Nice and clean setup, do you have to uprgrade the suspension to sustain the weight of the camper?

Thank you. Yes, I upgraded the springs all around. My goal was to keep it about stock height but with the extra weight. Deaver supplied the rear components that do the real work.

thanks for the great video very informative after watching all 3 video .can you do more plz. awesome setup

Very nice setup.

Great photography and lighting on the that opening shot!

That is such a sweet looking setup! Just purchased a Tremor, thinking about the Raven, can you tell me how you have liked it all this time? Assuming you still have it?? Thanks for any input, my local dealer is asking 46K all in with suspension upgrades, sheez!!

Really sweet. I wonder if a pooper would fit in that cabinet by the door. It's color reduces the heat load from the 100° heat, and look at the wiring! It's at least 10k more than the empty similar campers, but I would go with this. It's pretty much turnkey.

Great looking set up! And beautiful opening shot! The camper fits the short box really well. Good to know I've got options for my 21' F150 with a 5.5ft box. Wondering if you considered air bags for the rear?

Thanks for the comment! I didn't need it with the leaf spring setup on the Gen 2. I had HD Deavers on it and it carried the weight perfectly! My new 21 Raptor has coils in the rear, and to use the same camper, I did add HD springs and airbags.

Great ride! Sorry to hear about the Cam Phaser issue. Did you have to add any air bags to level the ride? How hard is it to take off and install the camper? Do you use turn buckles?

Nice Clip. Thanks for posting. 1. Roughly, what was the price OTD? 2. What's the length of the Raven and/your bed length.

WHAT IS YOUR TOTAL CAMPER WT WITH YOUR OPTIONS WITH DOG! ?

How much did it cost to upgrade the springs and does it affect the off-roading capabilities? I have a 2011 6.2 Raptor and looking to get a camper for it. Thanks!

Very nice setup! I ordered a Scout camper lightweight hard shell for my Lightning. But realize aerodynamics will force me to get a pop up for the most mileage with an EV. What is the weight of your camper with your additions?

I have no idea… but now I’m curious. I’ll weigh it soon and report back!

Is there an option besides the rollover couch? Thanks.

I’ve been considering the bead locks on my 19, how much does the tire move outward? Also how are they to live with daily? I bet that if you did a detailed video on that it would get a lot of views. Thank you any and all info will be greatly appreciated.

I love the bead locks, but they do have certain costs. The first is adding to the unsprung weight. That increased fuel consumption a little. Second, some shops won't touch them or service tire-related items due to them. It does increase your field repairability, however. It widens the track by about an inch per corner, which I like. I did pop two tires on an overland trip during the first week of trying a new tire brand. Some tires don't do well with the bead locks, I learned. The BFG KM3 has been the best, in my opinion. I should probably do a video on this stuff. That's a great idea. Thank you!

Thanks again for the video suggestion... I just uploaded a new one outlining my beadlock experience.

Did you do anything to your rear suspension for the extra load? ~1klbs for that setup feels like a lot and would squat the rear quite a bit.

Yes, the springs were upgraded all around. The rear has a set from Deaver. I called them and explained how much weight I added, and how high I wanted it, and they sent me a nice set of rear leaf springs. It basically just recalibrated the truck for the load and I still operate in the shock's stock range. Before the springs, I had a definite sagging issue.

The front is a Warn Ascent bumper. I had to get an additional bracket to relocate the adaptive cruise system. I think it was ADD.

Good morning, I would like to ask you for information, how much is the height in cm from street level to the roof, naturally with the roof closed Thank you.

Yes. 5.5 feet on the Raptor and some F150s. Also, I think you can get a Tundra and GM 1500s in this bed size.

All Raptors only have the 5.5 foot bed, even the SuperCab models. I have the SuperCab model myself they are much shorter overall and that translates into being better off-road. I don’t say that to take anything from the SuperCrew models. There’s a big sacrifice to interior room with the SuperCab model. This is a very nice rig!! I wonder if he knows he can take the bungees down that hold the sides in? They are only to help close the top, and are not needed otherwise. Hahaha.
