Truck Camper & Trailer Setup/ Strapinno Ratchet Straps

We were finally able to go camping and four-wheeling in our 2020 Lance 975. It was an awesome long weekend getaway with our friends and it afforded us the perfect opportunity to go over our camper and hitch set-up. For all of you with questions about our set-up, we hope this answers most of them. If you have other questions, please leave them in the comments and we'll get to them as soon as possible.
We're sure there are many other ways to set up a hitch to tow behind your truck camper but this is our way. We hope it helps!
Also, if you're in the market for some good ratchet straps, you should check out the Strapinno straps, link below.

I would love to have the supertruss and superhitch from torklift but holly cow they are expensive! I never pull anything too big to need the supertruss / hitch either. Thanks for the video, always nice to have ones ideas validated👍😁

    What hitch extender are you using? I have a similar need to haul a UTV and a motorcycle on a tandem trailer behind my Ram 3500 SRW with a Northstar TC. Was looking at the Torklift super truss hitch and receiver but couldn’t believe the cost. Looks like good stuff but more than I need and pricey! Just found it on your info. Thanks! Your videos are some of my favorites! Great job!

I know you added Trimbrens to your old SRW. I'd like to get my truck set up before I take delivery of the camper. Definately going with Fastguns.. Love your cahnnel. More TC stuff please!

    Hi Brian,. I haven't added any suspension work to my truck but it does have the factory air bags on it. I am planning on adding a rear sway bar. My truck does not have the factory overload springs since it has the air bags. If I had the standard spring pack with overload springs I would probably get the stable loads to put on the springs first. You can't go wrong adding air bags and a sway bar as well in my opinion. Love my air bags. Thanks for watching!

    Are you sure your extension is a 2.5" I would thing it's a 3" like mine. If it's 2.5" then it can only be made of 1/8" inch thick metal witch sounds to thin.

    Thank you for ur video brother, I just bought a Lance 1161 n put it on my Ford 7.3 dually I wanted to drag a closed car hauler with 2 harleys or 1 vette. SHES NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IS IT?.! The camper tips out around 4000 lbs loaded n truck is only good for 4600lbs so that don't leave me with much tongue weight. Maybe a open aluminum car hauler I mite get away with it. Lucky I saw this or I'd b having a car hauler sitting in my drive way DOING NOTHING!...😮🥳😎✌🇨🇦

    Hey V Twin Power, It sounds like you have the right idea as far as watching your payload and trailer weights. Just try to keep them all in check and you might want to look into a SuperTruss hitch extension to support the weight of a car hauler. The SuperTruss will support much more weight than a single hitch extension. Just something to think about. Thanks for watching ~ Todd
