The pop up camper in the second photo looks like an Apollo camper from australia.

Same here. I've only seen it online but the company's headquartered in escondido,CA which is only a few hours from me.

I'd like to stop by and see what sort of work they do.

Thanks for bringing 3W Truck and Equipment to our attention.

Incidentally, Provan, the Tiger motorhome folks, will build their
RV on any crew cab chassis for you. Provan just announced that
they will work with a Dodge 3500 Cummins crew cab chassis.
They previously announced that they will work with Ford and
Chevy crew cabs.

Friend's truck.

The top picture of the Dodge is my buddy's truck. 3w did a nice job for him but the Phoenix camper has been a disappointment. He's spent considerable buckeroos trying to bring it up to his standards. This picture was taken before he brought it to Carli Suspension for their King 2.5 Performance suspension upgrade. He's also fabricated an aluminum front bumper which houses an aluminum floor jack. This truck has survived numerous runs along the Pacific Baja coastline between Punta Rosarito and Punta Canoas. Other upgrades include: Sirius radio,45 gallon aluminum water tank and solar assist.

Can you elaborate on some of the issues with the camper?

I've been seriously looking into one of these and would love to hear any feedback from someone who owns one.


Also, any current pictures of the dodge with the lift and bumper?

Fit and finish is terrible. Roof leaks. No circuit breaker.Lift mechanism requires a strong back compared to Northstar's effortless Heco system. He went with Phoenix after the guy talked a mean talk but didn't deliver. Leaking gas lines. On and on. If you could pm me your e-mail address,I can send you some pics. I can't figure out how to post pics. I prefer the aluminum siding in any brand after seeing the fiberglass deteriorate around here. Personally,I'd bite the bullet and go with Alaskan. I've seen some fine Alaskan applications on flatbed/utility beds here.

Wow sounds like a this may not be for me.

Looks like a FWC or something along those lines would be best.
