Hello anyone still following this thread.
We are alive and well and still enjoying the Intercontinental Cruiser. 8 years of 4 months a year away from home. Around 110,000 miles. Still loving life and enjoying meeting friends along the way. Currently in TX eventually headed west. Hope to be at...
Thanks DaveInDenver. I was hoping for some sort of rapid charging situation. On the road it isn't always easy to find an outlet. We boondock all of the time so finding a spot to charge is tough.
It sounds like it is an overly complicated issue. Maybe we should just buy a Tesla battery lol

Is anyone aware of an EV charging system that I can use to charge the house AGM batteries on the Cruiser? We presently have a Samlex Evo charger/inverter. We have two alternators on the truck as well as two solar panels. We spend some time in urban areas and some with no idle laws. It would...
The one thing that has been bouncing around in my brain for a while is why has someone not figured out a way to use an EV charging station to charge our house batteries. Did I miss this somewhere?
We spend a lot of time in urban areas as well, Annie loves to fabric shop, and it sure would be...
We have just been out enjoying the Cruiser. We have put about 60,000 miles on it since we built it. Still love everything about it. Soon we will have to replace our house AGM batteries but they are still doing well enough to keep us charged for a day or two. Covid has kept us pretty close to...
Here is a short video we took this fall leaving the same ditch in one of the videos above. This ditch is about 8' deep and quite steep. Sadly videos never show a true representation of the scene.
For us, the way we use the camper this is all the "flex" we need. The Cruiser feels well...
Yes, I agree, the cruiser benefits from a lot of "cross bracing" inside due to the aluminum interior so the box has no risk of going out of square without it being in a major catastrophic accident.
Here are a couple videos of the Cruiser "offroad". Having been offroad a number of times in the...
When we go through a ditch like the videos the camper moves about three inches. Due to the rubber gasket between the cab and the box there is no issue with the box changing shape. The RAM frame is quite stiff and the aluminum box is incredibly strong allowing the suspension to do most of the...
The only "spacers" we are running are the mounting adapters from Hutchinson. I love the track width, nice and stable but not to wide.
Camper is u-bolted to the frame. No three point mount or anything like that.
There are a lot of this same box running around that are 40 years old. I guess we...
We have a single cab Ram 5500 with a cab to rear axle length of 10’. Stretched the frame behind the wheels and we have an 18’ box and plenty of room.
