they sell them as a work platform for painting etc -

Finally got the back deck project tipped towards finality.
All started because I found these werner alum platforms for 25$ a piece...

Tackled one more small project before diving into back deck.

Previous owner had built some solid temp supports for use when TC is not in truck. They were kind of heavy at like 60 lbs with both...

Easy big fella, just storage for long distance travel - wet or snowy gear can get strapped to ladder or on roof rack.

I'm not building this thing to dry off ur skis!

Working on my first mod for the arctic fox - as beautiful and well thought out this rig is, it is a little short on places to store skis and related gear absent a roof box or back porch storage.

Thanks - pretty happy with the rig though it is quite a bit more complex than a mid 90's bigfoot.

Duramax 3500 and citiation truck camper for less than 10k

Right next to the flowing lake compound!

Pulled the trigger on an arctic fox/f350 combo that I stumbled upon - will be happier full timing in this thing than the project on wheels bigfoot ...

Dunno, but the guy listed his # so it seemed legit - ACH would prob be able to tell by looking, but for that price and chevy platform it would be worth it to convert - I would be looking at it right...

Tiger in Denver locale - might be legit

Who hasn't always wanted their own short school bus - best of the Powerstroke engines, and although it is not mentioned or priced right - it sits like a 4x4. Would be great snipe @ ~4k

Anyone have any experience swapping out house battery deep cycle with a lithium ion?

Nice fabrication project Steve -

^^^Nice set up - any idea of what your payload+tongue weight were? And since it is seemingly 2.5k+, did you modify the suspension? I would love to put my bigfoot on a tundra, but never thought it...

^^^thanks M, good intel. I have been wrestling with installing lithium house batteries vs having a lithium solar generator that I can take inside and charge, or charge on a portable solar set up away...

Last time that was posted, I geeked out a little imagining the layout. My guess is that it is pass (crawl) through from cab, and that the back opening is a garage/wet room, but also pass through....

That thing is awesome - would love to see how the interior is layed out. Cool basement access.

Would be psyched if there were more shell options that you could mate to a f250/2500 size frame like a tiger. Saw this nissan rig which are usally sheet metal and plywood - this one looks like a...

Thanks for info

Do they build the 4by4 model with larger small truck platform?

^^^^that thing is sweet - is that a chevy chassis - any speculations on engine size?

Yup, and the dozen organic brown eggs.

Always window shopping in your hood -

Nice deal for pnw motorhead, a truck and camper combo - the TC is a monster and looks in good shape for 1900$...

PNW truck camper - never seen one of these. Pic of the tag has weight at 1900, which is approx same as similar low end bigfoot. Nice roof rack that looks stock....

Another nice array of TC and other builds

^^ I wondered same as usually pulling something behind TC overhang requires superhitch and extension truss.

Got any pics? I like how this one was done

Already in conceptual stage - just have to finish front bumper box - I am torn between mounting back porch to camper and building off hitch.

This bed is beat up so I hope to remount to a modified...

Exactly on both counts. Agreed on camper weight. I took the stove out to create some storage and lost some other weight in smaller ways. I would be surprised if it is under 2k w/o anything else...

2004 king ranch
The '95 Bigfoot weighs 1850 dry - no basement or a/c model.

The only leveling attempted was the air cells added today.

That is a great idea. So that when engaged will replicate a stronger spring set up? I had a duramax with same camper and the thing sat dead level on stock suspension. I would have thought that an...

Think I might weld a plate for the air cell to land on.

Full size f250 and gmc 2500 have 6.5' beds with crew cab.

I was kicking around the idea of air bags as the truck sat a little too low once camper was in. I think the previous owner really beat up...

Not knowing that ford at some point decided to make their cabs ~ 5" higher, I was forced to build up the bed 3" to gain 2.5" of cab clearance....

If we got some snow around here, would put it to use on some early season jaunts - more likely will try to get it to CO early winter ish....

Back in the TC game again finally - getting tie downs dialed in and should be landed soon. Will post up some project shots as they unfold.
If anyone has a link or experience with mounting a rack for...

I have a bare bones model from 95? - specs say somewhere around 1400 lbs and I have trimmed weight elsewhere - It is more of a hard sided luxury tent. I'm sure mid winter or summer yours is much...

Yikes - my bigfoot is almost 1/3 of that.

Yeah, the dimensions and run time (~12 hrs at 50%) makes it tough not to speculate on the Whouse.

^^^thanks chup - I ended up scoring some torklifts from ebay - going to try the talon aluminum ones on the front.

Portable generators - anyone have a good reason why this wouldn't be a solid choice for an easy to carry ~2kw generator? The similar size honda is like 400$ more -

That van flatbed was gone - locked down this today

^^^now your talking - think I have some pics of builds like that on a box truck frame. Would have to be super shorty, but they do make some nice little ones. Thanks

I was looking at that as well, that option providing a small porch and the additional storage. Would be sweet to build in some aluminum boxes from bed level in that area created by raising. Problem I...
