We did not expect to be adding twins to our family when this build started and there is just not enough room....

I still don't think you have to sell.... Slightly bigger 12 tonne Crewcab truck, with the body you have sat on the back, and a fancy roof rack atop the new dual cab which houses a twin roof tent which is accessed from the second row seats. It'd be a smart looking rig too!!

Are you attached to the twins? sell them on eBay and you have lots of travelling money:wings:

There small now. Will sleep in baskets on floor..... then later sleeping bags, then later you have a roof top tent over the cab. For transport...... mom drives a little truck behind you. Perfect for when you get stuck....... or need to run to town for supplies.... just take the small truck. Can be your official CHASE VEHICLE and chase crew. Before long they will be off and college and tada.. you loose your chase crew but gain..... CHASE GRAND KIDS:Wow1:

Really enjoyed learning about your truck in this thread. Did you end up selling it? If not, is it still for sale (and for how much?)?

DzlToy,

XP Completed the whole thing. It was a learning experience with trial and error which took about 15 months. I am so excited for how it turned out but what sucks is I have to go right around and sell it! We did not expect to be adding twins to our family when this build started and there is just not enough room....

Can you add a large crawl through and seat belts to the dining seats? Add a roof top tent and you are done. As the kids grow, they can take turns in the passenger seat while the rest play games or watch movies in the back.

I currently have more butts in the family than seats in the truck I am working towards getting. I plan to do what I describe above but without the RTT. I plan a bigger box. In your case, I would stick with what you have unless you plan a mammoth trip with the family (years). One day you will want a camper the size you have.

Is it still for sale? How much?

Sorry everyone! I've moved across the country and my wife had twins, been super busy. Yes it is still for sale, we have just been putting the final touches on everything. I will be posting in the Classified section soon as well as an update to the build.
