The camper looks great, lovin all the cool truck campers being built lately. Agree with java do a manual fuel mileage check, mine was off by about 1.5 mpg.

It is done quite often but usually to gain clearance for cab over or truck bed side due to mounting a camper that was not built to fit the truck it is being mounted on. It may or may not look like crap. I had a Power Wagon with a 6.5' bed and a 8' popup camper and never had a clearance issue but...

Very nice camper, always have liked Alaskans since I was a young boy.

I think one of the reasons for the lower GVWR is at 10,001 lbs or more registration cost a lot more than the 10K rating, not a big difference between the trucks. My 10K rated truck is handling the weight just fine

Congrats on the new truck! I don't think you will regret going with the gasser.

Some more info on the camper and what I spec it out with. I finally got around to weighing the camper and it came out to 2,140 lbs. which was about 100 lbs. less than Rory thought it would. This weight was with a empty water tank, full 20 lb. propane tank and no camping gear except a double...

Agree 100% with this. I showed up first thing on delivery day to find the owner Rory doing some final detail work on the camper. It was fun to hang out with them and get to know them better something I doubt would happen with a larger builder.

I will have to give them a call, thanks.

Looking good! won't be much longer before it's done.

My flatbed is 9' long, I have a cab/chassis 1 ton which is why it's that long. Didn't do anything special on the flatbed, no headache rack and added 4 underbed storage boxes later. Instead of a seperate "garage" I had a custom made popup camper built that incorporated it into the camper body...

Adventure Trailers in Prescott Az. Built mine, you could also get your FWC thru them as well.

Mine had the 180, if I was ordering a truck I would probably get the 220. For what I'am doing I don't think the dual alternator is really needed.

Also thanks for all the other post, I'am quite the happy camper!!! Sorry for the lack of follow up on this thread but have been extremely busy the last couple of weeks and early Sunday mornings is about the only time I get to play here on the Portal. Now I just need to get out and do some Poppin'.

Thanks for reading my thread hope it helps in your decision making. At first I was leaning towards FWC as well but the lack of customization with them took them out of contention with me. If a custom build is not important to you then a FWC is a solid choice. As far as how much off roading I...

No problem Steve, happy hunting on the perfect truck for you and Souix. Also glad to hear you talked to Bundutec about their campers, I'am sure they can build you what you want. If you can get down to the Grand Canyon I would be more than happy to show you our Bundutec. Doug

Sorry for slow response Steve but Sunday mornings are the only time I can play on the Forum. As to your questions here are my thoughts: 1. Had the electronic transfer case shifter on my 2015 Ram and it worked fine but I just like a manual shifter (even though I prefer auto transmissions go...

Steve thanks for reading my build thread and glad it's been helpful for you. I only have about a inch of clearance at this time and if I have any issue with it touching the cab I will have to raise up the camper. By the way I have a build thread for the Bundutec camper on the pop up camper...

Yes we were there Saturday afternoon.

Thanks Alex. Did another MPG check that was closer to a 50/50 city hiway mix and I'm seeing right at 10 mpg average. See that your from Paso, my wife grew up just North of you in San Ardo.

Truck weight with the Bundutec camper on, water tank was empty, 20lb propane tank was full and no camp gear (except sleeping bags), Full tank of gas. Gross weight: 9120lbs Steer axle: 4160lbs Drive axle: 4960lbs The drive axle finally has more weight than the steer axle (800lbs). Have 880lbs...
