Hehe, (having a 985 CTT--pretty damn reliable thus far) and a 1st gen RRS SC (air compressor, both front susp airbags, most all the front and rear end susp bushings, 1 very oddball electrical issue from the factory, front wood door panel inserts cracked yes, it's been a lot of $ for...

Just curious; how was 86scotty (Eric's) post rude, disrespectful, disregarding the golden rule? He voiced his opinion of an Earthroamer being useless for his needs, then his post is deleted by a moderator? That does seem bizarre... Sorry to hear about the poor workmanship. Your RAM model was...

6.0L fully bulletproofed is the #1 choice for some diesel specialty shops. Run from the 6.4L. '15.5+ 6.7L was good, but '11-15 had some problems(Google), and modern emissions component headaches as you mention.

BarryG, did you buy this from Erik Petroni(NeverQuit), as he had his own for sale thread months ago for this same rig?

Great info AndyB. Boxmfr has been in the composite cabin building business for something like 35yrs IIRC...started with commercial refrigeration boxes working with another German outfit. Andreas(yes, a 2nd one like TC's Andreas) is in Vegas, and is heading the USA push. They have lots of cabover...

Agreed with the service writer. Which Rover do you have? Gen1 Raptor over a 958 Cayenne for longer road trips? She's hard core!

$176,000? I think there's an error in translation...

6.4L is the weak link here, otherwise this XV-LT is a deal (well, it's still a deal, just budget for a different engine). Cummins would be sweet, but probably a PITA without taking the body off (huge PITA).

Definitely agreed. The only detail I like in the FWC flatbed (XP Camper/Nimbl has it too) is the under-bed strut-assisted clothing storage, so that some clothes/etc have a dedicated home. Would be nice to see OVE incorporate that, although it'd result in a taller cabover bed section.

Thanks for the info. Been thru the same process, similar thoughts/concerns. Any concerns about the 4seasonablity with the Bison, due to their aluminum "stick" construction and thermal bridging? Or will you be using it only 3 seasons(non-winter)? Driver side entry door, or did you mean passenger...

Good to see the truck/camper doing these types of trails; well done.

Curious what made you decide on the Bison camper, especially on a beefy 5500. Interior layout plans?

If Fifteen52 would expand their bolt patterns, their AnalogHD is NATO-esque; https://fifteen52.com/collections/off-road-truck-wheels/products/analog-hd-asphalt-black?variant=15113773973570 Rotiform's new STL is a bit NATO'ish, however it's forged so will be $$$$...

Thanks for another helpful write-up Chad. Please excuse me, but I'm still a bit perplexed as to the shower drain. The drain hole in the upper pan is at the rear of the camper, but your pics of that pan removed show a rectangular black trough towards the front of the shower footwell...so what...

Peter, any issues with an intermittent extended crank (to start the truck, cold or hot engine)? https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1526145-2017-6-2-random-long-crank-when-starting-2.html My '19 F350 6.2L with 28k just started doing this during a heat wave. But then the issue was difficult to...

They expanded across the street to the blue building, so now there's even more eye candy!

BLIS can be coded out by your Ford dealer, or someone with Forscan.

Link for the lazy?

Huge congrats John!! Now another couple can enjoy the fruits of your labor.

You're one busy guy then, with your full-time gov't job as well in Moab. Keep the excellent pics coming! PS--Andy Biggs says hello, told me about the heckling he gave you on the streets of Moab, LOL! Thx for that link, was just going to post Peter's video for Bret. I'm following Peter in...
