Building a Bigger DIY Camper for Our Growing Family – RAM 3500

Hi everyone,
I love being out in nature — escaping the concrete jungle and connecting with the energy of the outdoors.
That’s why I got a Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins 5.9. At first, it was just short trips with a tent or simple picnics. But over time, I decided to build my own DIY camper, and I really enjoy this kind of travel.
You’re not tied to hotel schedules or availability — you can stop wherever you like, whenever you want.
Below are some photos of my Ram and the camper.

Interesting design. Is this a scratch build or did you start with a commercial build and modify it. Of course we are going to need a lot more detail and pictures. I like the canopy off your door. I am doing something similar for my camper.

The build was done completely from scratch — it was my first project.

The way that you've designed the rear door & platform is really interesting. I might copy it. :)
Take your time, I'm starting to build the second camper, the platform there will be much larger and more correct, follow me here or on my YouTube channel, I'll show everything.
