https://www.facebook.com/groups/327177405354035/user/100001007280687 She posted final build pics on the facebook flatbed truck camper group. I assume she will post final product here as well but in case you can't wait here is a teaser pic.

Interesting on the portable scales and weight checks. I thought they mostly picked on commercial vehicles. Guessing there could be an entire thread on driving in California.

Going back to "eye opener about GVWR" is why you see the truck camper world moving towards the larger base vehicles. People started getting actual weights and realized they were pushing it. It is also why you see the general trend in the industry to have 3/4 ton and 1-ton fully fitted overland...

The funny thing is the payloads are low but the towing capacities seem outrageous. The RV dealers will sell someone with a small SUV a large pull behind, hook them up, and send them on thier way. I understand there are brake controllers but 30 feet of fully loaded down RV barreling down a...

Not to Hijack the OG thread but I would like others opinions on using adjustible shocks for towing. I have fox 2.5 resi from accutune. They are great shocks and I have played with the settings but don't really beleive that running on 1 unloaded and 10 loaded would suffice for heavy towing...

Overland Expo is in AZ every May. Between the show and the folks camping there should be several truck campers to compare. There is also a Truck Camper Rally in AZ every year where you could check out models...

Mine seems to do just fine (2022 F250) with stock radius arms. Carli 2.5 lift front coils with 37's. I am not jumping ditches or anything but dirt and forest service roads no problem. Not running stock wheels though.

240 Pics on BAT. One of the best integrations of camper to bed starting with an off the shelf utility body. The modifications to the rear are noteworthy. Appears the spare tire is raised and lowered with Hydraulics which is pretty interesting as well. I would like to see how they modified...

No rear sway on 2022 F250. Fox 2.5 resi shocks with custom Alcan springs for 3,000 lb capacity. If you are running stock springs change those out. Levels the truck and no need for air-bags unless you tow a heavy trailer. I would go Deavers if you can as they are more progressive than my...

Good progression on camping. You are going to enjoy anything you end up with. I like the hardside vs soft as you can toss everything in the cab over and head out. One of the best things about a camper in general is 80% plus of what you need for the weekend is in it and ready. When you get...

deleted second post as it was supposed to be in another thread

Can't speak of experince with Super Tramp but they check a lot of the boxes on campers if you know what you want and they meet your wants/needs. I fall in the "get a flatbed" camp. If you don't need it as a work truck and/or to haul a 5th wheel trailer then I also agree with rruff to do a...

I have a Bundutec hardside that is 7' wide just over 8' long. It is has worked well. Has a cassette toilet with wet bath. I live in MT and most of my ventures are on the weekends. I can dump the cassette in forest service outhouses before heading home. I also tow a raft or small boat so the...

I think you can see the yellow springs under the bed. Not 100% but looks like it was switched over.

As has been mentioned, custom leaf pack. I have fancy fox adjustible resi 2.5's all around. Like rruff, I deleted rear sway. While my shocks are very nice and I presume add to the overall control, I suspect the majority of my trucks ability to work great with a camper has more to do with my...

This is an "it depends" question. If this is the white one it appears to be very well mantained. It is available immediately and depending on your needs that could be what you are after. I would understand the cost to replace the engine as a just in case, worst case scenario. Could be...

Flatbed, 2.5 inch lift, 37's, 4.3 gearing, full front bumper, Bundutec Hardside camper... unadjusted speedo is saying 9 mpg which is likely closer to 10 mpg. I routinely tow a raft or jon boat. I drive faster than most (remeber the unadjsted speedo??). When I am not towing anything I am...

Thanks. Checking it out!

I don't know anything about the Norweld's but I have a steel skirted flatbed and have been considering one from dropout fab. Derek might do some customization for you as well. No affiliation. https://www.dropoutfabrication.com/sled-deck-flatbed I really liked the Norwelds and they were...
