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless

Id like to see this at 75 mph

Well done thanks!

Looks amazing. Appreciate your channel & all the details!

Question..we love UP..usually go to state forest campgrounds...we recently got a National Park for National forest...what Park would you recommend that is quiet and not crowded

17.5 on superduty is good. My 3.5 ecoboost 3.55 gears was getting 22 mpg when I purchased it. That’s with stock tires and stock suspension. I put a leveling kit on it and a bed rack tent. It went down to 18.5 mpg. I then put duratrek mt tires 32”(taller tires and 8 ply) and it dropped to 16.5. So if your truck is stock it’s doing better than the ecoboost with slightly smaller tires on the ecoboost.

My 2019 F250 6.2 crew cab 4x4 gets 10-11 MPG @ 70 MPH! NOBODY DRIVES 55 MPH😂 HAVING STEEL UTILITY TOPPER, TOOLS, WATER,6 STEEL 5GALLON GAS TANKS +++ Sits at 8,300 pounds & 90,000 miles with 3.73 gear ratio using the regular (NOT PREMIUM) GAS., SAME TIRES YOU HAVE. Imma retired Carpenter and Love this Longbed Crew Cab ❤ F California $$5-$6 gas! I buy gas in Arizona @ about $3.50 a gallon, gonna sale my house too! F California!

Drove past the campground every time we went up to Del Les Resort at Little Lake. Thank you! This brought back great memories!

Wow! This is impressive! Love what you did with it!

Great video and great selection I think. Have they treated you well in Winter?
