Ad description:
This beast is a custom build. I build 3-4 of these a year for the last 10 years. Every build is unique.
This camper design was one of the smallest ones I have done. Everything I put into a large camper was fit into this little monster. I had winter camping in mind when designing it. It has lots of room for people. It will fit up to 9 people with all seats installed (seatbelts). Right now I have 6 seats installed making more room for storage or accessories. The shell is a aluminum sandwich panel with PE core. The core is insulated with 2" foam and spray foam in gaps, 1/2" plywood and then padded leather. This creates an excellent cooler in the summer and retains the heat in the winter. The Roof is a 1 piece molded fiberglass with similar insulation.

The outside has 4 coats of colored automotive primer with 4 coats of finish paint on top. So if it gets scratched it wont show through. All the steel trim, roof, racks, rear boxes, solar shower pipes, bumpers, grills, camper/truck connection and trims that sticks out has 4 coats of high end rubberized bed liner applied. All of the black you see in the pictures is the liner. The grey is hardened automotive paint. The bottom and wheel wheels have been coated with a rubberized sealant for water seal and durability.

The camper was attached to the frame on the truck using 1/4 cold rolled steel mounts welded to the frame. They bolt on similar to the cab and move in conjunction with the cab when rocking. There is a specially designed rubber gasket to absorb movement. The connection between the truck cab and camper is done with welded steel triangular spacers wrapped with steel on the outside and insulated on the inside and wrapped with leather. Heavy duty and over kill but done right!

The boxes on the rear are welded diamond plate aluminum. The lower box contains all the batteries and vented for safety. all boxes and finished inside with treated plywood and heavy-duty carpet liner. The top and left vertical boxes are open so you can store long things like skis or outdoor equipment. The tops of the boxes can store extra gas cans or supplies. The under side opens on the bottom which stores the spare tire and tools. There is a heave duty tow hitch which allows you to tow just about anything. The rear rock slide rails will stop any rock from damaging the equipment underneath. The two rear 42 gal tanks are supported above the slide rails. The tanks and rotomoled plastic with 2" foam, 1/2 plywood and 1/16" steel outside for insulation and strength. All tanks heated by automatic electric heat pads. There are two side steps to access the top of the boxes.

On top of the camper sits 2 350w solar panels. there is a steel rack that also supports the 50 gal solar shower piping/ extra water storage. There is a 1/4" black umhw plastic of the sides to protect the panels and piping from trees and debris. its also been bed lined for extra protection. The roof has bed liner and can be walked on. There is a metal rack above the truck cab that can store heavy equipment. Its has been bed lined.
On the passenger side there is a ladder to the roof. there is a awning on the passenger side that covers the door and extends past the window, its been bed lined.

There are no components that hang down under the chasses so you don't have to worry about tearing things off when wheeling. There is 2' ground clearance under the camper. The suspension is stock. It can easily be lifted. Its also been designed so in the future you can install 42-44" super single wheels. The current rear wheels are newly upgraded off-road tires.

outside has a 120 plug, cable tv, and standard campground wiring connector. There is a single out port for draining the black and grey tanks with individual pulls. The water fill has a city hookup as well. There is a outside shower with hot/cold water.

The couch turns into a bed that will sleep 2. The large cabinet also folds into a 2 person bed and has storage underneath for a foam mattress and bedding. A third 2 person bed could be constructed in the rear of the cab. You could also put in more storage, additional fridge, or three more seats (included with unit)

There is a flat screen TV with stereo/dvd and surround sound with 12" sub. This system really pumps in party mode! The flat screen folds down so you can easily access all the electronics and distribution box.

The floor is steel under body, plywood, 2" foam, 1/2" plywood and panned wood waterproof one piece sealed vinyl .

The cabinets are solid cherry with marine lacquer. The latching mechanisms are self tightening aluminum for silent travel. All cabinets have padded carpet inside.

The rooftop ac has vent, van, and heat modes. There is also a vent in the bathroom and above the stove the push/pulls air inside/out. Ac works with the inverter.

There is a microwave/ convection grill powered by the inverter.

The cook stove is a diesel powered induction style stove. Its simple, clean and powerful. It pulls diesel from the vehicles tank. All exhaust is forced outside, its safer that a propane stove. It can also double as an additional heater. This has a high altitude kit for mountain camping.

The water heater / forced air heater is also diesel powered. This unit was 4k Its a smart unit with digital controls.

This camper has 100gal internal heated water storage is 3 different tanks. There are easy labeled valves for diversion and operation. There is a advanced winterizing and drain system installed. All lines, tanks, valves new and heated. There is a second high power pump that can pump internal water outside on top of camper in solar tanks and bypass vales to pressurize solar shower system which is usable in both sinks, showers, and toilet.

The truck has 38k mile on it. Just broke in! No modification were do to the engine or drivetrain so the full manufacture warranty is transferred. 6.7l power stroke turbo diesel. 4x4.

It almost looks 'photoshopped... also, I feel like it needs another set of double rear tires out back for that overhang. Still, I'd love to see the interior and a four inch lift on it--with the extra set of dual wheels. A much more serviceable deuce and a half?

Surely that's a lot longer than 22'? Maybe add some exterior pics that show proportions better. Looks like a nice build and a hell of a deal at $135k.
