The new website looks great, have you thought about starting an Instagram account?

I can get over 40,000 miles out of a set 295/70/18 inch tires with my camper on the truck 99% of the time and rotating them every 5,000 miles. If you start with brand new tires, I don't forsee you wearing them out. Make sure you have a full size spare though on a rim, after that you could take...

Is it a 3/4 ton truck?

I would go with Propane all the way unless you plan to stay for longer than 6 months in south america. Lots of nice propane appliences and they are reliable.

The tires look like they are Pirrelli PS22'S or are they XZL?

Looks like a motorcycle lift in the back? Frame mounted? Also curious about what it scales at. I am currently in Baja driving some back roads and this camper looks like it would be more up to the job than my current set up.

Any progress or pics of that red Ram 5500 I have seen online a few times? Looks like a great ride.

xpeditioncamper uses them with their builds. He has pictures of the windows in his build thread. I saw them in person when I visited the factory, and they miles ahead of my Seitz s4.

Quick question Ward. I am considering a Ram 5500 and torn between going with 4.88 or 4.44 gears. How do you like the 4.44 gearing with those tires? Do you wish you would have went with the 4.88's? Not sure of the math on it, but I would like to end up around 4.10 with the taller tires.

Hopefully the shocks fix your problem, if they do report back. The other issue might be the springs, it's a balance between stability and load carrying with a heavy hard side camper vs softer spring rate springs, like those from Carli. Personally, stock springs and a spacer might actually fix a...

There is a company called "rigracks" they can build heavy duty custom awnings

You could also assemble one from @Totalcomposites . It certainly seems like you have the skill.

Interested, but it's hard to tell exactly how it works. Maybe when it gets closer to completion you can post some video?

I am guessing drawbacks are parts and repairs when it breaks down.

Any updates? are you making these and selling them to the public? If so, do you have a website?

xpeditioncamper.com, he is currently building up a unit now to show at Expo. I saw it in person and it looked liked it could really take a beating, and it sounds like it should be priced pretty reasonable.

I used a Dieselcraft centrifuge, it worked only okay for me, I later sold it. I switched to the bowel style and got much better results. But maybe for what Coechgeo is doing it might work better? I ended up with a WVO designs, that turns 6000 RPMs, it's single pass vs. multiple passes like...

Absolutely not, no way. The filters will pick up the gunk, but you will be changing them every 500 miles on the side of the road. Not even remotely possible in the winter or just cold. I always felt golden fuel systems was a pretty poor WVO set up. I honestly don't think you will find...

If you can remove the emission components and 07.5 and later cummins is not a bad option and will run on higher sulfur content diesel fuels, they have the advantage of being more reasonably priced as well. People think a 5.9 3rd gen Cummins is worth gold, and some people will pay it.

How are your tires holding up? Have you purchased another set yet?
