Isuzu npr 4wd

Update:

Habitat is in transport down hwy 10 to my welders shop

All metal for the subframe and brackets are cut (not welded)

Next steps: subframe mounted to the bottom of the habitat.

Why?
Mount the tank off your subframe... problem solved!

Thanks for the tip, we just might do that

(hang it off of the rear of the subframe under the rear storage box - fits in-between frame rails)

This would increase my freshwater capacity to 81 gallons.

Stay as close to stock as possible. Therefore no issues on the trail. My truck is still with those guys. (so maybe it was there when you visited) They are installing a auxiliary fuel tank. I'm patient, still building subframe as we speak.

Note: I can deliver the habitat and subframe installed (turn key) for $60K if you want a Isuzu or Fuso build

Thanks. We are a family of six so it takes some serious tetris to fit us in. Currently in a 14’ habitat on a c5500 (@wehartstravel). May try to do another similar size habitat but with a RTT above the cab for a bit more space. I very much like the above cab bunk though.
oh on a prior question try to go as readily available on six for your tires and carry two spares even if one unmounted (depending on your travel plans). We had a set of wheels fail and I ultimately had to import a set to Guatemala. I had plenty of tires but couldn’t imagine trying to source a continental mpt which we run. I know ours is a one off experience but best to be prepared. Local road side mechanics can fix pretty much anything as long as you have the parts. Also I use just a standard steel cable hoist as our spares live above the cab, works well enough. I’m upgrading our hoist now to a Spitzlift and am excited about it.

For steps consider torklift you can find I believe reconditioned on EBay. We like ours a lot.

I start my project with this as the end goal.
