    I suspect the price will keep it out of my garage for the foreseeable future.

    Back to the OP question. you need to know what your future camper and current camper weighs, real life weight not imaginary numbers that some manufactures publish. Consider things you will add, tools, firewood, extra fuel - water, toys, computers, batteries, solar ... you get the idea...

    Ram Chassis Cab vs 3500 Pickup for next vehicle? Input needed! For flatbed truck camper.

    One thing not mentioned on a CC truck typically the turning radius is WAY WAY better than a pickup bed sometimes by feet. I knew this already but I test drove a 22 5500 the other day and even though the WB was longer than my 06 it had a tighter radius that was noticeable in the parking lot.

    G500 Ohlin + Thor Spring Lift

    Are your brake lines long enough? Front looks like it is tugging on the caliper. Your rears look factory. Why would you consider the Kings next time over the Koni. What aspect do you feel the kings would solve? Do you recall which ORC springs you went with.

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    Having never met the person I can't say fraud or bad business person. But having owned a company before I understand a lot of the issues. Costs are 2x planned and profit is less then expected. Employees end up making more If he collected a million and spent it keeping things afloat trying to...

    Mastodon motors?

    Daurie I don't have any first hand knowledge but on the + side you obtained something out of them, not saying your value is 100% there but I'm sure others walked away with much much less. Having been in buisness before I understand the ups and downs of buisness but honestly in this economy...

    Swing Arm Rear Bumper options

    So ... did anyone pickup one of these? My friends feel that if you backup into something with the tire on the door you basically will crush the door but somehow being on a tire carrier its support will take the abuse VS the door and more then likely be ok. But on a serious note I'm looking...

    Purchased an Expedition G Wagen

    Yeah with portals the ground clearance makes snow so much easier. I'm my old Unimog I was in 3 1/2 feet of virgin snow and had a blast, but the jeeps couldn't reach the ground as the snow was soft. Unfortonatly Unimogs are so tall and slow they are hard to enjoy in a lot of places.
