Trying to decide on DOT marker lights. Button style or a small clear one. Watched episode 9 for the 5th time last night for helpful hints and noticed your lights. Where did you source your lights. I have spent the morning looking and can not seem to find that particular one.
Thanks!
Progress! Aluminum frame is a beast.
Having had a few Arctic Fox Silver Fox campers, liked the aluminum, did not like the thermal transfer.
I am sure BOC has that figured out. Looking forward to following your interior build out.
I read about the cabin vents and I am giving some serious thought about sealing them up before we mount the box. I was unaware the third brake light was also prone to leaking. Thanks for the info.
Received an email last night that our box is ready to ship! YAHOO! The sad news from Total Composites is shipping cost have gone up AGAIN!
Only saving grace is we are splitting the cost 5 ways for a full container shipped to O.A.T.

While washing the truck in preparation for a ceramic waxing, before our trip, it dawned on me that after the camper box is mounted I will not be able to easily access the third brake light and cargo camera. I had given some thought to moving the entire assembly to the top of the camper box when...
I have an issue when I purchase a product and I have to improve or "fix" it. #Rammounts
My wife and I had a Ram Mount that we really liked in our motorhome, so we decided to try the same one for our new rig.
We ordered vehicle specific parts, mounting brackets and offsets. Then the fun...
Getting ready for our trip NW.
Will will visit friends and family along the way and enjoy getting back out on the road.
We decided to build a temporary rear deck to keep prying eyes at bay and discourage people from messing with the truck.
It may be unnecessary but it gives us piece of mind...
Habitat....the "Composite" part of our Super Camper.
With the help of B.A.D (blue tape aided design) we came up with what we believe will be our home away from home.
The design has been on the hanger floor for well over a year. Yes, we also did computer drawings but you can not sit in your...
Super Singles!
We were able to find tires only a few months old locally, a LARGE commercial tire dealer in Atlanta, at a fair price.
We placed an order with Buckstop a few months ago and we are awaiting parts.
We ordered a front bumper, 5 wheels, skid plates and the much sought after track...
Beginning the build.
Step 1....steps. The truck is tall and is only going to get taller as we go. Stock RAM steps fit well, seem well built and were a reasonable price.
Step 2....heavy parts. The Kelderman box that showed up weighed right at 800 LBS.
3 partial days and:
We went...
Happy New Year!
Well, after 3 years of planning, research and lurking on EP; it is time to share with the group our "Super Camper " plan. "Super Camper" is a name we put on the project itself; no name for the end product yet. I figured it will come to us sometime during the next year or so of...
Thank you for the dimensions….and the PASS! ? We have been researching for over a year and watching a bunch of build videos, researching and gathering information like crazy. Thank you for making the videos. I know it is a PITA to do and deal with but know you are providing helpful...
Trying to think things 10X over! BEFORE final box dimensions are set and sent off to TC in a few weeks. Read through the entire thread YET AGAIN, for heights weights, measurements. Logged all on the note pad. Two measurements I am looking for….please. 1 measurement between the top of the...
I have been following multiple RAM 5500 builds on the forum over the last year or so. This was the first time I was able to see a build in progress by an EP member. All I can say is GREAT JOB Brad. The extra time spent doing it right pays off down the road. You obviously put a LOT of...
If you are still headed to Expo MTN West, would like to stop and say hello. We arrived in Fort Collins this evening, enjoying the good beer and food! Our truck was ordered late May, here soon…we hope! Thanks to all of the RAM 5500 builders on the forum to get the order as correct as possible...
Thank you for the update! Now go drive that beautiful beast! Good luck with your endeavor!
Hopefully our truck will be here soon! Emailed Kelderman today.
Following in the 5500 footsteps.
Any update on how your Transferflow tank is working out? How much lower does it stick out below the frame than the stock one? Picture from the drivers side :). Our truck should be here next month and we will be following in the footsteps of the Ram 5500 combined crew on expedition portal...
