Mitsu Fuso Camper examples

I do so like these trucks!

It will be interesting to see Four Wheel Campers do something for this market.

Agreed! Something like this FWC pic would be useful for a flatbed app on just about any truck. I think they would sell a bunch if the specs and price are right.

according to this article, reporting from last year's OVEX, there are at least four companies making a flat bed camper.

1) Buy used cabover and get into good working order

2) Buy or build flatbed

3) Buy flatbed camper

4) Save many tens of thousands of dollars over buying a 165k fiberglass box on a new Fuso chassis.

I've seen a few of them, notably Northstar's, and it was a good thing I was sitting at the time. What they were asking for what is essentially a straight-sided pickup camper took me aback. I like your 4 steps better!

Hey, cool rig, Ozzy! And on an Isuzu too! Sure wish we Norte Americanos could get the 4wd models- The Isuzus (at least the ones we get ) have a much stronger frame than the Mitsu FG, plus a much bigger engine(5.2L) and much better automatic trans (6-sp. Aisin).
And CHEERS to you, too!

Hey Buckstopper- The 4 steps DID sound "somewhat" over-simplified(in the sense that it is "somewhat" dark at night), but it sounded WAAAY better than the alternatives......

Started with this



Modified it and put it on this

Don't know why this pic won't show up, sorry.

And ended up with this (after 4 months)

Cost about $25,000 including a used box truck, used camper and solar system (added after the above picture). See my signature for a link to the complete build thread with pictures. Have been living in it for over 4 years now, so far just traveling in the U.S. If I had to do it over again I would spend more and get a newer (or better) camper, had to do a lot of repair work on the one I got, due to leaks and rotten wood.

How many watts is your solar setup? Looks good!

See, Vic followed my four step plan and wound up with a very nice rig for about 25k, which is "tens of thousands" less than 165k

OK, OK... you now have my undying allegiance. If I EVER doubt you again, send out a hit man.....
