I am selling my 2005 Ford F350 Harley Davidson and Bigfoot 25c9.4 (short bed) camper as a package. Both are highly modified and I will discuss the details below. This setup was put together in order to go off the grid and boondock without disturbing the peace, hence the huge battery bank & solar system. With careful management of your power usage, you could almost stay off the grid indefinitely (provided you have a source of water). Even if you decide to use power without concern, this rig will last 4-5 days off the grid with no generator. The value of just the upgrades / modifications on the truck and camper are approaching $20k by themselves (with highly discounted labor).

6.0L Powerstroke turbo Diesel -- this motor is equipped with a Bulletproof Diesel EGR cooler and brand new OEM oil cooler. While the work was being done, all High Pressure oil system fittings were replaced / upgraded. Also, the turbo was disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled with a new Unison Ring. The engine cooling system was thoroughly flushed with a 2 part flush and the coolant was replaced with Caterpillar ELC coolant (mixed with distilled water), and a Sinister diesel coolant filter was installed. The motor runs well and when I monitor the oil & water temp, the delta is generally less than 5 degrees under normal highway driving. The weak points of the 6.0 powerstroke have been addressed and this motor should last a very long time.
The transmission, engine, & both differentials are running high end synthetic fluids.
Truck has approximately 136k miles. The FICM was recently replaced and the ECM was rolled back to an early program version (getting significantly better MPG now -- With careful driving, the truck will see up to 19mpg on flat ground, and this is with 35" tires - this is of course unloaded).
Upgrades --
35" toyo open country MT (rated load is over 4k lbs per tire).
190 amp DC Power alternator
Firestone Air Bags
Hellwig Big Wig rear sway bar
Torklift Frame Mounted Tie Downs
2000 Watt Xantrex Prowatt Truck mounted inverter which is also connected to Camper to provide up to 40amp charge to camper batteries while the truck is running. I use this inverter to power up the refrigerator while on a road trip so that I don't have to run the propane on the camper. It will also recharge the camper batteries much faster than the hitch power lead (which only charges at up to 7-8 amps). I have used this inverter to run a 120v contractor style air compressor to fill tires when coming off the beach at Pismo and also to run a Makita electric chain saw. It comes in very handy!
2 Sears Diehard platinum AGM batteries
HID Headlights (including the fog lights) -- Very bright
CAMPER -- 2006 Bigfoot 25c9.4sb
625 amp hour AGM battery Bank (5 Group 31 batteries rated at 125ah each)
2000 Watt Tripp Lite Inverter / charger (100amp charger, auto switching)
Dual 145 watt roof mounted solar panels (290 watt total). Solar panels are tied into a Rogue 30amp charge controller. The solar system is also tied to the truck battery (switched) so that when the truck / camper are parked for an extended period of time, the camper solar system will keep the truck batteries fully charged (along with the camper batteries). NOT A SINGLE HOLE WAS CUT OR DRILLED INTO THE FIBERGLASS ROOF TO MOUNT THE SOLAR OR RUN THE WIRING.
All interior lighting is LED and draws 1/6 the power of the original bulbs.
Upgraded Large Single basin sink with hand sprayer.
24" Flat Screen LED television with built in DVD player mounted in overhead bunk, but can be swung around to face dinette as well.
Bluetooth Capable Sony Stereo system with Alpine speakers and Subwoofer.
Coleman Mach 1 11k btu Air Conditioner with Heat Strip. This air conditioner is very efficient and easily runs off a 2000w honda generator. In fact, the 2000w tripp lite inverter will run this air conditioner for hours on just battery power. The heat strip in the overhead air conditioner is great for when you are plugged in and don't want to waste propane on the forced air furnace.
Camper has 3 fantastic fans, including one in the bathroom.
Trimetric 2025 Battery Monitor
Microwave
Closet mounted quick access Safe (uses fingerprint to access).
Ambient Weather ws-1171 weather station (includes outdoor sensor)
Fast Gun Tie Downs
Custom Stairs (basically new) by Step Up Products of Eugene, OR
Both the truck and camper are used an of course have some condition issues such as scratches & blemishes, and the driver side arm rest in the truck has a large hole warn in it (see pictures).
I REALLY do not want to sell this rig but my family has out-grown it, so it's time to look at something a bit more suburban.
Asking $35,000.00. Located in Santa Cruz, CA. Text Scott at 408-391-0066.
