I was wanting to get some feedback from anyone that owns the 11.0, the positives and negatives, general impressions, how they handle, what changes you would make.  Particularly interested in anyone that has it mounted on a Toyota Tundra and how it does under its weight.


Thanks in advance.

While I don't have an 11. I do have a 9.6s, it's on a 2014 ram 3500 crew cab 4x4 diesel srw. The first trip back on stock suspension was less than confidence inspiring. Tires were appx. 75 psi now i make sure its at 80 before starting off.I've since added some timbren's and driving is now exponentially better. Mine sat pretty much level when we first loaded it up, now it's a little tail high. Not sure what a tundra would look like with the biggest camper loaded up. My camper is on the D&H rv center Facebook page at the top, max steel(dark blue w/sparkles) w/charcoal camper and graphics removed. Haven't learned how to do links yet.

Thanks Sean.  For those who want to see his pic here is the link. https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/11392905_985905718116648_8264760605908565796_o.jpg  It does look very high speed.  Was it a problem getting it without the graphics or did you take them off yourself?  One thing I can't find much info on is exterior storage.  I know there is storage for the two propane tanks, but I really can't find what other compartments they have.  Is there a battery compartment and is there room to add more if I want to have two 6volts instead of a single 12?  Is there a generator compartment?  Any pics would be great.

During shipping the paint got a little scuffed up so they repainted it. I asked for no graphics. There is a battery compartment which has a group 24, you should be able to replace it w/bigger one. Don't think that 2 6v would fit. There's also a gen compartment, which is big enough for my honda 2k and power cord inside plus room for other smaller items also. Slide out also has outside storage. I'm thinking about getting a rack for receiver hitch as there's appx 1 ft below camper to store stuff. Putting firewood inside is really not all that fun. Mine doesn't have 4 seasons pkg on it so a little more room underneath for storage.

Hey Sean, D&H RV just happens to be the nearest dealer that has a Camplite Truck Camper on the lot.  They have two right now we plan to go see.  Were they pretty good to deal with or would it be better to deal directly with Livin Lite?  Also...have you had a chance to get out in it and how do you like it overall?

Dave(the owner) is very easy to work with. He's very busy so an appt may be necessary. As far as my TC, I've had it out quite a bit over the summer. Systems are very easy to work with, there is a learning curve to them but once you get them down...too easy. The only real concern the wife and I both share is the size of wet bath and the dinette table is kinda shaky. I'm going to make a longer table top that rests on top of ledge in front of window, which should take some of the wobble out. Bed is comfortable, fridge has plenty of room, lots of storage inside, easy to winterize.
