That's an awesome rig. I think the guy made one mistake though when building this. I have a Big Foot truck camper and it overhangs the rear of my truck by 3' giving me quite a bit of extra living and storage space. With a truck that size I think he could have extended the camper at least 4'. The length of his rig and mine are the same and mine is mounted on a Chevy 3/4 ton. I would have wanted the extra space. I do like the twin 50 gallon fuel tanks. That's a huge plus.

Nifty truck. These homespun builds can have a much higher level of build quality than something from the RV lot or manufacturer. Not that it's difficult to do.
