Just don't put poison out, for if they ingest it and then crawl into the nether regions of your rig to die, it can stink for awhile. Use traps if anything. I've heard that some dog hair inside a panty hose, put where rodents might be, will deter them. Have yet to try this though.

Thanks for your feedback. "Trying to go in the direction you're pointed", meaning you'd like to obviously continue going that direction, so if you can winch yourself thru any obstacles to continue going in the same direction, all the better. Winch on front to keep the vehicle from tipping...

Glad you went RAM then!

PS--friend sent me this. Interesting to watch. 200' of line.

Ugh, sorry to hear! :(

Building a new F350/flatbed camper. Won't be a daily driver, so all adventure "gear", as in at least 1 winch, will be staying on the truck at all times. I've been pretty set on aftermarket front bumper(Warn Ascent) w/ bull bar for better approach angle, some animal strike protection, more...

Just got the '20(which is actually '21, as Ford skipped the '20 model year) chassis-cab info. For c-c, it's only 200A single, 240A single, dual alt's totaling 332A, or dual's totaling 397A--all depending on if you're going with gas or diesel engine.

And what happened to your wiring harness; engine, body, which one?

Thx on your C channel thoughts. 397A alternator has to be 2 alt's totaling 397A. Your '17 F250 6.2L; it's a pickup or chassis-cab? 6.75' bed vs 8' bed? 3.73 gears(e-locker in rear or not)? Why do you want the new 7.3L gas vs proven 6.2L gas? I'm planning on upgrading to dual...

Glad to hear of your enjoyment of gas vs diesel. Having had(have) some diesel's, I'm really looking forward to gas for this build. I love how Alaska has the folding cabover hard sides, brilliant!

Thx Kevin. Glad you brought this up as I've been brainstorming this. Already asked Alum-line if they can spray something like Mastacote on the inside of the entire "tunnel box" to help with thermal insulation. Beyond that, could I also apply(myself) something like the foil-backed butyl...

Tell us more why you prefer C-channel for this application. DRW to SuperSingles; this will work easiest if you get an F450/550, as you'll get 10lug, so you can choose from Hutchinson, Buckstop, 1st Attack, or DBL Design beadlocks (Stazworks--see Tom's Kodiak camper and the issues he's had with...

Thanks camper truck! Good to hear on your fuel thoughts. I'm at 40gal, and if my plan for a cantilevered flatbed tray works out, I can not only have the spare back there, but also my 4 4gal Rotopax, for a total of 56gal of fuel onboard. The reason I went RegularCab was because I was initially...

And he sold it for a frickin' song! https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/sold-basecamp-f550-custom-expedition-overland-camper-lots-of-pics.194850/ Now residing in Central Oregon supposedly. Great pictures here, love them! Toyo MT, Toyo RT, Cooper STT Pro...any reason no one has thrown...

Wonderful, thanks Kevin! An excellent setup, love the finishes and equipment chosen, and glad to see you're out enjoying it so much!

Thank you for the suggestion. I've seen them in Mario@AT's campers, and GooseGear has it in their 50Ten. A very nice piece of kit. Sadly it's about 3.5" too deep for the FWC cabinet to right of entry. :( Thank you sir! I hope I didn't cost you a lot of money! ;)

Plenty long for some, not long enough for me.

7'L or less, and aluminum. How long of flatbeds? Not going with homebrew on mine.

Looks like your Pro Eagle is the black 2ton model, no offroady tires. Why no offroady tires like the Beast has? Thx for all of your pics, looking good! I like your rear drawer. Never know when you'll need that surface to autopsy a sasquatch or the like. How many inches do you have between top...

Thanks for your feedback John. We thought about the cassette toilet, we like the ease of dumping, but we already have a smaller Thetford porta-potti with "cassette" section in the bottom of it. We're thinking we'll upgrade to the 565e "Curve" Thetford porta potti, and modify the standard...
