Well, if you shop in the great white north, where we envy the peso along with the warm weather $100K CAD is a meager $75 611.51 USD today (you can go up from there based on personal desires)......and you get design input to a reasonable degree, along with a nice aluminum flat bed, with cabinets...

Got the roof rack on, worked out good. The extra width of the flange on the passenger side over the door is for a Dometic 9500 case awning. Got the ladder on, the bottom 3 feet fold down and reach 18" below the bottom of the camper. Everything is nice and light and super strong. Rear...

And that is probably a very deciding factor at this stage Idasho.

Another product we sometimes use for heavily loaded trucks are Timbren rubber springs. They replace the bumpstop, kind of look like an air bag, have a little bit of travel. One thing they do very very well is stabilize the chassis, get rid of the sway. They are not connected to the axle so they...

Thanks Erik. Production has actually started.

The benefit of designing everything from the deck to the camper lets you come up with some pretty neat and clean systems, at least I think it's neat. I was going to use a pretty stout Destaco latch, but there was no real security features to it, I wanted something positive, but I also wanted...

The wheels are Buck Stop, pretty stout wheels. On the 3500 dually all you have to do is remove the factory wheel spacers on the front, and replace the front studs with rear studs as they are about 1/2" longer and make it through the lug nut nicely.

I'm buying another truck for myself, and built one for Cascadian. Pic of a 3500 60" CA truck, SRW conversion, 35's, no lift. Super nice truck with a lot of capacity.

Thanks, and if you read a little above, Cascadian might have just answered your question! Oh well, it was going to get out soon enough, look for us at ExPo West.

I'm just going to pick up a 3500 box truck for this one, I will be well under stated GVW and tire capacity with this unit. If I go a 60" CA truck there is an extra foot of length (frame) behind the wheels, so the camper could be a foot longer. A 3500 CA truck does present some really good...

A few more pics.... Ever go 70 MPH over 4' of snow in a Suburban with 4 buddies? These were fun, used to build and rent them. My rock crawler, 2300 lbs. was a pile of fun.

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. This is one of the few forums I participate on, and it has a lot to do with the quality of MOST of the folks on here. So here's to the people on ExPo!

I own LITE Industries Inc. LITE is an acronym for "low impact transportation equipment"www.liteindustries.ca. We run a staff of 20-30 people, have some very talented people from design through to completion, it really is all about the team. We manufacture a lot of equipment for different...

That's gotta feel good! Looks pretty straight.

Got some stuff done...roof rack with lifting points and awning mount, rear ladder with 3' fold down so it's easier to access the roof. With the roof only being 10'7" off the ground there is room for stuff up top, it can definitely handle it. There are 4 lifting points so I can pick it up with a...

Nothing beats a spring upgrade, air bags are a cheap band aid. A rear sway bar as mentioned would definitely help too in terms of drivability.

Thanks guys, it's a bit of a process for sure! There is a portable diesel tank in an external locker on the drivers side of the camper. Nice and close to the trucks filler. The camper is designed so it can be removed from the truck really quick and be used independently, on the jacks, and left...

Thanks guys, it now has the half life of a radioactive isotope. And yes it will be on the truck soon, we have just been slammed with work and my days have been very long, which is good! I'm designing a latch system that is spring loaded so we don't have to deal with turn buckles, chains. Think...

She's one beefy rig! AEV really knocked it out of the park, everything fit perfectly and we never had to move the axle forward as the 5500 has a different axle placement that the 3500 already, so all stock links, and steering which is definitely a benefit for maintenance, there was a lot of...

Any time Shane, You might be doing a bit of a self guided tour! Sorry I never got back to you ,it's a little busy. As far as trailers go, it will eventually happen, we build command units for emergency services and some oilfield units. We are moving composites in that direction. They will never...
