I don't remember... l'll see about getting it weighed if that would be helpful. In Oregon, there are scales everywhere (free). In Arizona, they seem to primarily be at truck stops (paid). Bla.
We tried to remove weight as weight was added. So it shouldn't be fairly close to stock. See...
Rear drive. Duratrac tires all around.
We purchased it with the intent of converting to 4WD. Had time scheduled with WhiteFeather for the conversion $25-30k. After reading some of the "issues" the conversion caused we decided to use the RV first and modify if/as needed. We found there was...
Hey Gary -
It is rather ideal for bikes. Advertising your expensive gear outside the vehicle is less good... And out of the weather!
We've been in sub freezing and snow on several occasions. It does alright... We have reflectix to cover all the windows which is helpful (good for heat...
1. Will update later today with slide open pictures. No issues functioning in the rain open/closed. It is one of the better designed slides with cover awning.
2. Moto carrier is custom built (cost about $900) so no weight capacity. It bolts to factory hitch rated at 500lb load. It also has...
This is the ULTIMATE long term travel vehicle…ideal for recreational enthusiasts who want an exterior GARAGE! Easily remain “off grid” for 2-4 weeks with ample water and electrical power. Plus beds for 6 adults. All with an average fuel economy of 17mpg! Turn key rig.

Kenny - that's a great camper setup. Have you thought about regearing?
We will either keep stock size tires and gears or do a sizable jump 37s with regear. Just need to see what size spare tire will fit in the stock location.

Really handles very well on stock suspension. Just installed some Timbrens (nothing else). Corners...
Thanks for all the thoughts and comments.
Ended up buying a 2019 F250 Crew/Short SRW 4x4 6.2L. Prefered the Ford over Dodge for the Dana60 axle, manual hubs, electric rear differential locker, aluminum body, more simplistic motor (no cylinder deactivation). The drivetrain seems rather solid...
Thanks for sharing your vehicle setups. Nice rigs!
From what I've gathered reading many forums... Gas 1 Ton with hard side camper fuel mileage is 10-13mpg. Diesel 1 Ton with hard side camper 12-16mpg. Hard to argue with diesel performance. My concern with diesel is the emissions as we will...
I'm looking at both the Ford and Ram truck offerings. It would be a 4x4 SRW crew cab short box. Hauling a camper with target dry weight under 2,300 lbs (target weight in low 3,000lb loaded). Will be used on rough roads and off road (will upgrade suspension on any truck). Here's the...

It seems you are probably one of the most experienced off road camper guys on the interwebs. I'd love to get your feedback... I'm looking at a similar camper type setup. Would you give feedback on trucks?
I'd like to buy a 4yr old or newer (possibly brand new) truck. My top choices...
Carolos had the front driveline come loose and beat up the trans pan and skid. Lost all the bolts connecting shaft to front diff. Not really a Mitsu problem more lack of maintenance and rig preparation. A kind buggy owner stopped and savaged enough bolts to get it back together. Lost a...
