Looks great. Can you share some interior pictures with us (Couldn't get the link to work...but maybe it is me)?

Was the camper on it when that happened?

Everyone OK?

Dude, sorry to see it didn't end well. I read your thread about it on another board.

At least now you can get a heftier truck to build on. Did you manage to get the camper's weight down ?

Pretty neat rig. Do you have any inside shots and any estimates on the final weight?

If I remember...you had airbags installed, right ?
Any thoughts on how to get the weight down now that its built ? 1780 still seems pretty heavy for that rig.
Looks like a good job though, but the weight sure adds up fast, eh ?
I had to be pretty ruthless about a 10' trailer I was trying to keep under a thousand pounds.

It's good to hear the wreck wasn't yours.

yes air bags and added 2 extra leafs(4 total) to the springs.
kind of gave up on the weight after this weekend.
3 full coolers/table/5 sleeping bags/generator/2 batteries/holding tank full(9gal)/20L of water as well/stove/portable bbq/20lb propane and 5 little tanks. the list goes on. :D

still a thought of removing the plywood and replace with tin siding.
glad the wreck wasn't mine either.
