I've got a 34' airstream with a gutted interior sitting in my yard.
With my current Pension snafu. I am living off savings. I will be making 0 large purchases. Owner said she would hold on to it for me. I filled the tires up and pulled it out of the barn with the Tractor. Its under a carport now. Heater works. Couch and seat Cushions are all in the original plastic. Fridge works. Need to figure out the stove is all. Comes with Pots, pans, dishes, and a Coleman stove. Tents and sleeping bags also.
I'm discovering that. I have taken to tying a poncho over the windshield, wipers, and air intake on the hood.
Using a 8 ft step ladder and a long ass Costco snow broom. When it's fluff I clear the sides from the ground and go for a drive. Heavy snow takes a fair amount of time. I wish I had a carport.
Now this makes sense.here ya go
) camper with resultant excellent departure angles
Looks tippy.here ya go
Was it a Norweld flatbed? Those plus a 4 wheel camper are super popular setups for the Ram trucks. The flatbed kicks ass and I'd love one for a camper.Saw a unique rig last night, pulling off I-70 at Quebec St, my exit:
- Quad cab Ram 2500 or 3500 SRW
- flat bed with tiny utility cabinets at the far back edge of the bed, under the camper
- over-cab slide-in (slide-on for a flat bed?
I thought their instagram tag on the back of it was Girlgonecamping but that's some Michigan woman with a travel trailer, not this Florida person's rig, so go figure.
*Disclaimer, I know nothing*
A camper is easy to get off of a flatbed, you just use the jacks. removing the flatbed and installing a regular bed would be a royal pain in the ass
As @eric strt6 says, camper removal easy, regular bed install, misery.

I could see this as a solid option. While Frita still has a ways to go and my feelings might change before she's done, I will say I am so far happy with the route I chose. While I had anticipated being closer to done, she has come a long way.As @eric strt6 says, camper removal easy, regular bed install, misery.
If you need a regular pickup bed, you could always get a service body with the side toolboxes, or even a flatbed that allows for the installation of side boxes and a tailgate. Something like my buddy Aaron has is killer.

It's nice to keep recovery gear, camping equipment, spare tools and fluids outside of the living space.
Sherptek makes a great example of the modular type as you can remove the side boxes with ease and have a flat deck, or keep them on and have bedsides. That is probably the best compromise, cause those bedside and under bed storage boxes are key when actual storage space is limited in a truck camper.
We had 3 dogs in our truck camper, and I know Eric has a gaggle in his as well. Another buddy of mine brings his 110 lb St Bernard and their 50 lb dog camping in his extended E350.
I didn't catch the brand on the camper or flatbed.
2 are actually large, one just thinks he is and is surprisingly heavy for his size.
Yeah, always fun looking at those ovelanders crawl out of their cold roof tent while we are enjoying our morning coffee.
First of all, no true overlander actually uses their roof top tent
vehicle in question....1998 stewart stevenson.....in process of building out/attaching...
most definitely....
My buddy has a stereotypical overlander jeep setup...lifted, big tires, roof top tent etc etc
I did consider the truck camper but like the trailer, I would also like a newer (diesel) truck as well. But I couldn't keep a truck camper at the house, either.
