EDITED I initially had the rough cost here but realized it will be out of date very soon and this thread will be around for a while. I would suggest contacting the sales guys at ITB in Coaldale AB for an accurate quote. Ward

The sister company of TriVan is ITB, the company making the camper on our 5500. Ward

Starting to see some cabinets being done. Ward This cabinet is the one beside the door over the boot cubby. All aluminum cabinets. Fully welded and filled seams. Southco latches. Full extension heavy duty slides.

Moving along now. Interior is all skinned. Now on to building the interior walls and cabinets. Ward

SRQSUP, if you meant thank you to me you are welcome. In the effort of clarity, what we are doing and what Mark (Jeep) is doing are two different things. What we are building here http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/143852-Dodge-Ram-5500-motorhome is an interlocking paneled aluminum...

Thinking about it. For enclosed storage at the back. Something similar to what we are doing but making the back 2-3' storage accessible through two large opening doors may work as well. Similar to the back of a moving van or Sprinter but the rear "compartment" is only 3' deep, or whatever...

Photo Friday's as they have come to be known. Here it is as of today with the wiring done and the spray foam on the interior all finished up. On to interior sheeting starting Monday. Ward

Absolutely agree with Victorian. Mark at Lite Industries (Jeep) is a great resource for a custom camper, especially to take advantage of the low Canadian dollar. Ward

Check out this one we are building on a Dodge Ram 5500. Could easily go on a Ford F550. Like you we will not be rock crawling in it. It is more of a very bad road rig. The off-road capability built in is more to get us out of trouble than in to it. We will come in about a half to a third the...

Thanks Adam. I spoke with Dave at AEV a couple weeks ago and he said that the release of the fenders will be around January first. I am hoping they have a release date to announce at SEMA in a couple weeks. That and some more goodies for the Ram. Since it is ITB (Intercontinental Truck...

Congrats Roger!! Like everyone else, I cannot wait to see your next project. Ward

MoparBob, I have a more complete build thread at http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/143852-Dodge-Ram-5500-motorhome Ward

Not much in the way of visual changes. A couple more window opening cut in and lots more wiring.

A project we are working on. Switching over to single rear wheels using the following combination. Kelderman air ride. Hopefully ready to go by the end of Christmas. Ward

153624, Luke, contact Mark at Lite Industries in Red Deer regarding the wheels and tires. I purchased them through him. He is very knowledgeable about wheel / tires combinations, backspacing etc. Mark is known as JEEP on Expo. He has a build thread going right now showing his new flat...

Some interior wiring shots. Ward

153624, I will get you some more info on the wheels. Ward

Thanks Hitek. I am a big fan of Das Bus as well! Victorian, I wish I had more pictures to share and have asked many times but they just don't seem to be coming. It is in the wiring phase now so not much glamorous stuff happening. They did cut out the holes for the curb side windows though...

Thanks for compliments. The wheels are 11" wide. Ward

I did some quick reading this morning and processed hemp does not set off drug dogs and I would challenge any border guard to pick out hemp fabric. Complain about a Tommy Bahama print maybe but not hemp! :sombrero: Ward
