That looks like the camper that a fellow made about ten years back, a fibreglass version made from scratch. He had a thread on here but deleted it , I might remember his handle at some point but can’t remember right now.

holy crap! Thats ugly!

It is hard to get a soft ride in these trucks, only thing that wasn't mentioned that made a big difference was shocks, good shocks that don't fade with use, maybe an external reservoir type to keep them cooler, they will get a work out. I would like to say that I think I have my truck dialed...

I had a pass through on my design too but opted out for several reasons, mentioned by SkiFreak, the biggest two are complexity of a rising roof and most important to us was environmental, I went to great effort to have the camper insulated from the elements, 2" of wall insulation and double...

I started with the Michelin XDE2+ and those tires went at least 20,000 km's more than the Toyo's that I have been running for the last few years, they wear slower and are a much nicer ride, there was some mention of the XDE2+ chunks coming off but I have found similar issues with the Toyo's...

Yup, sent you a PM

Lol, no problems with any slippage, even with really low pressures with these. Powder coating does have its applications if it's done right but for rims it doesn't work too well. Its disheartening to mount the rims onto your truck and have all the new powder coating crack all around the lugs on...

Hi everyone! I finally got around to looking after my rims. They were in bad shape! At the time I ordered them I had them powder coated thinking that it would be a good idea to protect them.... right from the start on the initial mounting while tightening the lugs cracks radiated...

Looks like Stone Island? you are 4 weeks behind us and that is one of our stops, great spot there!

Well we made it down into Mexico and had been travelling for a few months, we still hole up in the same spot for now until my parents stop coming down here but for now we make do with RV park living, although we are on the beach! We finally have a working hot water heater! After eight years...

Thanks K! Odd that I designed this truck at work too! Lol.

Thanks for the compliment but I thought some of the thread pictures were lost?? Havent looked back at it in a while, some day I may do some maintenance on it.

Hi Shoka, sorry for the delay in replying, we have been on the road for a few months. No problem copying anything on here, its done all the time. If I can help with anything let me know, I do have some other pictures around but I thought most of the information is in this thread, most of the...

Panels on and done, 365 watt panel. IMG_1814%20by%20flyer9112011,%20on%20Flickr'] New controller. IMG_1813%20by%20flyer9112011,%20on%20Flickr'] With this new panel we are in the 655 watt range with the two going, we don't need that much when its sunny out but when there isn't much sun...

I have two separate solar systems on the roof, one set has two conventional solar panels with their own MPPT controller that are functioning normal and the other is a set of three Unisolar stick on panels, again with its own MPPT controller. These Unisolar panels were great when new and...

Trucks got a little over 120,000 Km's on it now, we don't count it in nights but months! Typically we are living in it all winter so around six months a year at minimum and last year we came home from our winter Mexico trip and drove to Montreal from Vancouver so we had nine months living in...

My Isotemp water heater that was purchased on 2010 is getting the boot! When I bought it I made a mistake, I bought one that said "Budget" instead of "Basic".....the budget model was one made by Isotemp for a certain boat builder and was a piece of crap! Not stainless and never worked well...

Thanks! Glad to help inspire the process.

Thanks mate! We have had a great time so far and very much appreciate being fortunate enough to be able to get out there.

Thank you
