What to look for in a cab over camper

[fj40charles]

I thinking about purchasing a cab over camper. My truck has an 8 ft. bed and has the camper special leaf springs (heavy duty). I know I may have to upgrade the rear tires/rims to some 19.5" Ricksons for additional weight capacity since my truck is a single wheel.

What are some of the things to look for? I know I want heat/AC, sink, toilet, and shower. I'm looking for a used one because I don't want to spend 20K for a cab over camper.

Any good brands? What do you look for in a used camper?

Thanks in advance,
Charles

I ended up with a Lance cab over camper. 9.5" feet with AC/heater, generator, toilet/shower, microwave, 6 cubic ft refrigerator and queen size bed...
No more camping in the dirt for me....

one recommendation is air bags for the rear suspension to help prevent sway...not an issue (as much) with duals, but recommended for singles....HD truck or not...

if you've got range E tires, you should be stylin...

I have the factory "camper special" which has the helper springs and a anti sway bar, but may add some air bags since they're not too exensive

I've got load range E tires now, but I'm thinking about some 19.5" tires.. The cab over camper will weigh about 3,400 lbs loaded plus another 7K lbs towing my junk.
