We did our first trip in the truck just a quick overnight in the Allegheny national Forest. Found a cool old bus for sale on the way home 1950 Flxible

Sounds like a cool concept. As of right now my plan is to use the two existing 3x3 steel tubes as receivers slipping 2.5x2.5 square stock of the carrier inside of them and hitch pins to secure. I plan to have it pivot to allow access to the rear compartment of the truck. Loading and unloading...

I still have some odds and ends to finish up but it's usable for weekend trips at least. I'm happy with the final weight of the truck, well under 10,000 pounds and that's with 42 gallons of water on board.

Truck is back on the road now registered and insured as a RV so I can legally visit national parks.

rear wall is in. Unfortunately when I went to order the rear exit window they were out of stock but I did order 2 windows for the bed area and 1 for the dinette area. I'm thinking about putting a shower in also

I have a ARB 2500 on my Ram which works ok if mounted low enough to reach. I picked up a clam quick set pavilion for my trooper. It's a standalone canapy and I got to say it's pretty slick. I'm building out my NPR as a camper for a upcoming cross country road trip and thinking about going with a...

Back wall built with exit window framed in. Door opening framed with aluminum angle to stiffen and give me something to mount the rear wall to. FRP panels on outside,trim and butyl tape on the way so I can mount permanently

It's been a productive couple days. Removed all the plywood to get a idea of how I'm planning to insulate and figure out window sizes. I also removed the back roll up door, that thing is heavy as h#//. I'll try to get pics tmrw
