Order soon for the Carli, likely take a few months. Have a look CJC off-road on YT. They have done a bunch videos on Carli installs. Give you some idea on lift and what fits. Would you also do the Deaver rear leafs? They recently did a F350 with a service body.
There is also Alu-Cab for the...
Thanks for posting that. Nice addition if you need more storage. If ordering new would be nice to have the choice of raising the window and the footrest. Hopefully some changes coming to the HBE for more storage.
When they announced the BASE-CAMP model there were two versions, soft wall, which is production now, and hard wall which was due to start production in 2023. All mention of the BC HW is now gone.
They also made the X-10, X-12 series, and the Summit. All which are supposed to be on hold beacuse...
Well congrats at least on the camper. I gave up on the used market, at current prices I think it makes a new F350 XLT seem reasonable. How late can you make changes to the order If you wanted to?
Well the optional awning and the shower cube on the driver side are both covered when not in use I think they’ll probably be OK with the occasional branch or something. To me it just seems that the two roof jacks at the midpoint on the camper have some exposure in particular the wiring. I think...
That was asked. The MB guys were very specific. Have to move the vehicle for a regen, and there is no indication it is happening. The system is designed specifically to inhibit regen when stationary. If the regen is occurring and the vehicle comes to a stop the regen comes to a stop it will only...
When the BASE-CAMP was initially announced there was a hard wall version but no interior drawing. Initially production was set for 2023 after the intro of the soft wall. Now it has disappeared from the website. That would potentially have had considerable indoor storage.
Since the lav closet is an option and not standard I would look to put in several drawers, or a combo with a top loading tub like the dinette, and then a pull out low profile lav like the Wrappon. Sort of like the FWC flatbed Hawk. Maybe even fit some batteries there.
BASE-CAMP does have the...
One of the reasons I preferred the HBE is because of the desire to use it and colder temps and inclement weather. Not always chasing sunny days. Having that indoor shower is a big plus to me, as well as the lav. They have the know-how and the skills. There has to be a way to deepen the shower...
Absent the detailed information of what exactly you get with the BASE-CAMP in comparison with the HBE I find it hard to justify the doubling in cost. I already plan on an F350 SRW so that's a wash. They dropped the initial separate AC system to something that requires the truck to be running...
Certainly there are improvements that can be made to the HBE. Moving the shower pan over to the entryway as I believe it has been done on the BASE-CAMP would give some added storage underneath the table. The lav closet could use a rethink, more storage to be gained there.
unfortunately it’s slim pickings for information. Even though they’re taking orders for it and it’s supposed to be in production for 2022 but there really is a lack of useful information. I don’t recall but I don’t think I’ve even seen any interior pictures and how some of the interior equipment...
