Due to the tailgate delete I was going to lose the backup camera. Instead of spending $100 or more on a camera, i just took the tailgate apart, separated the camera wire from the lock mechanism and then re-routed the camera and attached to the center of the license plate w/some velcro and one...
The solar was originally wired to passenger rear side. My build plan was to put the battery in the bed on the driver side so i re-wired the solar to that location, wires actually fit really nicely between the composite floor of the cabover and the aluminum frame
So the first issue that i had to tackle was dust intrusion. F-150 tailgate is the hardest damn thing to seal in the world. I tried the rockblok, miles of bulb seal and every other option i could think of to keep the tailgate but to no avail. i also decided that it would probably be easier to...
Truck: 2019 F150 SCREW 6.5' Bed 3.5L ecoboost, XLT, FX4 - stock (other than K&N engine filter - ha)
Camper: Camp OVRLND popup
I should have taken more pics along the way but will try to document at least some of what has been done and can probably answer most questions and take more pics if...
on this page you can order for full-size
https://www.hiatuscampers.com/product/hiatus-camper/
and on their FAQ page
"Can you make it for my truck?"
Yes! We can customize these campers for any make and model of truck, including long and short beds or full-size trucks.
The hiatus campers look...
makes sense, i wasted a lot of money on the various sales and reconfigurations before landing on the right rig for our needs. i'm sure you will be happy with it either way, was just throwing out my 2c. definitely understand the loss of money on the trading around of rigs and feel your pain...
can you sell the z71 and buy a full size, maybe a used truck? i wenk through the same damn thing. had a tacoma and went from camping under the cap then a gfc to get the extra room that i thought i could get by with, but eventually decided to sell and just get a full size (f150 crew cab w/6.5'...
just watched a video of the squeeze.... makes me pucker thinking of a fullsize in there in general. I've got an ovrlnd and one thing to know is that it really doesn't stick out at all past the bedrails (custom built to sit completely flush). Not sure about project M. So it doesn't increase...
don't forget ovrlnd campers https://campovrlnd.com/ Also pricey but less than hiatus and well built (i own one and would be happy to answer and questions, not sponsored, just a regular happy client)
i can snap some pics when i get home from work in a week. sorry on the road in wisconsin right now. but looks just like the ones on the website plus a little dust. will get some up next week though.
Love your setup. Still liking the peregrine? I have a 4' ARB and i find it kind of annoying to setup so don't end up using it very often and was thinking about a 270 but they are so friggin expensive and heavy that i'm not sure it's worth it.
sounds good, i messed up and thought you were the one that said "if you look into shipping, i'd be into it"! The blue circle got me, my bad. Let me know if you come east towards Boise though and maybe we could meet up.
I have decided to switch around my setup and no longer need the swingout. No wheel plate but can be ordered from Rigd. Everything is in good shape as this really only spent about 6 months on my truck. Surface scratches present but nothing crazy. I will post pics when I get home from out of...
