Ours is the 120" cab to axle length, giving us a 17' camper body. We will be 8' wide and around 6'9" maximum inside height. Good luck with the business venture. Interesting how they knew so soon after you placed the order, LOL. If you need any help or suggestions moving the core material...

Jeep, nice fabrication skills!! Ward

Thanks guys, I consider myself very lucky! Annie is a perfect traveling companion and puts up with all of my crazy ideas :) Steve, on the Bullet, did you happen to make CAD drawings of the cabinets you built for behind the front seats? We are having a walk through from the cab to the camper...

Flylow, I ordered the Kelderman about three weeks ago but thanks for the offer. The King shocks are the ones that Kelderman spec'ed so should be correct ( I hope). We are going with the large inverter as we hope to add more solar panels and batteries down the road. I want to have a small...

Ron, we hope to go with 41" Continental MPT81's on SRW. So far it is all just hope. The only 5500 with large tires was the truck in Alberta but they were the larger 43" tall 15" wide MPT81's. We want to use the 40.6" tall by 12.4" wide Continental MPT81's. Clay at Evolution Machining in...

Delivered to the local dealers lot today. We ordered it the beginning of April so production and delivery took two months, not bad considering it was built in Mexico and delivered to Canada. Dodge Ram 5500 SLT 4x4 Bright Silver diesel. Will leave it at the dealers lot until the Kelderman air...

Well, what did they bring? Ward

I would agree Westyss. I love the maple but we have done that in a kitchen already and are thinking the aluminum cabinets will be a more modern look. Below is a photo of our last kitchen all done in hard maple. We have gone through the Victorian phase and the Arts and Crafts Gamble House phase...

Westyss, that is exactly the dilemma we are having. We want it to look modern, not like my parents RV, and were thinking the streamlined look of painted aluminum cabinets would be nice. As well they are a bit reflective of light possibly to help brighten up the interior. I wasn't aware of the...

Looks great all hooked up and ready to go. Ward

Joe, the drawers on the aluminum cabinets will be very well made as they use them in service bodies except ours will use 200 lb slides in place of the 500 lb slides they use in the service bodies. I cannot repair aluminum except to go back to the manufacturer (which is close by) but can repair...

My wife and I are designing a long term travel rig and have come up against the following issue. We cannot decide whether to make the cabinets out of aluminum painted or Plywood/MDF. Our builder makes beautiful cabinets out of aluminum and the cost is the same and as well made as the standard...

Congrats!! Nice build. Ward

Has anyone tried using something like a RAM mount or Jotto desk to make a swivel table? Ward

What wheels and tires are on the truck? Ward

Bumping an old thread to get some new info if anyone has any. What are people using for internet in remote locations now? I am asking mostly about North America. I have seen products from Thrane and Thrane, Hughes, Moto-Sat. I would like an external antenna of some sort that is as small as...

Totally agree on that end Goodtimes. Ward

Goodtimes, I would agree with you to a point. If it said somewhere when they advertised it something like "to keep costs low to our consumers we have elected to apply poor powdercoating that you will have to replace" then maybe I could accept it. They all (not just OR-Fab) advertise their...

Bumping an old thread but Byrdseye, what wheels did you end up going with? I am using a 2015 5500 and want to switch to SRW. The camper box will have wheel wells to suit whatever size tire we use so it is just the front I have to worry about. I want to go with the Conti's so wheels and...

Are you keeping it on DRW or switching to SRW? Air suspension and lifted? Ward
