Does it get heavy in the rain?

Haha no, all the wood is sealed. Think upside down boat.

Any chance you could share a bit about the shell constructions? I'm about to pick up a fuso 4x4 and build more of a unique custom box and this is the coolest one I've come across so far. Thanks!

Feel free to shoot me a DM or follow @rightlanefever on IG, I have most of the build documented. The box is CNC cut marine grade plywood for ribs, other frame lumber was cedar, sheathed with 1/4" plywood, waterproofed with Grace water and ice. Cheers

The Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 is a popular choice as the chassis for an expedition camper.

Here is a photo of mine, self-built, nearly complete.

Looking good.
What do the actuators lift?

The actuators you see in this photo on the front wall of the camper raise and lower a mounting bar for antennas (CB, GMRS, Ham radio, Weboost) so that they are not in the drag of the wind or smacking trees or preventing me from pulling into my garage before rotating them down or removing them and yet easy button to raise them up so above the cab roof storage boxes and camper box when needed. They still work when lowered just much better signal when raised. Video on this to come soon.

What’s the front axel weight? Thx.

What’s the front axel weight? Thx.

About 8000 pounds; more than enough to support the weight up front.

Sounds like a nice setup. I've always liked the shorties...

I imagine 8000 pounds is the weight of the rear axle?

 

[DzlToy]

Ford's F600 is fitted with a steering axle rated at 7,500 pounds. I would be quite surprised to see an axle (not axel), fitted to an FG that had an 8,000 pound GAWR unless it came from the aftermarket (Fusion, Crane, Dynatrac, Meritor, etc.)

GVWR is 22,000 pounds and GCVWR is 43,500 pounds on the F600. The 'lesser' F-Series trucks aren't far behind.

¿Me pregunto cómo se comportarán estos vehículos en temperaturas extremadamente frías?

I wonder how these vehicles will perform in extremely cold temperatures?
