    Should be under GVWR now, all I need to do now is build the composite flatbed camper.

    Webasto Dual Top Reviews wanted

    I see they rate the Dual Top Evo6 for 2,500 meters. I can see myself going higher than that at times in the winter, but not by much and probably not longer than a week.

    Fuso Expedition truck build in ontario

    Did you ever decide on which direction you are going with as far as space and water heating? I am in the same dilemma, I am curious about the Elgena that Andreas sells, is there a way to heat only water in the summer time? So as not to heat up the cabin also?

    Webasto Dual Top Reviews wanted

    What I don't understand about those units is if there is a way to heat only water in the summertime using the air heater without heating up the camper. I know TotalComposites sells something similar but it is still unclear exactly how it would function.

    I am not opposed to propane, I like the Truma, but can't buy one in the US. I can buy a Truma from overseas but the AC electric portion is 50hz and 230 volt. The Truma D6 diesel all in one air/water heater looks like it would be great, and I have heard uses espar parts, but also unavailable in...

    6.7 power stroke Earthroamer engine rebuilds

    I do not believe it is possible to remove the cab on the earth roamer to do major engine work, although technically you probably can, you will pay out the ass in labor to do it. Work on the ford that requires cab removal will have to be done the old fashioned way, which probably translates into...

    Gross vehicle rating & payload

    For your situation, and probably for most people, the dually is a great route to go, more stability, more capacity, safer, and if you get a blow out in the rear with a truck camper on, not as big of a deal. I debated going with 45/5500, still do, but ultimately ended up with a 3500 cab and...

    Gross vehicle rating & payload

    It sounds like it's working well for you, but I would only take issue with the inflation table of your tires. They are rated at 4,000 lbs at 80 psi, but what is the rating in the rear at 65 PSI? This illustrates an issue I think many people forget when considering tires, and assume that a tire...

    Gross vehicle rating & payload

    I have a 3500 DRW to SRW conversion with 18" method NV HD wheels 4,500 lbs rating and Falken 37" at3w tires rated at 3,960 lbs at 65 psi. I would stay away from "F" rated tires, they are largely a marketing gimick. My tires are rated to carry the same weight as a "F" rated tire but can do it...

    Hey sorry, I should have posted a link. I am referring to the Dual Top Evo. It's an air/water heater all in one unit from webasto. For cooking I plan to go electric induction. https://www.webasto-comfort.com/en-au/heating/recreational-vehicles/

    pivoting frames and mounting campers

    Just picked up my flatbed, it is a captive spring mount. You can see it and some videos of it in action on Instagram @mountainguildoverland.

    I am considering the Webasto Dual Top airheater/water heater combo for my next build, but I am having a hard time finding any user reviews. If you have one, what has been your experience with it? Thank you

    I have a cab and chassis, that is how I was able to go from DRW to SRW. If you have a dually with the pickup box it doesn't work. I used Method NV HD wheels 18x9 rated at 4,500 lbs. per wheel and 37" Falken tires. He is located in SoCal, mine is the first one he has done besides his own, but...

    I might go back down to 35s on my Ram 3500. Thoughts?

    Skip the Norweld, not worth it. Christopher at @mountainguildguildoverland can build you what you want for like a 1/3 of the price or less than Norweld, and a lot stronger. He does Aluminum or steel. Tell him Aaron Wydra sent you. I am picking mine up tomorrow. I prefer the cab chassis by...

    I might go back down to 35s on my Ram 3500. Thoughts?

    I could be wrong, but I don't think you can get 4.10 gears in SRW on the 2019 unless it's either GAS or Dually. I ended up with 4.10's because my truck was a dually, but it's a 2018 so, not sure. Either way, if you keep the current truck I would probably go down to a little shorter tire that...

    Falken Wildpeak AT/3W - anyone running them? Opinions?

    My at3W tires are still new but so far I like them. The tread depth is surprisingly deep but with closer spaced lugs compared to my Cooper Sttmaxx tires. I had really good luck with the Coopers but since I went with a 37 inch tires on my new truck I went with the Falken wanting to maintain...
