We're selling our 2017 F550 4x4 with Total Composites 2-bed + 1-bath camper with 31k miles.
It's time to move on and let someone else enjoy the outdoors like we did last summer on our trip to Alaska - https://www.instagram.com/arcroamer?igsh=MW1obzhneGd3b2VpYQ==
This truck has a lot of room inside, quite a bit more than similar cab-over setups.
We purchased the truck from August Motors in Kelowna, BC in 2022 and took receipt of the truck in October 2022.
We spent the next 9 months learning the truck+camper and upgrading the systems for a trip to Alaska in summer 2023.
The instagram listed above & the list below detail these upgrades, as almost every system of the truck & camper was changed.
Items marked with an asterisk * were installed after we purchased the truck in fall 2022.
