Other than the noise, it’s a perfect rig. Even tho it’s high mileage, still runs like a dream.
Super singles are definitely a must.
I would like more room and be able to stand up. Ideally I would like a 12ft SRW box truck. But I would also like a stand box camper like a slide in camper, that way I have a truck to use.
I’m basically being given a 2003 F-350 dually. No engine, has transmission. And no bed.
It had a 7.3 PSD and its a 4x4 crew cab.

Then we...
There is always a trade off with trying to have a comfortable place to sleep and carry a bike. I just said screw it and went full on bed. I'm going to either get a small enclosed trailer or a hitch hauler, or both.
Leaving Monday for our around the USA trip, still have some small things to finish. Maybe even build a rear bumper.
