I think the problem could be the width, but definitely worth inquiring. Thanks.

Some miscellaneous thoughts: The ultimate Bowen Custom bed for us would include: Space for galley next to the cabin, fit an AluCabin and some internal structure to replace Goose Gear, which it apparently necessitates the normal full bed size inside in order to fit some metal plates. Goose...

Nice Rig! Who made your interior cabinets?

Thanks. Do share some pics if you can!

We haven't done any co-sleeping yet. At some point this will make everything easier or perhaps just different. It feels confortable knowing somebody else went through the same predicament, thanks for sharing your experience. Cute kid!

Correct If I go with the AluCab, I'm thinking about renting a parking space from a neighbor that's never home. They have two huge full Size RV parking slots nobody uses. Getting a hang of the owners/property managers is going to be the challenge. Not with AluCabin, perhaps other options where...

Precisely, I like how that Project M fits with the bed Bowen bed though. We need to explore this further with the wife. It doesn't help that we are very strict with the baby schedule. She has a 2h nap + 12/13h overnight. Having the baby go to sleep early is a +++ for adult life after 7pm. I'd...

Yes, all of them are a lower level variation of the AluCabin setup I described. I was referring to something different outside that format. By lower level I mean: - Less integrated solutions (water, electricity) - Less seal against dust

There are several good looking, functional solutions. The big restriction we have, is how do we get to separate sleeping environments? In the Alu Cabin during nighttime, the setup goes like this: The baby's bedtime is around 6:30. We arrange everything on the lower level - the heater, sound...

The Mitts Alloy beds are interesting, the problem for us is that the Canopy is a minimum of 3ft, leaving little room for the "first floor" room, potentially. They also have an ok option for slide in campers, but they eat a lot of the inside room.

Just clipping some interesting ideas found today: Outside Bench Table Truck Bed with Space for Galley Commercial Level Air Compressor

Noted I recently communicated with AEV regarding the issue with the lower mount. They informed me that they are introducing an additional welding point to address the problem some owners encountered. I'm contemplating the inclusion of the 8100's. It would be ideal to achieve the comfort...

Interesting. What truck do you own?. That's a massive load.

The video caught my attention due to its blind testing method of various shocks, all specifically tuned for the same vehicle model. This approach ensures a direct, fair comparison. While the test involved a Tacoma, the focus here is on the comparative performance of the shocks, making the...

I drove a 3500 with long bed with rear air. I really didn't feel any improvement. The truth is that these trucks drive atrociously without load. I'll be putting a load, so hopefully that helps.. I wonder if their tunning process includes the scenario where I'm putting load in the back. This...

This is the closest thing to a fair test you can find. The Bilstein's seem do do ok. The large negative offset, and how the modifications stood up above everything, they didn't blend well with the trucks IMO. Didn't drive them, so I can speak about the drive quality. Interesting. Will look...

Could you please comment on the 5100 vs 8100, if you have an educated opinion?. I could be off base here, but trimming is a cardinal sin to me. Last week I saw 4-5 trucks with this setup, it just doesn't look right. It could be the specific implementation of those rigs and not a apt...

I've always heard that for safety, specially off road, you want to have a full size spare. Recently, I tested the vehicle on a notable gravel road, especially with the snow setting in above 9000ft. Between the rocks, bumps, and washboards, the truck's performance left a lot to be desired. The...

Even venturing down this path, I'm uncertain about the existence of reasonably-priced options. My ideal rig would encapsulate these three primary features, among many others: A two-room solution similar to AluCab's design, but with the capability to detach the top for winter—when travel will...

Thank you for the detailed report. It's certainly piqued my interest in exploring this approach. Given that I'm not highly mechanically savvy, it'll take me a bit to delve into the intricacies and weigh the tradeoffs of this handy workaround. Your comments truly echo my present sentiments...
