A Bliss 8 ft. hardside pop-up is coming so I am told...

Does ER utilize a 3 point mount for the body?

Seems as like time flies. Any body or frame issues yet with the direct frame installation?

Would still rather it be on the F550/5500 platform for tremendous margin of safety at minimal additional cost. Downside is parts are slightly harder to find vs a 1 ton chassis? Drivetrain parts will not need replacing as often as they are right sized for the 40s and weight I would guess. Their...

Great job! How tall is the rig and your mpg?

GXV has installed a number of them domestically.

Maybe I missed it, but price and location?

I like your idea as I can see getting grounded in a ditch or mired in mud with no opportunity to "slide" into a receiver. Your sketch of rear bumper did not post (as far as I can tell).

A small grey water tank is no big deal if you are moving every day. If you are stuck in a campground you have to move to dump. Even worse if you are in a freind's neighborhood. Remember, most people will assume that you are dumping black water (remember cousin Eddy on N.L. Christmas Vacation). I...

I had GXV install a natures head on my rig like you. You will love it as long as you keep TP out of it. I see you have it mounted, just make sure you can pivot the top lid back enough to empty the pee bucket (which is like every two days with three ladies in my family). We used a stainless steel...

Sold?

Whats the deal? Surely someone has some experience.

And it comes in diesel!

re departure I would say that of the things that you can control, this is one of the very important. I takes very little amount of land contour change to ground your rear end. It is much easier to work with a poor break over angle. Like mentioned by low tech, draw your line and do your best not...

If the 570 had a subframe worthy of bags, it would indeed be the bomb. The aesthetics of the fender jug are a little hard to stomach, let alone steer if heavy laden.
