My 2017 FUSO Earth Cruiser steers very good. No wander, no yaw under braking, no yaw in dips. It only has a slight bump steer when going through a big dip with both front wheels. But, if you didn't have a hand on the wheel, you'd never notice it. No corrections needed.
I've own many (over...
The air-con in the rear is directly under the bed, so you'll hear some compressor noise. It doesn't have a very long run time on batteries, maybe 4 hours with no sun.
Its best used by running it as you drive to the campsite to cool the house, then run it until the sun goes down.
OR - plug in...
Another to look at, Caravan Camper shells. All steel, in business for a long time. Small shop, most shells are custom and painted to match your truck. Can take a big load on top. Inovative venting system that pressurizes the bed area and keeps dust out. I've had a Journey model for a year...
It does and it doesn't. For the Single rear wheel, the Diesel usually wins. For dual rear wheels, the gas usually wins, but not always. For the 3500 RAM, it's usually less than a 200# difference. For towing, it's no contest, Diesel wins, not even close...
FYI, if you order a CC it will be provided as an 'Incomplete Vehicle'. You generally can't license it until it has a bed on the back. Because, it can be configured as anything from a tanker, bus or an ambulance.
A PU, is a complete vehicle and will probably have cheaper insurance.
A PU...
On the RAMS, the difference between the PU and the CC is:
PU (2500/3500) is box frame and the width is 42" on the outside rails. There are brackets from the original bed (deleted or not). Removing an 8ft bed can replace with a 7 x 8 1/2 ft flat bed or smaller. A 35" tire will fit under the...
This EXP is still available for the same price. It's now certified by EC and has been checked out by the Mitsubishi dealer. New windshield and new tires of the buyer's choice. Comes with a warranty through EC and Mitsu. Contact Shane at Earthcruiser.
I've had experience with the old gasoline furnace in the VW bugs. Lots of melt downs with that.
Diesel is so much safer because of the low vapor pressure. It's not going to fill the cabin with fumes if there's a leak.
If you are going to tap the gasoline tank, I'd drill through the fuel pump...
Met him when he first started selling the ER's. They sold for $75k! He was a nice guy.
His first camper build was on a 2500 Dodge with a Cummins. He wrote for the Turbo Diesel Register for years, telling about his travels with the camper. Very good writer, his exploits were interesting. I...
The Fourwheeler campers can tolerate some flex. The 2500 RAM Pickup doesn't flex with a fully boxed frame. At least my 2013 with an aluminum flat bed didn't and my 2021 2500 doesn't.
The C&C trucks have a channel frame and will flex more, but still not much.
A gasoline furnace is scary. I'd do a diesel one. I've seen builds that use a small tank for outboard boat motors. Easy to fill, comes with a quick connect.
Are you really going to need the extra GVW? Fourwheeler campers are light. An aluminum flat bed is light. The 2500 RAM has much better suspension for rough roads with the four coil springs. Lots of great options from Carli.
If you need the extra GVW, I'd go for the 3500 pickup WITH a bed...
