Looks like a super practical build on a great vehicle. Somebody in the Mountain West should jump on this. Are you willing to deliver?

I have the same camper and am wondering if you ever have trouble with pipes freezing in that weather. Have you done any insulation mods?

Hey all. I ended up with the 2007 5.9 cummins flatbed with 177k on the engine. New injectors done at 140k. The guy in oregon sold the thing for like 35k which was way out of my budget. I am now looking to do some basic upgrades/maintainance things to the dodge. I am planning on doing the upper...

any interest in parting with just the truck?

The only reasons I am leaning towards the 6.7 are a) it is an hour from where i live. b) it already has a flatbed on it, which is in the plan for the build c) it is actually within my budget, whereas the low mileage 5.9 will require me to go over 6k. I think you are probably right though.

Hey all, I see that I opened a can of worms. I've been looking for a 5.9 in MT and DAMN, they command a high price. Here is an update. 1) Through a friend, I've got a lead on a 2005 5.9L Cummins, 4x4 in Oregon with only 65k on it. Totally stock, two owners, and well maintained. Unfortunately...

Yeah, the MPGs are part of the reason I am leaning towards a diesel. Driving from up north to Mexico on 10+/- MPG vs 20+/- MPG is a big difference. Perhaps it would make the 5-10k extra investment on the front end in a diesel worthwhile. But then there is the issue of maintenance. It would take...

Hi all, I am relatively new to the community and am looking for any advice I can get. That can either mean pointing me in the direction of helpful threads or contributing your own suggestions. Here is my situation: I am looking to build a rig to live out of as I do volunteer work in Tuscon...

bump. the dimensions of the maggiolina are 145 cm by 210 cm, can't seem to find the dimensions for prinsu

Hey everybody, I am thinking about mounting a Prinsu rack on my topper and putting a Maggiolina extreme (medium) on top of that. I am wondering if anyone here has any experience doing this. Were you successful? What tips can you offer here?

@kraqus , thanks for the help. If I end up going through with it, i might pm you for a little more guidance. Being a noob at fiberglass repair, I can estimate maybe 25 hours of labor into the thing. With that estimate, what do you think would be a fair offering price? I was thinking somewhere...

i.e., does the top shell look bent enough to do that kind of a repair to you?

I am a little bit of a noob in this world, and I don't want to get myself into something that won't last for a couple years.

@kraqus thanks for the tips. Obviously this would involve taking the tent fabric off the shell? Here is a less close up shot, do you think that would all be necessary? Do you think the price is right for the camper?
