You have done a great job. And I know you want it to last a long time. I suggest that you use 3/4 treated plywood for the floor and treated plywood for the walls. I know you are far along ,but the OBS is going to delaminate in moist conditions. BC plywood is going to do the same thing. I...

Has anyone been in the back seat of an 09? I hear they are going to be bigger then a Ford crew cab. That would be good. They say the 2010 big truck will get the bigger back seat.

Does the emergency brake use the brakes to secure the truck or is there an internal transmission brake. The regular brakes work fine it seems.

I took a 2001 dodge3500 in to the dealer because the emergency brake was not holding. $900.00 later I have a new brake job. But still no emegency brake. It is worse now then before. What did they overlook? Even with the truck in gear it still rols down hill.

Does any company make a truck camper for a flat bed? Regular bed or dually? I would think alot of farmers and cowboys would use them.

What type of shocks do you run? What brand of air bags do you like. I have to much sway on my Dodge 3500 with the stock suspension. With one hand on the side on the Lance I can rock the truck 5 inches side to side. You can feel it in a turn also. Will airbags and new shocks help this.

One of the points made during this thread is that a civil position is a whole lot differant than being a medic in the private sector. Civil position is the way to go. In the civil end you know that the person in charge has been where you are. In the private they hire the cheapest person they...

I have been a paramedic for 20 years. I worked North Louisiana and Mississippi out of a Popup camper. I was called a float medic. Where ever I went I could stay in the camper at my partners house. Did that for 7 years before going back on line. Think twice before you choose this as a job for...
