What Perhaps inst of Perhaps instead of reducing the length to the lowest point of the floor before on the departure angle the rear wall and floor could just be extended to eliminate the departure angle but not reduce the overall length of camper. This would solve the problem on the inside...

It will go on a 2000 F-350, crew cab, long bed. I will remove the bed. I need to learn more about the mounting options and preferences. Keeping the cost down is imperative. A flatbed obviously allows the truck to remain useful without the camper mounted, which seems like a really good choice.

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate all this invaluable information. Your input has really boosted my confidence helped eliminate some bad ideas and validate some good ones. I don't want to hijack @TerraOps incredibly impressive build thread and I think I'm ready to get started, so start...

Wow this is great! I have been wanting to build a truck camper for about a year, maybe a little less. I’m ready to build now and have been trying to decide which way to go. I want light weight, low cost, great quality and great insulation. In the last couple of months I’ve made my mind up and...

Thank you for saying don’t be nervous, that’s what I needed to hear! Of all the builds I’ve seen yours is definitely checking the most boxes. When you say "a little more for comfort" are you talking about increasing the height at the very front of the cab-over? Like rather than coming to a...

Sad news: Carbon-Core is only capable of producing small amounts of that foam filled honeycomb and all of what they will be making is pre-sold, and they’re not taking any new orders for now.

So here is another thought; if the honey comb panels are stronger "and available", why not construct then insulate the interior similar to a van conversion? I thought of that too, but if you use at least 1” honey comb and 1” foam (or even 1.5” or 2” foam) then you’re doubling the weight and...

Terra Ops, thank you for the reply. I'm a bit of a novice so thanks for any patience that is required with my posts. I've build five boats out of Plascore (honeycomb) and wet layup fiberglass, and now I want to build a truck camper. Thank you for clarifying that you are happy with the camper's...

Thanks for the offer Derek. Is your flatbed light weight and low cost? ? I'm looking for an 8 to 9 footer I believe. I haven't seen anything definitive on most of the XPS, it seems like a lot of experimentation and testing is still in the works. I suppose my fear of XPS 250 is that it would...

Hello Terra Ops, Thank you so much for this wonderful thread! There is so much great information here, and your camper is really top notch. I’m planning to build a truck camper for an F-350 and will begin just as soon as I can settle on which construction method to use. My truck currently has a...
