    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    I agree with you on the radius curve thing being super hokey. It really made the whole thing seem rather... well... I guess they are unfinished. I have to say that was on my list of cons for not going with the TC panel system. I thought as long as I'd have to go DIY on a slightly more...

    Aluminum aircraft riveted truck camper frame

    After investigating their method of construction, I researched doing it myself using the same materials. The cost of materials that were used adds up fast, but it does seem the right way to do it, if you're going to go down that path. Are you able to get the sheets to finishing skinning it...

    Another 2020 Ram 5500 Flatbed Camper Build

    I joke, "Some days I think I'm a welder, other days I'm a grinder." Fortunately, my grinding skills are better than my welding skills. Your work is impressive, nonetheless.

    New WARN Ascent HD Bumpers for Full-Size Trucks

    That's a simple three step program. Providing more complete and necessary information in sales information and installation manual would be step #1. Having someone who can effectively represent the company on the internet is step #2. But now that you mention trust, Warn is far from being on...

    New WARN Ascent HD Bumpers for Full-Size Trucks

    I've concluded that if the web site doesn't say the bumper is fully compatible, it probably isn't. I'll go with a company that does promote their product is compatible. The installation instructions are kind of dodgy, which makes me not trust anyone I might call.

    New WARN Ascent HD Bumpers for Full-Size Trucks

    The instructions and info are vague....does it work with the new Ford adaptive cruise control or not? This is not clear. May interfere or will? "This product may interfere with driver assist systems such as adaptive cruise control and parking assist systems that have sensors or cameras...

    Modern truck camper for an adventurous family of five?

    We are also a family of five (9 year old boy/girl twins and a 15 year old girl). We do a lot of different types of camping, with a bunch of trips a year from 10-14 days. The longer trips are usually in the trailer, which hauls our Samurai and a couple motorcycles while the other go in the truck...

    Build: Ram 3500 and Aluminum/Composite Expedition Camper

    Looking good! I like what you have going on there. I happened to stumble on some of the videos while I was passing time on a camping trip in the desert over Thanksgiving week, and so it's nice to see the thread here.

    Custom Built Suzuki Samurai

    I have a highly modified Samurai, and can appreciate what they can do. If you're near southern California, look up Petroworks. They are one of the most highly regarding companies and shops in the country who specializes in Suzukis. I happened to buy my Samurai from a guy who lived down the...

    Prebuilt Campers for a Cab and Chassis?

    That back door...tell me about it! Is that something you offer? I haven't seen it on your web page. What are the dimensions?

    Rerigging my rig,opinions needed!

    I'm not sure if it applies here and I don't yet know much about slide-ins, but I've seen some jack extensions available in a few lengths. Would having an extension allow the jack to pivot forward enough out of the way so you can access your lower boxes?

    Slide in Camper Survey

    Oh that glass window looks so good! I couldn't see myself using Acrylic windows. Acrylic and desert wind/sand and forest branches don't seem like a good combination. I haven't seen the Tern windows, but I've seen many other Acrylic windows, and they just don't look good long term under harsh...

    Slide in Camper Survey

    I'm preparing to buy a new 1-ton long bed soon, and this is something I'm interested in. I will continue to use the truck to tow our toy hauler, so I can't have anything sticking out too far in the back. The camper will also be used by itself as a camper (with folding beds), but it must also be...

    Towing With Hardside Truck Camper

    I know that slab you're parked in front of very well. My buddies ride their bikes up that. Nice setup by the way. What's your cargo and tonque weight combined? I've thought of doing a camper with an enclosed trailer, but that may come later in life after the kids are gone. Currently, we're a...

    Planning on full-timing in an Isata 5 28SS + 4runner

    I've been considering doing something similar. Though the ISATA 5 is on my list, so is the Thor Omni or Magnitude. The biggest downside I see with these rigs is that they're not designed for boondocking. The refrigerator runs off the inverter off the batteries. In order to make this work...

    Spacekap Build

    I've been looking at one of these for months. I'm on the west coast - and I occasionally compete in So Cal Trials, though mainly to develop my boy's riding (he's 8, currently riding an Oset, until I can get him a Beta 80 Jr). Did you get it from Total Composites or SpaceKap? Cost? Shipping...
