Truck is still for sale and sitting if anyone is interested. I drive it every week or two but would love to see it move on to a new home. Accepting offers.
Quite easy. The jacks are electric, controlled with a wire remote control (camper is from 1998). I never love truck campers on their legs, just always seems a little sketch, but I've taken the camper on and off probably 15 times since I've had it.
well, after much discussion we have decided to add the camper to the package and see if anyone is interested in an expedition ready vehicle for $85k (truck plus camper, truck info in first post), significantly cheaper than a built out sprinter, and depending on your needs roomier and more...
Is this still available? Im just beginning to consider selling my current vehicle and starting to see what's available. I would need to bolt a third seat but assuming I can access the frame through the box the same as I would in a normal cargo van?
Thanks
I can’t sell the flatbed, it’s permanently installed on my truck. But, I did have it made for ,e locally and can point you to the manufacturer if you are interested. Mine was under $2000 installed when I bought it. Then fitting the camper would be easy.
The propane compartment still has the 2 propane tanks at this point, which allows the camper to work on its own when not on the truck. The generator compartment is now the battery compartment, so we insulated it and added 300 amp hours of lithium ion batteries, 3000 watt inverter, etc.
$65k is for the truck only. Camper has over $10k in electrical work alone, remodeled interior, etc. We would consider selling the entire rig with a reasonable offer considering this is a fully capable, ready to go expedition camper.
I think an articulating bed would be ideal but for $40k (what I heard from Bowen Customs) I'll risk it. The camper is only connected with 4 tie downs so it can move somewhat side to side, even though it really doesn't move at all with the side boxes.
Its actually really easy to remove the camper. The camper has electric jacks, so while the camper is heavy it all happens with a remote control. They make extension pieces for these jacks which add 6" or 8" and bolt to the feet, which we carry with us in case we need to unload while on the road...
I have a lot more photos and will add some interior shots tomorrow once the rain stops. I live in the foothills outside of Boulder, CO, which is where the truck is also located. Let me know if you are looking for any more specific photos and I can post them, it only allow for 10 per post apparently.
After putting a lot of work into this truck and building it specifically for our camping needs, I am testing the waters for sale. We just had a child and it doesn't look like we'll be taking extended month Baja trips like we were, so it might be time to move this truck. It's in amazing...
