So the camper is built like a boat. It's a glass tub with embedded reinforcements. It has a few bit of wood embedded in places to use as nailers. Then foam sheet insulation and more glass. Then fully upholstered walls and ceiling inside. It's about as temp stable as you could ask a camper to be...

Chuckles if you saw my first response to your post please disregard. That was the original specs. My camper was custom built to accommodate a full size American truck. This pic shows the correct dimensions accounting for the longer cabin. The front wall of the cabin was extended 9 inches...

Hey 216. The UTE has been awesome. Lightweight and strong. In fact we got a new truck and swapped the whole assembled bed and boxes in one piece onto the new truck. Really the UTE made the whole thing work so well. I wouldn't have liked the slide in camper nearly as much without the flatbed and...

Sorry the that omission. We/it is in north east NV. Elko.

Hey SD, yeah it's been awhile. Moved to north NV a few years ago and been super busy spending time outdoors. It's just easy to get lost in the back country around here and explore awesome country... So it's with great reluctance that we're selling the Fernweh. We love it. It's so well sorted out...

German designed and built camper called Fernweh (wanderlust) Mobile. Not many of them out there and it is an awesome, solid offroad camper. Low-tech and super easy to live with. Has 150watt solar panel, Optima yellow top battery and 1000 watt pure sine inverter. Dometic fridge. Lots of storage...

So I finally made a choice. Although I read a lot of good things about the Elf, I went with a Glo2 for the following reasons. I’ve been using Garmin products with great success for over a decade, and I manage a sporting goods retail store and buy direct from Garmin. Got it all set up and it...

Good to know. Are you using Gaia or something to download maps?

I have no experience with either the Bad Elf or the Garmin GLO. Who has used them and what are your thoughts? I plan on using one of them on my ipad 6 w/wifi only. thanks for the input.

Like this setup, look forward to seeing some of your adventures with it.

Well done so far.

Interested in how you worked out the bracket attaching the snorkel to the A pillar.

Our experience is in line with gsanders - We had a shell model built, specifically so we could use a 2-burner camp stove, a collapsable sink and a 3-gallon water can with a spigot for a water faucet. It all stores well in our "kitchen cabinet" and can be used inside or under the awning. Instead...

jrod - nice old Ford setup

Very nice. All around good looking Avalanche. And nice placement of your CB antenna. Any chance you can share some closer pics of how you attached it to the A-pillar?

Have you looked into a UTE flatbed kit? We absolutely love ours.Easy to install, work with, repair. Super lightweight and strong. It's the standard for overlanders in some parts of the world.

Looks good. I'm looking forward to see it all come together.

Nice writeup. I'd like to build a storage platform like you did. I'm looking closely at your pics...

Looks interesting. Good luck with the build.

Hi Park - from the beginning, our vision of the truck build centered on the potential storage capacity. It worked out and we really like having the extra space for tools, chairs etc. I keep and eye on your posts and blog, and enjoy the travels your share!
