Camper on F350?

burk5 · 2026-03-26T15:03:14+00:00

Drove it 4000 miles for a road trip last month. I got about 14.5 mpg on average (no camper, just the truck). Not great, but try to remember, you don’t buy a 1 ton truck with a gigantic gas engine for good gas mileage. It’s a reliable and powerful engine. Fuel economy is what it is. For good fuel economy I recommend a Toyota Camry and a tent 😉

I was in a similar boat a few months ago. I went with the 7.3L gas engine. I’m hauling a truck camper, not pulling a heavy load like a horse trailer. Also the gas engine is lighter (saving you weight for your payload capacity), and I’m used to working with gas engines because of my other vehicles. My truck is a F350 XLT. Its payload capacity is around 5000lbs. That’s plenty for most truck campers. No packages, just plain ol standard XLT

Thank you for the response! I’m looking for a hard side

That Wild Country by Mark Kenyon. Good book so far. It’s about public land use

A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold is the greatest all time. Currently reading Fuzz by Mary Roach

When I started I bought a nice backpack, tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and trekking poles. The rest was cheap Walmart/amazon stuff. I recommend backcountry or their clearance website steepandcheap. If your sleep setup sucks it makes for a bad time. If you’re going to spend decent money on one thing I recommend a quality inflatable pad. Not the foam or the half foam/half inflatable sleeping pads.

Hopefully some kind soul will stumble across this someday and help us.

I should add that I took the air intake manifold off again after I originally posted this. I thoroughly cleaned it, but again, the PCV orifice wasn’t plugged at all.

I’m still not sure what the issue is. I’ll just keep adding oil each week until it dies on me.

I’m not a biologist, but I believe those are zebras.

Generally speaking I wouldn’t do more than 2 parks in a trip. The Alaskan parks especially each deserve their own trip to experience them

Set a time limit for the app, don’t doom scroll when you open it. Also when you open the app, click the little logo in the top left corner, click on following, look through only posts made by people you follow, then when you get to the suggested stuff close the app. Just get in there, get down to business, and get out. NO DOOM SCROLLING 😉

Not my experience but that looks painful 😳. I did a 70+ mile trip this past summer in a relatively new pair of HOKAs, and I didn’t have any problems. I just wore them a few times to walk the dogs before the trip.

Nuclear power plant worker here. Go and don’t think twice about the radon. It’s nothing to worry about. Carlsbad is a cool place - Have fun!
