I suppose that would work, but I wouldn't trust a camper riding on air for anything over say 15 mph. As one example, FWC does not want/allow anything between the camper bottom and the bed such as a drop-in plastic liner--too squishy to make for a solid mount (higher speeds/paved roads.) A...

I'm not seeing how an air bladder system (unless the camper was totally riding on air) would work since the movement you want to control or plan for is a twisting motion, not a side-to-side.

dstefan--your concerns reminded me of this video. It probably doesn't help you with answers, but interesting to watch...

I'd be glad to give you my $.02 on whatever you are considering privately (PM me), but I'm no mechanic...just an older guy who's had all the same questions over the last 40+ years that you now have. A MAJOR thing to consider...assuming you wouldn't be doing the conversion yourself...is the...

Anything can be converted with enough time and money...however, it really only makes sense to do it to a vehicle that was not offered that way from the factory. This is why full-size vans are common candidates. Most forum responses (this and others) will say just sell your 4x2 and buy a...

I don't know anything about current CA rules, but here is a comment from BaT, and the reply by the seller: --“I believe no smog is required on diesel vehicles with 14,000 lbs GVW or more in california currently, The hood would not even need to be opened to register. ” – "You’re correct! Nice to...

Interested. Would like to have several openable windows in the upper part, at least as an option.

Kicking around the idea of a new 3/4 or 1 ton truck and I really like the size of Ford's SuperCab. It's just the wife and I and maybe a dog, so don't need/want the crew cab...would like to keep the wheelbase shorter...so, considering SC SB. We had an '01 Dodge QC SB, which had the same type...

Mike, thanks for taking the time to write all this up. I am learning and picking up cool tips by following this build and your others. What is the floor-to-ceiling height in the box?

Right.

This looks to be a very well thought-out build with tons of worthwhile extras. A great price--you couldn't come near duplicating it for that.

Nice work. If I'm understanding you correctly on the frying pan cabinet---now you will have to lift the camper much higher, so the bottom is higher than the wheel well so you can load the camper?

In the 2010-2012 time period, they went to a one-piece roof skin, tremendously reducing the chance of roof leaks; a door with rounded corners at the top which is a sturdier design--holds up better under hard usage; composite lift panels, so no more plywood to wear out in 20 years; and a smooth...

Jerry, really appreciate the time you take to share your travels and photos with us. Enjoy your time on the ranch!

Zuber, is that your truck? Very nice, would love to do something similar. However, in checking All Terrain's website I don't see where they offer a flatbed camper for only $8K. They quote $13,995 for the flatbed shell and $9,459 for a slide-in shell. How did you get it for $8,000?

Jerry, congrats on the new motorhome! It's a beauty, not ostentatious. I'm sure it will work out and you'll wonder why you did not get one sooner. :)

I was on the fence for years about buying a fridge. But two things pushed me to the "buy it" side...TeriAnn's advice in her book and the fact that the Engel fridges are on sale for about 33% off with free shipping! I actually think having both a fridge and hi-perf cooler is the way to go...

^^X2! Or maybe not wider. The Tundra is about 1/2" WIDER than a new 2500 RAM. Don't know about the Superduty. And the turning circle for a 2500 RAM is a tiny bit LESS than a Tundra.

Nice work! I'm enjoying following along so thanks for taking the time to post! :bowdown:

:clapsmile Well done, Mike!
