It is amazing how much work goes into this game we love. Nice to have a support crew at home but being on the road and doing most everything yourself is a ton of work and dedication. Great job!

Richard Hamilton There is a lot that goes into it when you step back look at the big picture. Definitely a labor of love so to speak. Thank you for the kind words!

James, awesome video! I should have watched this months ago, sorry. Very cool setup for you and other Pro Anglers and maybe, also good for my plans. Really appreciate you breaking down each of the steps and what's required to connect the camper to the truck so we can travel safely! Really helpful James, thanks so much for sharing!

Nice set up! Thanks for going through it as it is easier than I thought.

Greyhunter thanks, once you get familiar with the process it’s pretty simple.

James your Vlog's are always very interesting. Very good teacher and story teller! Look forward to the next.

M Allison sure appreciate the compliment. New to all this so it means a lot and glad you enjoy them

Awesome setup! Did you have to do any suspension mods for the 825 (airbags)? I’m looking at the same setup and trying to understand what to plan for. Also, how long is your super hitch extension? 36” ? Thank you!

Scott Fast I fortified with a Timbren suspension helper kit and it works great. The truck already came with beefier off road Bilstiein shocks so when coupling that with the Timbrens its rides nice! Also I’ve went the airbag route before and continually had problems with them leaking.

Scott Fast Oh the super hitch extension I believe is 24 inches. I’d have to double check though to be sure.

Thanks James! I fantasize about retiring and getting a bass boat and towing it with a truck with a camper. I've always wondered though how one gets everything loaded up. Now I know! God Bless You! Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."

John Kent thank you glad you liked it, Blessings brother!

Great video...would love one on the truck setup. I truck camper and boat tow...upgrading the truck would love to hear truck set up and thoughts on dual wheel vs the single axle you did....

That is one Sweet Setup James. Love , Love that Truss Extension for Towing your Ranger behind your Lance Camper in your Truck. What a great Rig while your out at Campgrounds on the FLW . What a Blessing to have that. The Lord Jesus is Amazing , and he Always Provides for us in So many ways. Thanks for Taking the Time and showing Us your Personal Setup . Have a Blessed Day in The Lord Jesus Christ. "May the Lord Bless You and Keep; May The Lords Face Shine Upon You and may He be Graciuos to You , and May He Grant You His Peace James. Numbers 6:24-26 😁👍👍

Steven Werth thanks, It’s a blessing for sure and thankful to run a rig like this and not have to stay in motels.

@James Niggemeyer Fishing The Camper/ Camping is Way better for Sure then doing the Motel thing. Totally Agree, Myself and my Family are Campers All the way over Motel / Hotels . We Love being Outdoors in the Lords Creation . But Your Set up looks just Perfect for what you need it to do and be James. 😁👍

I thought the 825 was a queen bed. But maybe not on your model. I've been looking at the 825. I upgraded the suspension on my Tacoma just in case

Not Woke Enough yes it is a queen but mine was pre-owned (1year) and the guy upgraded some things and that was one of them.

It comes with a queen but there is ample room to upgrade wider on each side since there are no low cabinets.

Ok, I am looking at doing the same rig. I have a 21Ft Ranger boat and I want to buy a Super Duty or similar that will carry the camper and handle the tongue weight! Did you choose this truck because it handles all the weight (both combined) or how did you decided? I worry about pulling hills and performance and got going over weight.

rage5606 I chose this truck because I have owned a Ford F-350 Dually with a Lance 1181 and Torklift 48” extension and ran that rig 8+ weeks a year for years and wanted to downsize and minimize things for a simplified work environment and I am much happier. Asgard as trucks I have several friends who like the RAM trucks so I have it a try. I think I prefer the Ford but the RAM is nice too. It handles the boat and truck fine even on steep grades

@James Niggemeyer Fishing I want it to be a smaller package as well. Just looking for something with an air-conditioning but that means a bigger camper if I want a generator on board. Otherwise I guess I gotta buy one to carry along and thats extra weight too. Just been reading that too many people dont check the weights and find that the truck they pick is fine for the camper, but once you add the boat they are either over weight or the performance of the truck is so reduced that they regret the truck. Hoping to find that perfect combo of truck/camper/weight so that my wife and I can enjoy retirement and see the country with ease. I guess half the fun in searching! Thanks for the response!

Do you know what the payload capacity of your dodge is?

Brother thats a sweet set-up you have there ! Very nice

Thanks Darrell!

@James Niggemeyer Fishing your welcome bud ! Good luck on your tournaments! Go smash them !

What length super truss did you get? thanks

Thanks for that info. It will be useful for me. How you like the lance brand

What kind of truck to you have and what's the towing capacity, I always wanted to camp but wanted to bring our 27 ft crestline with us but I never thought I could find away to do this..thanks fir the video ...

Truck is a 3/4 ton Ram short bed diesel

Did you do any suspension modifications to your truck?

Yes I utilized the Timbren spring helper, plus the truck comes with Bilatein shock system

So can you still get to the spare tire underneath the pickup?

okpanhandlr Yes sir yes you can

Quick question. Is your mega cab a 3/4 ton or 1 ton?

It’s a Mega Cab 3/4 ton

What year is your camper?

I want this setup to pull my Jeep

Very nice

What kinda mileage do you get?

Kyle Lee I’m getting about around 10-11 with the camper and towing

Title says 825 but it’s an 851? Confused.

Yes sorry about that it’s an 825

Unless you have 19.5s on that truck I bet you are overloaded. Trust me, you don't want to find that out the hard way.

Maybe but what’s a 19.5s?

@James Niggemeyer Fishing 19.5s are commercial size truck tires/rims. They have much higher load capacities, but are the same overall diameter as your regular wheels. They cost a little more, but they typically last a lot longer. I put them on my truck after I had a rim come apart at about 65mph. Not fun. For your safety, and the safety of other drivers you should verify what kind of load you have on your rear axle, and make sure the axle, tires, and rims are up to it. Factory tires and rims usually aren't, and driving to a scale while loaded is the only way to know for sure. I wish RV sales people would mention this to customers, but you know how sales people are.

Oh ok thank you for the valuable information

@Niskibum Airbags, sway bar, 10ply tires and these single axle trucks will handle this all day long, never heard of wheels blowing out but thx for the info.

@D Fort the truck is only as strong as the weakest link. Do you know the load capacity of your rims? Driving down the highway at 60 is not the time to find out. Airbags, sway bar, 10 ply tires will do absolutely nothing to increase the capacity of your rims, or your axles. One of my "heavy duty" rims split right down the middle at speed, and I had air bags, sway bar, and 12 ply tires. That's when I switched to 19.5s. I want to prevent other people from having that bad of a day too.

OMG! I love your name!! Lmmfao!! Have they not tried to cancel culture you yet from youtube?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸
