Package deal only at this time? Interested in price of the truck if not!

MontyPower - I just want to give you some props on the build and the documentation of it. Rig is awesome, just like the one you had for sale a while ago. I'm a HUGE fan of everything you've done on this truck from the buying, suspension choice, wheel/tire combo, etc. Well done and I will...

https://www.thormotorcoach.com/omni/ New 4x4 options available from Thor. Probably not the best setup, but still an option.

I wonder if you could swap out the bed rails with a piece you could roll a tent end under. I don't know how to explain it, but very similar to a soft top on a jeep. Of course you'd have to unhook it each time BUT, you would then have tent fabric that runs to the outside of the bed rails and...

My first instinct is it's not a great idea to put 20-30K miles a year on a rig of that caliber. Not because it can't handle it, but why would you want to simply wear out something like an Earthroamer from a mechanical standpoint in a handful of years. Especially if these miles aren't miles...

I keep coming back to the smaller murphy bed setup... The Isata 5 doesn't really seem to have any usable ground clearance.. the 4x4 would basically be for wet grass, slight mud, snow. The 24' platform (6 feet shorter) on a 4x4 5500 chassis would really be awesome. Bigger super singles...

MontyPower - DC Power Inc. has some monster alternators if your ever needing an upgrade. Quick search shows they have alteast 370 Amps Looking forward to the rest of the build! The superduty gasser platform is really a solid starting platform. I also agree with you, small lift big tires! You...

More Thor products, which is unfortunate, but it looks like you can get their Super C's in 4x4 they also offer a Gas (7.3L) C class with a garage. It's basically the floor plan I posted above + a side load garage. Pretty slick as well. Still not the perfect combo!!! This on a 4x4 diesel...

Something like this (bit bigger) on the 5500 Chassis would be really sweet.

@jkam - I can't speak to the quality, but I think your looking at the wrong floorplan. The 28SS you have no problem sleeping or getting to the bathroom with the slide in.... 30FW has the issues you speak of.

I don't have the money for one, but I'm really liking the DynaMax setup! It would be REALLY cool if they would put out a few more floor plans. I'm a big fan of the Murphy bed/Couch + a dinette floor plan you can find in the Sprinters. A slightly larger version of that on this frame would be...

Do you have a general idea of what kind of payload you'll be at? You can get the newer Ecoboost w/ 36 gallon tanks. On a 2.7 Eco that's some SERIOUS range. I think the payloaded can come in around the high 1000's. 2.7EB with 36 Gallon Tank and the Payload Package (2018+) would be REALLY...

I would have an honest look at an F-250 with a 6.2 Gas. It won't get the miles but the parts are everywhere, and they are pretty dang reliable. Another dark horse in this race is an F-150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost. Also proving to be relatively reliable, smaller and lighter, and get killer mileage.

I am loving all the mods to this rig. We have been looking into Sprinter based RVs to accommodate my wife's/families desire to simply "camp" and my desire to explore a bit more. We also pull some decent road trips to visit family and such. I really wish this was the floor plan we were...

Does anyone know if OverlandEx would build a pop top flatbed truck camper? I can't help but think a flatbed based setup would best for the extended travel. Just because I like adding fuel to the fire, tuned 2.7L eco's will run with stock 3.5's :) you can get the power and mileage all in one!
