Took delivery of the camper today and excited to see how this thing develops. Going to be uncharted territory for much of it.

I already have some 2" taller rear springs to install that should offset some of the squat I expect once loaded with gear. Plan will be a relatively basic and light-weight interior camper build to keep under the very low payload ratings when loaded.

Truck was spec'd for light weight for this purpose. Level 1 TRX with no vented seats, sunroof, or other weight additions. Only options added above level 1 are the 360 camera system which also allows for individual camera views of the front tires (thought it may be useful navigating tight spaces with such a wide truck), bed utility group, and off road steps. After market so far is just a wrap and weather tech mud flaps

For the camper- I got the 10" cab over height, anno skins, lift struts, barn doors, flip up hatches both sides, maxxfan vent, nomadic 270 awning, clear window inserts, sliding front window, headliner, positive pressure vent, keder style channel on both sides and some extra studs to mount a bike repair stand on the rear doors.

Only interior picture is stopping to use the back as a standing desk to do a meeting at a truckstop on the way home. Lots of airflow with everything opened up.

Looks good man; taking delivery of mine in the next few month. Jay & Maggie are fantastic to work with.

Good looking rig! You’ll love it.

IME the PP vent helps quite a lot with dust off-road, but you’ll still need very good gasketing around the tailgate. Did you get full barn doors or the uppers?

Be sure to keep the cowling tube that comes with the PP vent — it’s real useful to hold a filter for the incoming air. Mine gets noticeably dirty over time.
