    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    IDK if you're missing anything, but there are many ways to skin this cat. Most people with a lot of wiring run a combiner box like this: https://amsolar.com/rv-combiner-box/20-roof. That is basically a roof mounted bus bar that takes all the cabling and merges it into two conductors. Same size...

    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    Dual MPPTs, as @rruff mentioned, can allow you to wire your panels in series (or series-parallel arrays) and increase your voltage which is more efficient and allow smaller gauge cable runs to carry the same current. Honestly, that alone is probably worth the hassle for a large array. If one...

    Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

    Great to hear! To add to the thread: since we are talking about builders, one of the main services that Pronghorn offered (besides building) was CAD design of the interior. They will help put together the plan you're imaging and confirm that things will or won't fit. They can even go into...

    On the Total Composite contact page there is a listing on of builders. FWIW, we're having Pronghorn Expedition Vehicles build ours; they are in Alberta but have been great to work with.

    Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

    There are chases for wiring in the roof, I believe and the DOT clearance lights are pre-installed. Otherwise, they are shells which you can spec as you see fit. Individual preferences being what they are, this allows you the most flexibility and value to design the system for your specific...

    They are empty shells - you or an outfitter you select would need to do it.

    How do you handle your high-mounted spare?

    I assume that you've come to a solution already, but in case you haven't, another idea. Getting the spare in and out of its home is something I've spent a ton of time thinking about - as others have mentioned, it never happens in a safe or convenient spot so time spent at the front end making...

    AC battery requirements, and 120v vs. 12v systems

    I have bought but not installed this 12 volt mini split: I have no connection to this product other than to offer another option. It does not need to be mounted on the roof and it also offers heating functionality since it is technically a heat pump rather than traditional AC only...

    How to wire electrical

    Simple rims for modern full size trucks?

    I have the 701HDs and love them. It is important to note that most of Method's wheels are not forged, they're cast like almost every other wheels out there. For most practical purposes, the difference is academic. Also, the standard 701s have a max weight rating (based on size) of 3640lbs per...

    SOLD Dometic CFX3 75DZ - $700 NM

    Replacement Dometic DC power cords are impossible; since I bought a 95DX, I can include that one here. Large compartment basket doesn't fit though, so the cooler is still missing that. Make me an offer!

    SOLD used Autohome Maggiolina Airtop size small $1000 obo, Albuquerque, NM - SOLD

    It is ~48" wide x 80" long. Practically speaking, it is comfortable for two adults between 5' - 5'8". My friend who is 6'3" slept in it alone once and thought that there was no way his 5'3" wife would fit with him. Compared to a RTT that flips open, the over head height is low (~37" at its...

    FLATBED TRUCK CAMPER: DJANGO and the WHISKEY TANGO

    Sorry I wasn't more clear - just wanted to see what the door looked like closed on the inside and maybe even in operation (although I suppose that is more of a video than a pic...). Anyhow, thanks for the updates. That thing seems like a great camper. Appreciate all of the insights and photos.

    FLATBED TRUCK CAMPER: DJANGO and the WHISKEY TANGO

    That is clever how the solar and skylights share real estate. Thanks for the pic @rruff. I was just curious how the door looked from the inside.
