It cost $5000.

In between each sheet of aluminun we used silicon.

How much does it weigh do you know?

What kinda mileage does this setup get ? Nice work !

Great build - and I'm just glad to see T-Rex is still alive and well. I have always loved that rig!

Awesome build! What is the powertrain in that truck and what kind of mileage does it get?

where did you get the stepf for the camper? How much? I have been looking for some similar to that. My cabover camper sits fairly high on my f-350 and the steps I have aren't cutting it. Bitchin camper. I got mine for free from my parents and was kept up its entire life so pretty hard to be at the price of free. But definitely not built like yours! Looks like a failing middle school student built it with wood that was turned away form the toothpick facotry

way off topic, but i never realized that you were from ogden! i used to be from the bear lake idaho area. if you think you'd have the time, i know in june/july there is a big car show up there and they have a 4x4 category that i'm sure if you went you could win it

some pansy 78 ford show truck wins it every year. they need a real truck to show them.

this is awesome.

its WAY far beyond my skills and abilities, but I have two suggestions:

1) a splash guard on the end of that counter by the sink, so you arent splashing water from dishes or washing greasy hands onto the bed in the lower bunk

2) dock lights on the side with the awning.

How did you attach the camper to the flatbed? In a couple of the pictures it looks like you have turnbuckles at the corners running from the jack brackets to the stake pockets on the flatbed, but I don't see anything to keep the camper from moving side to side.

Any updates.
