My 550 build The "Ford Escape"
- Thread starter Fatboyz
- Start date
Had a request for some of my inside dimensions so here the are. My inside floor length from the back wall to the front of the bed (length down low) is 9' 6" (114"). The total length inside wall to wall including bed (Length up high) is 14'. The bed is 55" X 90 1/2". The height of the bed platform is 32 1/2". The mattress I have in the pictures is 11" thick. Total interior height is 6' 2" (74") (still need to put in cork flooring which will take up another 3/8"). Total width wall to wall at the sink/window area is 92".
Got the FRP up in the bathroom yesterday morning. We had the National Search and Rescue Conference here In town the last few days. I'm the Air Operations guy so haven't had much time. Hope to get the natures head operational by the end of the weekend. We plan to head out to the mountains next weekend. Wish I had the super singles for that!

Well we gave the truck a real first test this weekend. Went west into the mountains. Camped along the Blackstone river. I brought my little dual sport bike and road the remaining 10 km into the mountain gap at first light. Solo sheep hunt. 9 1/2 hour hike. Only saw Grizzly bears. Road out back to camp at Dark. Wife loves the truck!

Edited the thread title because I'm so far past "the start of my 550". We coined it the "Ford Escape" as it has been my sanity maintainer over the last two years. Focusing through work stress with a vision of what this unit will be. An escape from town, an Escape to the Mountains, and an Escape from the electronic world back to simpler living.
Cheers!
