If I had a Porsche. It would really help to curtail the pain of not having a Camper with a shitter in it.
Campers

Not installed, just mocked up. Need to trim a little more, but it all fits and stuff. I am very happy with the results.
Saw a F-350 SRW crew cab non-long bed (does that make it short or medium on the Supers?) with a big over-cab camper.
There was a ton of body roll when he was unwisely trying to hustle that rig up Hwy 40 this morning. Kind of amusing to watch since he didn’t actually jimmydean it.

Short bed 6'6". Probably close if not over the tire load limit sidewall flex accounts for the roll. Only way to deal with a large camper on a SRW is to switch to 16 ply 245/70R 19.5 tires and 19.5 wheels to give you 9000 pounds of load capacity per axle and no sidewall flex. Or get a dually
Stock suspension will compress but the sidewall flex is what sets off the wallow. Trust me I started out that way. Upgraded tires, wheels, suspension. Then finally went to a dually
Where do the dogs stay?On the road again for work.
At home with Ruth this trip. Otherwise they have free roam of the camper when parked and they ride with us in the cab on the road
Abbey and Hank were not fans of Frita until the bed fell down on a turn and they both jumped up. It's now where they ride in Frita.
Frita now being the name of your camper?Abbey and Hank were not fans of Frita until the bed fell down on a turn and they both jumped up. It's now where they ride in Frita.
Love my campers AC, supposed to hit 107 this afternoon

E-Series Revival: Sportsmobile’s Rebirth of the Econoline - Expedition Portal
I don’t think the Ford Econoline gets nearly the credit it deserves. While most of us look at the GT and the Mustang as the blue oval’s heritage cars, I feel the E-Series is equally deserving, perhaps more so. I mean, sure, the GT won a lot of titles. And the Mustang inspired generations of...

Make it a 7.3 diesel, yes. My neighbor gets 8mpg in his V10 2wd van empty. I bet those bitches get 6.Wouldn't say no:

I get 11-14 with my V10. Only time it's gone below 10 was doing 85 into the wind through Utah.Make it a 7.3 diesel, yes. My neighbor gets 8mpg in his V10 2wd van empty. I bet those bitches get 6.
I am getting 15mpg in my 4BT.
My neighbor might have a Dodge V10, I know he wished he got the diesel. Do you have the 8 or 10 speed auto (I forget what homeboy said his RV was)? I was told the E450 motorhomes get about 10-12 with those.
Maybe if you drive 55 you will hit 12. My 350 with the 6.7 diesel gets 10 @70
Saw one of these on my pedal into work today:
My 4BT with 3 speed auto tops out at 60mph, but is no slouch on the hills. Once I get the rest built out, I will weight her again. But the worst I have gotten so far is 15.5mpg on a trip out. I think she was 6700 with the bed and me at the scales.
I scale at 13,300
No.
I'd rather have two of the Sportsmobile I posted if I had that much to waste.
I saw a feature of it last week and thought it had some cool stuffs. But when it was reposted with the price and some points made in the article, I am in the wrong business.
I have a feeling in another year all these one off custom shops will start to die off. With RV sales falling, I don't see a huge demand for $150k+ rigs.
I will prime the fronts and give it all a good coat of satin white finish. Fridge and sink basin in case you haven't followed along.
I was actually looking at something like this with a 4 way split screen and side, front, and rear mounted cameras. But I still need to figure out the wiring on the camera I have.

The nurse who worked my hand surgery owns a house in Georgia but his wife and he live in a Class A for $1200/month for the space near Portland. They are both nurses and have worked all over for the last decade or so. At that price I would rent a house. While the idea is cool, living in RV parks doesn't sound appealing to me.
