I see the advantage of the custom leafs. Simple, reliable, and will give you all of the support you need. How does it drive unloaded? I imagine with the really stiff springs it would be bouncy as hell, but you’re probably not really driving this thing around unloaded, are you? Sent from my...

Yes you could go the 450 route and then do super singles. It greatly adds to the cost but it’ll be much more driveable if your camper is really that heavy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

7.3 (diesel) is reliable, but it is slow. The driving experience will be much better with a 6.7. Are you planning to buy new and keeping for a long time? A well maintained 6.7 can easily go 300-400k before something really big breaks. Plus since you aren’t planning to leave North America with...

Any pictures of the underside? It looks clean but I’d like to know how much rust we’re dealing with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it’s one thing to let your dogs or something run around back there while rolling down the freeway. But children should be in a legal seat with a seatbelt (and airbags). You never know what could happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very true. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Victorian - Do you think it would be possible to put a ‘basement’ below the camper? Something maybe 6 inches tall but that extends the whole width and length of the camper floor? Would be very useful for storing the jacks and longer items like skis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even before they decided they were going to assemble the campers for customers, I think they had always shipped them to customers with the cutouts already done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This really only applies I think if you are living out of it though. For multi-day or even multi-week trips I think 2 people will be fine in a slide-in design. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also assume that we will need to head up to BC with our vehicle to retrieve the camper once it is assembled? Probably doesn’t make sense to ship it once it is fully assembled... I like this idea. I don’t want to make any mistakes when putting together my camper and I would definitely pay a...

You’ll save money going to bigger wheels and tires yourself but that aftermarket work you did will basically void a lot of the warranty. I think one important selling point of the Sasquatch package is that it’s from the factory and warrantied by Ford. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also Carli/Thuren both have excellent aftermarket suspension options. The benefit of going with RAM 3500 is that Thuren has some really excellent packages that drastically improve on/off road handling for much cheaper than Carli (from what I can tell). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does the 4x4 conversion include a super single conversion as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s not too bad! I think if I could keep it below 1200 pounds dry it would work. I’m anxious to see how other people build theirs out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you know what the weight might be for a shell that is 6’4 floor length (fits inside the box on ram 2500)? I have a power wagon so my payload is quite low (about 1500 pounds). I really want to put a true four season hard sided camper on it but I really can’t find any that are light enough...

That is extremely helpful thank you! Great job on the build so far. Very well thought out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any reason in particular you went with the separate air heater and water heater? In a lot of these builds these days I feel like everyone is going to a combo hydronic diesel air/water heater. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is my plan exactly too. I think this current box would be heavier than 5000 pounds though which would put it over the weight limit of the E-350 SRW. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
