We purchased four leather captains chairs seat for interior upgrade. Looks like this may take 6-7 months before this task is a priority.

Some dimensions (with large storage box on the rear - plus about four inch space behind the cab, the frame/habitat length to where the bumper is mounted should be 14 ft 1 inch) Truck frame top surface is estimated to be 42 inch's off the ground. Subframe and spacer adds about 7 inch's more to...

Now there will be a slow period on my rig development. Logistics, transportation, will delay progress. Tasks: Further bumper fabrication Order single steel parts for the 24 brackets Plan marriage of habitat, subframe, brackets, spring mounts (not as simple as it would seem - welcome tips)...

What's wrong with using a 1000w sine wave converter powered by the alternator, plugged into shore power while driving?

Good advice. The Rig can handle 20,000 lbs. with a payload of 9,000 lbs ++++ The Isuzu NPR-HD has a payload capacity of up to 8,947 lbs and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 14,500 lbs. The NPR-HD also has a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 20,500 lbs

Quote above : Read down my thread further. I never did that! ( for reliability reasons)

Why get those tires? I bought 12 ply 4000lb capacity 12.5 x 37 x 20, for $1600 for four

Will weld this to the back bumper (while swimming in the ocean, we need a safe place for the keys) Baha sur

Funny you say this. How many times have you seen a large pickup truck with a bent bumper? Backing up into a obstacle is not unheard of. Yes this bumper is massively strong. I think using a foundation of a small bus bumper to start was smart. And it was only $400 new. (especially since the...

More progress on the swing away spare tire carrier (at this point since the arm is so heavy and long, we could add a second hinge above the current one)

RV's have inferior construction engineering

Super singles and that decisions was the sole reason I made ALL the choices I did. Spending huge dollars on that set was a disaster for me. In the end my super singles cost $485 each. But that required avoiding American trucks. Most heavy trucks start with dual real wheels and the rear axle...

Exactly my plan. You are right!!!!

Thanks, I know about this. He bought a kit from the supplier of his rig. (earthcruiser passthrough frame) About 95% of what he discusses is the habitat. Mine is done already. (see above) My challenge is the rear of the truck cab.

The RTX 2000 consumes between 20 - 45 amps. Mostly less.

The habitat passthrough is not center, and is about 24 x 30 inches.

What is the suggestion for modifying the rear of the cab for the passthrough?

I'm interested about the Dometic RTX 2000. Mine is 600 amp hrs of batteries (1000 watts solar). After sunset, how long can I run that ?

Thinking about spare tire choices. I have one planned. If I carry only the rubber tire on a 2nd will that be helpful? (Its about side wall damage)

Following this concept (priced this design at close to $1000 - I need to get it done for 45% less)
