The Chummer RV Is Part Hummer, Part Chinook Baja, All Awesome
This custom Class B motorhome is called the Chummer because it has the nose of a Hummer H2 on a GM chassis with a Chinook RV conversion.

I, for one, would not want to be stuck behind one in some National Park.

While I do appreciate the ability to piss and shit out of the back without things falling onto the bumper, I'm genuinely beginning to research flame throwing options when I see this kind of shit in the wild.Baja Truck Camper Arrives Combining Gorgeous Cabin, Rugged Ability

On the road pulling the new to us smaller horse trailer. We leave for the Nationals in KY in two weeks
Pics of your extended hitch continue to trip me out.
Have a good trip man! Plenty of time to take in the scenery!

Four new rear tires on the F350 Dually....only $1100 for four tires. Front tires are in great shape as they dont carry a heavy load
Old tire on the right (off rim second spare for our cross country jaunt)

watch out for the fun police...
Any of you folks running a group 4D battery?
Looking to swap my 71AH battery for a 200AH Renogy, just need to sort out a battery box. Looks like Noco makes a decent, but expensive one, but it doesn't have any way to lock it, anybody got something better?

Probably has airbags on all four corners
I figured.
The way that thing is pictured wouldn't even roll down most highways

considering the power to weight ration of that thing, ground clearance isn't the only problem.
I'm using two T105 6 Volt golf cart batteries in a Century Plastics heavy duty battery box, SKU GCE-G, no lock. capacity's 225 Ah, simple and cost effective.
Take out the original motor and slap in one from a Carrera Turbo perhaps
Etrailer is where I found the Noco, I’ll give them another look.
Need to measure, the dual 6v set up would be cheaper, but if I’m remembering right they’re pretty tall, my trailer kidda swoops forward killing vertical clearance. I do however like the maintenance free nature of an AGM

If you go AGM remember that they do come in both 6&12 volt versions. Lifeline AGMs are top of the line. They do cost more but my last set lasted 10 years of extreme service. another thing. Buy the biggest batteries that you can fit. https://batteryguys.com/collections/lifeline I got my group 31s from them with free shipping two working days after ordering them. They use Fedex
What kind of fuel mileage do those big rigs get carrying such a light load? I like that it has a guest bedroom.
My guess is about three fiddy.
27k?
where?
that's almost worth doin!
that's less than some flimsy ass 4WD campers glorified bed tent
Running tractors as bobtail seems to yield 8-10 mpg usually (as opposed to 5-6 mpg when laden).
Whelp, inspected the trailer since today was the first time we've had real rain since buying it, and of course I found a leak. Goddamnit. Luckily it's just a drip through the skylight over the tub, of all places to spring a leak that's not horrible. It's supposed to be in the 80s for most of the week so I think it'll dry out by the time I can get up there and find/fix it. Dicor ordered, need to get up there and measure for vent covers and solar panels anyway.
While I was in there, I spent some time measuring and I have a weird nook under the bed that'll fit up to 4 100AH AGMs perfectly, but just a touch narrow to fit 200AH units. Unfortunately it's not as cost effective, so I have to decide if I want to give up some of the cargo room under the bed. Little bit of re-wiring but it moves the batteries way back off the tongue, brings the batteries inside where it's warmer and gives me space where the battery box is currently for my stinky slinky accessories.

Fun with RV electronics - we're trying to chase down a gremlin in our house battery system. We just got two new Fall River AGM batteries and things seemed fine at first, but now we're not getting proper charging when driving. We can't run the fridge on DC without it drawing down the batteries, which sucks. We'll start with 13.1 or so, drive 4 or 5 hours with the fridge on, and be down to 12.4 or lower on arrival. Alternator was tested and seems just fine, so now we're on the hunt. Open to any suggestions. Hoping it's just a short or something easy. Would love to upgrade to lithium but it's not worth the cash and loss of space in the cabin (batteries are currently in a cage under the floor). Yay.
How is the camper wired to the truck? To run DC on the fridge and not kill the batteries you can't use the trailer plug as the 14 gage wires will not flow enough power to offset the drain of the fridge on the system. On my camper I have an 8 ga wire running off the truck battery through a 50 amp relay and a battery isolater directly to the camper harness. That lets me run the fridge on DC and charge the house batteries
What Eric said, trailer plugs don’t do much to charge a trailer battery, sounds as though you’re just drawing more than you’re supplying.
But, did it work previously? If so it shouldn’t have changed, and it’s time to break out the multimeter and figure out what’s going on.
