Sorry but its a true statement. And not just non diesel owners saying it. I know mechanics in all the big 3 and they will tell you the new diesels are not what they used to be. The engines themselves may be great, but the DEF, ReGen, Emmissions and expensive fuel systems are not the reliable...

Finally finished the front damage. Just need to tweak it a bit, clean up the caulking. I may end up coating it in roll on bed liner. Need to research it a bit more. If I can get a good 2-3 years of use on this I’ll be happy. Need to redo the stupid job on the roof the previous owner did and...

My 2021 Ford with the 7.3 Gas is an absolute awesome truck. The onnnnly drawback is its very thirsty. I get like 15mpg at BEST.

Made progress on the front portion of camper. All set ready to put the skin back on. Next I'll focus on the roof .

Ok, made progress on the build. It’s honestly not that hard. I ended up bracing the interior side with some metal plating. The outside I made a brace out of some sheet metal I had and will put the aluminum skin over it. I can hang from it and it moves zero!!! Once I put more support brackets...

The Top board i think does go entire length, which I may be able to do, the bottom ones probably go up to the window. I’ll see what I do. But ya, my plan is to cut them at different areas. another option so I dont have to peel so far back is to get some aluminum flat stock and make a T or use...

Hey all, so I picked up this Skamper 080s at almost free price of 100 bucks lol. I knew it was going to need the entire roof re-done but what caught me off guard was the extreme damage in the front overhang corner. I was lied to by the previous owner who said it was crumbled up because it...

WOW, I know this is an old thread but you gave me inspiration on my newly acquired 080s

Sent you emai.

She's coming along. Have a few more things to do but they are the more expensive options (Lift, Gears, Tent)

I’m not selling it for 275 + 70 shipping. Thats why I put in my original post I’d prefer more local deal. To not have to ship. Being as I have yet to find anyone local Imay actually think of selling it for 275 shipped or so. Not sure yet.

I may be willing to ship or cover part of shipping if the deal is right.

Yes, specifically Weslaco,TX in the Rio Grande Valley. I put south Texas because I could possibly be willing to travel anywhere in South Texas to trade etc.
