The mattress that comes with the camper is only 4 in thick. It is very thin and uncomfortable. I bought a new memory foam mattress one month after I purchased the camper.

Which one did you order?

I purchased the 166fbs last November from Haylet RV. I was told by the dealer it was one of the first. The mattress size is a full xl.

How are you finding the 166FBS tows behind the F150? I have the same setup, I'm considering replacing the stock shocks with some bilstein 4600s, getting a little too much bouncing.

We have an F150 V6, and tow a little larger TT, and changed the stock shocks to the Bilstein 4600s for that same reason. They made a big difference both towing and not. Our previous Tundra TRD came with them from the factory, and was spoiled on the ride quality with them. We're very happy with the results given the extra wheelbase length between the two trucks.

Towing a Jayco 19RD, listed dry weight 4140 lbs, with a max loaded of 6200 lbs. The F150 is a 2WD Supercrew with a fiberglass cap, Bedslide, and gear when towing.

Wow, nice layout. And a freezer/fridge in a camper that small. I'm impressed. And love the outside mini fridge option. Enjoy!

Anyone with a 166fbs get the JAYCOMMAND tire pressure monitor option? It was on my order sheet, but I don't see where you find this / how you use this.
