My '92 F-350 and '88 FWC Keystone.
Skamper 060s
I scrubbed and scrubbed and then I just decided to repaint. It needs some stickers but it came out fantastic. This was the first day I took it out to the beach with the new paint job. Lots of folks came around to take a look at it. I had it on the beach a few times before the paint job and no one came around. LOL Looked a little Sanford and Son I guess. I Only paid $500 for it and have since replaced the floor, resealed the roof, replaced the roof vent and painted it. I still need a pump faucet and there is no fridge but have instead opted for 2 28qt coolers instead. One for drinks,one for food. I plan on doing lots with it in the fall but so far it makes a day at the beach really awesome and it's surprisingly cool with all the windows open

I have practically the same truck as you. The camper looks great!
What have you done to your suspension to handle the extra weight of the camper? Any brake upgrades?

Thanks, I really like the camper and truck together. I haven't done anything to the brakes, but it would be nice to have more braking power. I did the 'zuk mod' for bringing the rear level but it is too soft for the weight of the camper so it sways during turns quite a bit.. I will probably spend some money on new leafs to stiffen up the back end, just hate paying double to ship heavy stuff north...

I upgraded my front brakes to T-100 rotors and calipers with Hawk pads. So far I love them, but I'm not hauling much weight. I had to swap the master cylinder as well.
I upgraded to my old saggy springs to Northwest Offroad rear springs before I knew about Old Man Emu. They're ok, but I'll be switching to OME first chance I get. Where is ANC? Is that Anchorage?
