Know that they are being actively banned from many areas, see: Moab. The places you can go are shrinking for all of the reasons above. I hate them. Too loud and too many little kids at the helm for how capable they are. And they DESTROY trails, rub them to the bone and make travel miserable for...

These are awesome, rare campers. Love the drop down extra room. Was looking for one for over a year before I bought my Northstar flatbed. GLWTS. BTW did I miss your location? Interior pics (also more pics) would help you along here.

Every time I'm parked at an east side trailhead in the Wind Rivers (St Lawrence, Dickinson, Glacier trailhead), they get into my truck and eat all the paper. They literally pass over the bags of post-trip potato chips and jerky and eat my toilet paper, proof of insurance and hand towels. Little...

The main drawback for DRW on a 450/4500 or 550/5500 is tire size selection and lack of ability to air down, which is a big deal if you go into the back country. The reason most go to the bigger truck vs a 350/3500 is load capacity and, more importantly for me, the waaaaaaay better turning...

I think you're ignoring the value/cost of square footage and over valuing the "boutique" factor. Flatbed campers are bigger. Have you been in one? No awkward galley kitchen, rear dinette, space for a real shower/toilet in most cases. My Northstar American Hero almost feels like a trailer inside...

Economies of scale. Slide ins are are assembly line at this point. Flatbeds are niche and less "standard". Flatbeds yield more square actual footage. More space to put things. Things cost money. Scarcity. I could go on.

They are for sure making them in house. Cool concept. Hard sides is a great concept but you do lose side entry capabilities and any large window view space. Also looks like you might not be able to leave your bedding up in the skinny folding top.

I see around town on Tacomas. Look like a cartoon pompadour.

Genuinely interested as to why? I mean other than not much response from OP which is pretty common with "new members". Trying to learn and be careful.

Love the cabovers for all the reasons above. The only catch for those of us in North America is that they don't exist in 4wd config with Fuso exiting the market. Aftermarket outfit only. Tulsa Truck is the only company widely doing these conversions. Also F550 et al are ubiquitous and parts...

Wow. Your fab skills are amazing, with the added complexity that you're in a wheelchair! Following along. Love how you just decided to go with it and get rocking! 👊

Have the same dilemma on my recently acquired 2006 F450. The road slick 225s are not going to work here in Utah snow country as it will spend a bunch of time hauling up and down from SLC to ski towns and a fair bit of snowboarding when it's not working. Seems like 245s are the only option while...

I got news for you. It's all made in "China". Anything involving plastic and electronic parts is largely made there. Show me the company making an actual pump like that in America. If they are, then they are assembling parts made elsewhere. I buy on Alibaba all the time. If you're careful and...

This is basically the Starlink/T-Mobile answer to 2 way emergency text coms that Apple did last year. It will take a huge amount of work to get true data into a smartphone. Love to see Starlink start working on that problem but it's years away.

4500/5500 all day long. Wide track front axle and beefier axles/brakes alone is worth it. Just understand that the factory wheel size is very limited in choices and they are expensive. If you go above 225/70 19.5 you can really only step up to 245 with the factory rims. You get above that it's...

Wally world folding toilet plus ammo can for used bags. No smells. Joolca is the cream of the crop for a tent. Love mine. These have been my tool of choice in Greater Canyonlands where it's required in most areas and best practice when it's not. Joolca now have a sweet shower pan thing now too...

Can't speak from experience. But my suspicion is a bunch of these companies are doing just that. They all look the same. Engineering something like this is a huge endeavor. Somebody like Lone Peak, who has been fully transparent in their development process, is a different story. Makes me wonder...

Easy fab. Call your local welders.

If buying used, go rural. Get away from the big cities (SLC, Denver etc al) and be willing to drive/fly out. 50k is a healthy budget, plenty of great trucks and SUVs out there. Even in the bigger markets pricing on used has come down a bunch especially for vehicles with good mods that you would...

Drooooool GLWTS!
