The camper has a sink, an oven, a fridge/freezer, a full size queen size bed, a table (seats 4) and a sh*tter. Its heated, but no AC. Has lots of room for 1 or 2, but thats it. I have put a couple of 100 kms on the truck/camper setup to acclimatize myself and have made the following observations: 1: COG is well north of anything I have ever driven. 2: Any handling gains from the low profile tires are outweighed by the COG. 3: Wind, long sweeping turns, and speed are NOT your friend. 4: The Banks exhaust is noticeable via the seat-of-the-pants dyno. 5: It fits a full size queen mattress. Took the good one out of the guest room and put a cheap one in the house. 6: Camper weighs 2700 lbs and dropped the arse of the truck a full two inches. Airbags going in tomorrow. 7: Anything under a 3/4 ton longbox truck is TOO small for this. 8: The cummins walks it off NO sweat. 9: The heater brings the temp up really fast. Slept like a baby. 10. Bacon and Eggs in a camper is better than in the house. 11: Repete's truck has almost as much chrome as Jeepnut's does. I am a DISTANT third. |

That's sweet!
Don't let the powers that be hear about the high COG, they'll ban campers next!

Needs training wheels. Lots of creature comforts for being on the back of a truck.

Looks awesome Len, that camper is sweet! Btw, where did you get the Banks exhaust? I was looking at some of their stuff but it was going to cost me an arm and a leg to get it shipped here from the US, were you able to pick it up locally?

highly recommend a set of Rancho 9000's in the back. Made a world of difference on my truck and camper for the sway feeling. Crank them up when the camper is on, crank them down when the camper is off. Truckcamperforums.com were the folks that recommended them - worth the investment for my truck.
More bling on the truck heh LOL. Qoute from my 9 year old son when Len is trying to convince him to wash his Jeep... "your Jeep has too much bling" ;D Now you won't convince him to wash your truck either LOL.
