Four Wheel Campers Alaskan Bahn Camperworks Hallmark RV Nimbl Bison Overland Overland Explorer All offer flat deck configurations, among many other companies I'm sure. But I am still going to build my own aluminum and composite panel camper, doesn't take anywhere near a year before it is...

I used to run an aluminum fab shop and the amount of times I have been given drawings on the back of napkins or receipts is too damn high!

Building it myself, I will look into the body builder guides!

Oh sorry, the door is on the passenger side, just as far back as possible, so the whole angled part (the bobbed back) is storage for my clothes and shoes, and one, maybe two 20lb propane tanks. I don't have any fancy SketchUp drawings like most folks have, I have a hand drawn blueprint somewhere...

I was thinking I will put the window/pass-thru in the camper portion, and then if the truck is a good fit down the road I will change out the back of the truck, or just squeeze thru the back window of the truck haha My dad and I have a converted utility trailer we use for hunting, but it doesn't...

Firstly I want to thank every one of you kind folks who have been helping me the last few days, I really appreciate it. I wanted to build a pop-up camper so badly, but I couldn't figure out a good way to have solid sides, without sacrificing too much storage (overhead cabinets etc) and without...

I did test drive it and didn't notice anything that wasn't smooth, the diesel was nice and quiet, and I thought it had good maneuverability, but I am far from a truck girl so all I know is "this is nice". It's definitely a long wheel base and that limits me for trails and parking, but any extra...

I'm starting to lean towards grabbing that CCLB cummins with the aisin trans.. I worry if I don't decide on a vehicle ASAP then it could be ages before I find one, and my house goes on the market in 16 days. And that particular dodge should have a decent resale value if I decide to go a...

Oh I did have it planned to have one 20lb propane tank in the overhang off the back, but the water tank will be between both axles, as well as the batteries

9' long on an 8' bed (the rear foot of the camper actually goes up on a 45 degree angle so only 8 foot of the camper sits on the frame, extra cool points that way) I think maybe I am overthinking it a lot and stressing about going over the legal payload, in reality no one will ever check, and I...

Exactly my plan. Somewhere safe in the back for her. I don’t think dogs can travel in the camper legally either, but I could be wrong.

They talk about their GVWR and weight at the 9:20 mark Their build is incredibly similar to my plan, except they built theirs on a short bed truck for more nimble wheel base length. My camper will be 1 foot longer, but just one person and one dog in mine for the most part. 100% full time...

It is just me and the dog for now but hopefully I won’t be alone forever haha. But I like having the dog secured in the backseat, and I think the extra storage would come in handy for things that don’t really have a home inside the camper like all my work tools/helmets. I’m leaning towards the...

I’m selling my house and building the camper to live in full time with my dog, all year round. So for simplicity sake we’ll say it’s 6’ wide, 9’ long plus a cab over section big enough for a double bed (which is why a single cab truck is sort of out of the question- also my dog rides in the...

I ran through the numbers on the dodge yesterday and it was 82k +tax/fees (crew cab long box, SRW, high output diesel with aisin trans, bighorn package etc which was literally the only truck they had on site) And judging by the “build my Ford” thing online it looks like 65kish for the MSRP for...

It is a SRW, it’s a 2021 So it doesn’t get much more modern haha. I decided against it, I feel like it’s too much money and I am going to meet with Ford about getting a gas 7.3, but I know my dad wants me to get the DRW for better stability. Why are decisions so hard?! Is it cause I’m a...

Yeah it’s a 3500 bighorn SRW, I would have to spend the extra to get it deleted but that’s definitely an option down the road

So there is one vehicle available in my area, that is the new 6.7 high output dodge Cummins with the aisin transmission, has a 4300lb payload, I would gain a little because I’m taking the box off. Any reason this wouldn’t work for me? It’s certainly above my budget but I can finance the rest if...

I have looked at their inventory probably a dozen times over the last 6 months, but I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and decide what model truck I wanted. But I always eyed up the driving force trucks when I was working up north. Definitely a good option for well maintained work...

By the looks of these replies I should definitely be looking at newer trucks, I have noticed quite the jump in payload specs in the more recent years. I'm going to have to go back to work... ?
