2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

Thanks Man

Not gonna lie… after it was “done” (it’s never really done) I was kinda bored

I enjoy the build equally to the usage.

Maybe even more.

Most of us suffer from that chronic ailment

Good luck with the sale of your incredible rig! I have my own RAM 5500 build going on (nowhere close to as nice as yours) and can attest to the huge amount of time and $$$MONEY$$$ that goes into any build like this. I almost had a heart attack when I started adding up all the money I spent on parts and labor and my 2017 still looks like a beat up old truck LOL. Your asking price is very fair considering the build.

P.S. disconnecting the front sway bar on mine as we previously discussed has been an amazing change so far on my truck. However, it has increased a tire rub issue that I have so I have to sort that out. In any case, thanks for your guidance on the sway bar change as it has completely transformed the ride quality of my rig.

Thanks for the kind words and glad the sway bar disconnected works better

Early February was spend exploring the Anza-Borrego Desert in my AEV Prospector and Four Wheel Camper. I completed around 300 miles off-road and enjoyed a full week alone in the wilderness. Most people spend their entire lives talking about doing this or that, going here or there, etc.

Decades ago I committed myself to less talk and more action...

But if you lose your humility in the process, that would be a shame.

Yet all you're doing is talking about a truck no one in here cares about? It's cool you enjoy your tent on the back of an overpriced truck but I don't think anyone in this thread actually cares.

BTW - I spent 2 years living out of a FWC. I've got plenty of experience with them...they're a cool beginner camper but that's about it.

There's a recall on Kelderman radius arms that might be something to look into.

I'm happy to hear that you are slowly coming around and beginning to recognize the amazing value in an American Expedition Vehicle serialized build. It's funny how the human mind works but in your post you mentioned God and I immediately recalled my recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park. Below is a shot of me recently somewhere along the 137-mile Joshua Tree Adventure Route.

Of course, since I was wheeling in Joshua Tree with no cellular service I played the entire U2 - Joshua Tree album in my head. It's sad that you are selling your project - maybe this is your song buddy. I wish you the best, happy trails!
