Of the F250, Silverado 2500, and Ram 2500 (long beds) does one brand have a major advantages over another in carrying a hard sided truck camper weighing approximately 3000 lbs? In particular does one of these truck brands accommodate more camper types than another. I am guessing that the F250...

Although a FWC Grandby is my first choice in truck campers, due to the relative lite weight and reportedly durable construction, so far I have had no luck finding one. I'd like opinions on a "second choice" truck camper with weight of the camper the major consideration. The camper's home is...

Rather than cutting into the roof to install a fan, has anyone removed the back window panels in a cargo vanand installed a louvered window device to provide for increased airflow? Ideally, the louvered window would have a baffle system, that can open and close? From the inside of the van, a...

For ventilation, I will need to install a roof vent into either a Ford or Chev cargo van. The vent will lay in the rear portion of the roof. What are the advantages to a Ford vs Chev cargo van, for this installation?

Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on converting a walk-in commercial truck topper ( tool hatches on the sides, with a door in the back) into a camper for overnight stays in a city and for general camping.? For ventilation, I would probably want to install a roof fan. Specifically, would you...

AT 6'2" in height, I am concerned that a Four Wheel Camper will have enough space to sleep and stretch, with pillow and curled toes. What are owners opinions?

Your recommendations, please. I potentially need a used, quad style, gasoline fueled pick-up truck that will pull a 6000 lb loaded airstream trailer, and carry a 1500-2000 lb payload capacity. As I will use the pickup for possibly 18,000 miles of independent driving and 2000 miles of towing...

Anyone, cannibalized an older motorhome (A, B, or C class) for cabinets, tanks, stove, frig, etc. to use for a Sprinter conversion. Ideally, I suppose, the size of the older RV should match the specs of the Sprinter, 144 wb. Suggestions?

Does anyone know of a supplier for Sprinter side hatch windows? I'd like to have the security and stealth of metal panels, but also the ability to lift them, almost like awnings, and have screens behind them for air flow and ventilation. How difficult would it be to fabricate these, if no...

For stealth and security, I am considering purchasing a Sprinter cargo van with bulk head and no rear windows. For ventilation, has anyone "drilled holes" into the floor (cool air under the van) and exhausted the hot air with only a roof top vent. Without rear windows for ventilation, and...

For security and stealth in converting a Sprinter into an RV, I'm potentially considering purchasing a 144 in., high top with bulkhead. To me, its seems that the security aspect of doing this is obvious? At the same time, I'm certain that there are disadvantages? The driver and passenger...

Does anyone have a link or information, advice to share on designing a minimalist Sprinter RV (probably 144, high roof)? I would probably want a solar/battery apparatus for reading lights and a frig, but don't need sophisticated cooking facilities. Ditto: for plumbing as a compost toilet or its...
