    If you stay at home, which I agree is probably the best choice in a long term situation, your limiting factor will typically how much clean water you have stored. The rest is just simple planning.

    What i would build if $$ was no object

    I pretty much have what I want now, except a few tweaks here and there. If money was no object, I would quit work tomorrow and use it 100% of the time the way it was designed to be used.

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    I'll post some interior pictures very shortly. I purchased a set of Firestone Ride-Rite Airbags to put on the rear tomorrow. The back end has a bit of sag that I want to fix sooner than later to avoid leave springs wearing out prematurely. Wednesday the truck goes in for an alarm system...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    The bed is made by Ute ltd. Initially I was going to use it alone, but ended up getting a suspended sub frame custom made by a local welder. In the end I only use the decking and lights from the Ute.

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Sorry to not answer those questions, the answer is you can see over the tire and even my wife is driving the vehicle and not complaining about it. On back roads with steep climbs, we'll have to see. I t really is made for a smaller tire and would be best if it sat down about eight inches...
