Another example is Baxter State Park. Dimension restriction is 9 x 7 x 22 on Park Loop road.

Looking forward to how the camper works for you long term. I think your visitor really liked that new look interior.

As these migrate out of the PNW to warmer climes there certainly will be calls for some solution. jmnielsen, any thoughts on which ac unit and how to power it? Staying with the Truma family the do make an AC unit called the Aventa Comfort, however I see it is only available as a 220V system for...

chadx, fantastic write up, with details and pictures, nice. Great to see that OEV is being responsive to suggestions and changes. Really interested to see what you decide on solar going forward.

I saw that Northstar made a few tweaks for 2021 which are in production. I want to take a look at an 850 SC. https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/2021-northstar-camper-announcements/

Looks great. You would expect that after so many years the instructions would be updated and enhanced, however on the flip side it could very well be intentional to keep the installs with the certified pro’s and dissuade the driveway enthusiast.. ?

Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like it comes down to whether the spare gets replaced by an aux tank. Hopefully a positive reply from Aero tanks. Doing an engine swap will certainly change things around on that suspension.

As far as I can tell this model year version was max 4.30. I accept that I would have to regear. If I found a truck with 4.30 I would think it had a history of towing. I though the same thing on the Carli. Would be more than adequate for this size truck and what it would be used for. I'm not...

Thanks for the pic! If you installed a flatbed, and were not towing, would you see an improvement in your departure angle without the spare installed there?

Yes that center console would work well for what I need / want. There is a small aft tank that ford uses for the short wheel base chassis cabs, typically used for tow truck bodies. That might work, and would be DOT approved presumably? There is no getting around this being a long truck. When I...

While I go and search, does anyone know what the difference in length of the frame is on the 2005 short bed vs the long bed?

Well getting additional fuel capacity for a gas engine certainly looks to be a chore. As this would be a flatbed the tank needs to go below. The Titan tank would be perfect, 51 gallons, but listed for diesel only. I would guess that the connections and opening for the fuel pump are different...

Besides having the plug blowout after he changed all the plugs my friend mentioned he had to change a few coil packs. I think he may have been buying cheap and not OEM. Other than those two issues, that is all he has had across at least 4 V10's and a V8? Likely 35's, not more than 37's. The...

glock7018, thanks for the reply. I looked at the description you posted when it went up for sale, definitely a nice setup. Fuel. I agree there is a need for more capacity. The short bed that I'm looking at presents as a good opportunity, and I don't think I need a long bed. The Titan tank is @...

Have a look also at Overland Explorer Vehicles in Alberta, CA. They make two sizes of the slide in pop - up, and a flatbed model. The price of the flatbed model includes the tray for your truck. https://overlandex.com/pop-up-truck-campers You can read through this build thread from the owner...

Wheels. So many choices. I want to maintain the payload capacity. The method 305 NV HD fit the bill, up to 4500 lbs. load rating. Also I guess the Street-Loc V.1 lip with undercut might be useful when airing down. The fake beadlock look is a little busy. I have always liked the smoothie's and...

Thanks for the reply Halligan. Good friend has had several V10's, both early and later production. Several F250's, an Excursion, and a couple of RV's. Always happy with them. He had an early V10. Decided to change the plugs @ 100K. Spit one out when he was towing a 28 foot RV. Learned his...

CodyY, Thanks for the reply. I have watched a few of the CJC Off Road YT videos. The Carli setup looks great. I guess I would fall somewhere in between the Backcountry and the Dominator. The pictures of the Goose Gear F350 setup in action looks fantastic, but is more than I think I want to pay...

Hi. I saw your post selling your 2008. You said the center console was a custom piece. Can you share anything more on it? Dimensions, pictures, etc? Thanks.

Currently looking at a 2005 FORD F350 Crew Cab SB 6.8 V10 4x4 as a platform for a flatbed pop up camper. Currently stock condition as it came from the factory. I am looking for any experiences with the 2005 and beyond 6.8 V10 and also with the truck itself as a platform and what changes or...
