Have had some progress with the truck but I can´t take credit for the job. Got new upper and lower balljoints on the drivers side due to a certain play in them. Turned it in to a shop cause I figured I didn´t have the time or skills and equipment to not go apesh*t over it during the process. Got an 4 wheel alignment as well, and it seemes that it was just in time beforde I would have started to "eat" tire.
My plan for this camper is for it to be pretty small, well insulated, low cog and not to heavy (which will be a compromise of the all beforhand mentioned goals). Therefore it will not be a slide in camper but instead the top part will be fixated to the truckrim like a truckbed shell. In that manner I can utilize the space around the wheelwells for storage (which will end up under the bed). I´m not planning on a cabover area casue the 8 feet truckbed will fit a fullsize bedsection. From what I´ve learned a cabover area is offcourse great spacewise but terrible for causing turbulence which really affects your mpg´s badly. I havn´t made any google sketchup drawings to show you. I´ve gone oldschool and did them with paper and pen. But I just toyed around with apic of the truck and a editor program.
It´will have the basic features of what I´m looking for. A space to get out of the elements and to eat, sleep, cook food and be able to change clothes. Maybe not much compared to a big rv. But it´s just the basics that we need and I´m comparing to what I´m used to.
God it sucks to pitch a tent in windy, wet conditions after a day of bc skiing. It´s way colder with 0 deg celsius and wet compared to minus 10 deg celsius and dry! (or maybe I´m just getting old and weak.)
. Also had to read your second post twice, since the first time I naturally asumed You ment the computer program. Which I do have at work but not the time to sit and make a plan for my camper on workhours. Smart thing though to make a mock-up in cardboard. Thanx for the input!
