That turned out really nice! What were your considerations for going with a double axle?

I had a 2003 E350 quigley and the suspension design on it was pretty bad. There were no adjustments for the front links to correct axle alignment and it would also bump steer really bad. When I owned it, it wasn't very old and had low miles so I don't think it was wear related. Vans with 4x4...

Maybe beating a dead horse but 1/2 ton campers work best when they don't have all the amenities crammed into them. If someone wants more creature comforts, get a larger truck and camper.
