    thoughts on full size

    Look at it like this... What is the CLASSIFIEDS section on here filled with? Mini Tacos and Such... Lots of folks start small, and think it will be enough, and then sell to go bigger. I personally know dozens that have done this. The "Full size trucks cant get to where i go" line is a bunch...

    BeefCake's build...a roll your own Earthroamerish family expo rig

    @lostih If i am reading this all correctly, you were able to run the 41" MPT81s with just a level kit and fender trimming?? Did you move the front axle forward at all like some of those big expensive fancy kits do? Thanks

    Party Rated: Our Ram 5500 budget build

    Id say, contact them and see if they'll pay you to be a rolling advertisement. Some companies would! Especially here in San Diego! :)

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    No first hand personal experience, but with no name clones, they cant possible have the same quality control as the big brand units that have puts in lots of R&D and have substantial liability if something goes wrong.

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    For something like this, with a pretty big safety factor involved and gasoline being a bit more volatile than diesel, i would not risk using a cheap chinese clone. I know some folks use them with no issues, but for my piece of mind, ill drop the coin on the real deal for this particular mod

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    All excellent points! Thanks! Yes, seems diesel requires a lot more cleaning and is more finicky also! Thank you

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    Well, for me, i am camping above 8000ft somewhat often, all of the diesel heaters, even with the high altitude kit, say they are good up to 8000ft. Some say no issues higher, but... The truck will be a gasser, and i am very much trying to avoid propane if possible. Dont want to add diesel...

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    Thanks, yeah, this is my main concern also. The new ram (and some older ones) have an aux port right off the fuel pump for added systems, and this setup seems ideal. See several folks with the Roadmaster vans running this.

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    Yeah, this will be a gas vehicle, thats why im leaning towards gas. House batteries will be charged by solar and by the vehicles alternators while driving, this worked perfectly in my last rig

    Webasto (or other brand) GAS Furnace/Heaters??

    Hey All Planning out my next build, i am going for simplicity and convenience. Having had a propane furnace before, I simply don't want to deal with propane again, and having to refill tanks and such. My camper will have a huge battery/solar bank, and will be able to run most everything...

    @Adrifters - F550 Surf Camper Build - Adrift Motorhome

    I just ordered a 2020 Ram 5500 2 weeks ago (mid Feb delivery) and ordered it with 4.88 gears. I am going to start with 37s on it and see where that takes me. If i need bigger, ill go bigger, but my gut says 37s will be the sweet spot
