    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    Thanks! I appreciate that, only a fellow builder could understand the first test drive:) I've used vinyl in the past and have been happy with the results. They can basically print any logo/design inexpensively. I may check into a wrap just to see what's available and cost. Here is a vinyl...

    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    Terra, I like your plan and execution. The ladder looks like a disassembled Little Giant 5-step with the leveler feet attached, no? Where do you store the ladder when not in use? I may have missed this as I only scanned your build process. Thanks and yes, same type of ladder. See previous...

    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    U bolts for the latches arrived and installed, touch up paint complete, and the best part of the day was the test drive. Handling and ride exceeded my expectations due to its light weight. I usually notice an immediate drop in mpg with our other camper, however mpg hovered around 19. "Camper...

    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    Thanks! Here are a few more pics after install. Pipe is in an L shape going from left to right with the drain in the back. The flex hose allows for flow in the 180 turn from camper to tank. It can also be tucked into the flatbed when camper is off. Quick disconnect should make hook up easy...

    "S O L D" Flatbed camper with Pop up and slide

    Sorry, no plans for a cross country trip any time soon. If you need/want to purchase a truck for this camper, I'd be happy to help arrange it. Meaning that I could forward local dealerships to you, then assist in the flatbed installation. There is a company here that installs flat beds for...

    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    After some thinking time, I decided to use this drainage pipe for the grey holding. It's flexible enough to slide up and under the flatbed. I'll secure it with heavy duty zip tie's.

    DIY Composite Flatbed Camper Build

    Made these aluminum tabs for the steps, then attached to the camper with lag screws and Sika 252. Will probably purchase torklift landing gear for unleveled ground. One nice thing about the aluminum extrusions is that it provides strong attachment points like this. Also plan to attach awning in...

    "S O L D" Flatbed camper with Pop up and slide

    It requires a platform to sit on, whether a flatbed for detachment or a permanent mount to the chassis. We use it with our flatbed for camping and then remove it when we are not.
