XPCamper Updates

Can we get some more pics of the white dodge with the flatbed? That is PERFECT, I've got the same truck and love the look of it. Did you build that?

Please see post #1 in this thread for links to various sites, Facebook, etc where you will find more pics.

Thanks! So the flatbed looks to be 8'6" long? I'm very impressed with the design, it looks at home on the shortbed instead of looking out of place. I think it's the design of the rear angled boxes. VERY NICE!!!!

Thanks Ponyracer!
The Flatbed is 8'10" as the cabin is 8'9".

Ujoint XP collaboration

In the ExPo "4wd Camper Vans" section there is a thread about a new ujoint van with a flat bed and an XPCamper. I thought I would post a link here for those who don't spend much time in the van section (see post #564):

This looks like it will be quite the vehicle, but what would this platform do that a truck would not? Will there be a pass through from the van to the camper?

Do not get me wrong, I am excited to see this rig come together. Just wondering if I am missing something when it comes to using a van instead of a truck.

With the Van you get:
Shorter WB than most short bed trucks ( my dodge has the same at 139", but my departure angle is a little compromised)
Better approach and departure angles
90 Gallon Fuel Tank ( not possible in my rig, but doable with a long bed truck at a larger WB expense)
11 ft Flatbed
2 spare tires stored in an optimal place for weight balance ( I can carry 2 spares at some storage expense, in the van you don't give up storage)

This particular unit won't have a pass through, but we are planning to incorporate that feature in future builds.
AND, AFAIK, it will be the 1st Van camper/combo where you can remove the cabin and have a flatbed at your disposal.

Thanks for the answer Marc. The pass through alone would be worth it.
