Ski RV's, who's sleeping in parking lots?

[simple]

Pretty good price. 70k miles isn't much and it is pretty modular layout

Alaskan camper on a f250 7.3 diesel. At 18k way cheaper than van life!

It's a 7.3 IDI diesel. No thanks. That's a relic

Gonna have to agree there. Not worth nearly that much IMO.

4K for the camper is a fair price.

Coming to a parking lot near you!
Maisie and our rig at Shames last weekend. Pretty stoked about the unit, even if between it and the kitchen reno I had to go back to work for 8 months.

The last time I checked Sun Peaks was charging $25/night with no services. OTOH, my 4x4 driveway with internet, some electricity, overlooking Heffley Lake, 18kms from the mountain is available for: You supply the groceries and head wax. But Gary, you likely still have buds with places in Whitecroft.

NGL, if that were available when I needed a rig that would've won. You can run the old 7.3's on full bio, no emissions to pass, *muah*

I'm confused. All the pics are of the cabover but it isn't mentioned in the title or description. Is it even included?

Ha! The ad was edited to remove the camper now it looks like, and price increased for the truck. Dude was probably inundated. Originally it was 14k truck and 4K camper. And the camper is now gone…

4K was giveaway price for that camper

I think it should be reversed: $14k for the camper, $4k for the truck.

Either the camper had major issues, dry rot and galvanic corrosion are top of the list for Alaskans, or they seller had no idea that the camper had more value than the truck.

Yeah. But judging by the elderly couple selling it, I bet it was a give-a-way.

Always love seeing these old tundra rigs.

Right?! And where does gear go?

Back seat of the truck.

I've had 5 months of way too much free-time and needed something to divert my thoughts. So I took the opportunity to inhale deeply on the crackpipe that is ever present in my mind. I've got hundreds and hundreds of days in a 1993 Travellaire Kodiak that has been from Mexico to the Arctic Ocean, all over Yukon, BC, and the rest of the country. I gutted it and rebuilt the interior for true winter 4/season use a couple years ago and learned a lot about what I like and don't like about truck campers. No matter how big your truck, even light campers like this kinda suck to drive in headwind, crosswind, or twisty/icy roads. That downfall makes me not want to drive at night between ski areas on crap roads, so I'm building something to suit my needs.

This is an all foam/fiberglass build. Roof raises 22" then clam shell closes. No wood, no metal. Center of gravity is about 12" off the deck compared to 38-40" for truck campers. It will be nimble, warm, and won't piss me off in a headwind. Shell is almost done. Needs windows, fantastic fan, etc, then I need to weld up a flatbed. Hope to use it to take my kid on ski trips by mid-February. Not a work art, but it'll do exactly what I want it to do. In summer it'll be slamming through brush and taking a beating in remote areas. Even with 60 gallons of water and a steel flatbed I'll be way under GVWR for my 2500.

Weight: It's 520lbs as is, but will be 80lbs more after complete.
Walls: 1.5" and 2" foam XPS
Lift system: 22" 12v linear actuators
Dimensions: W - 7.5ft. L - 8ft. H. - 56" closed. 6'5" open.
Heater: Diesel 5kw
Water heater: On demand LPG
Water: 30g with capacity for 60g
Toilet: Dry flush
Shower: 26x34 shower room
Tanks: No grey or black.
Sleeping: Two beds 24" x 7' plus 30" x 8' bunk.
Interior construction: all foam/fiberglass cupboards, beds, benches, interior walls.
Storage: 3 bins accessible from both inside/outside. Then 24"x7' below beds.

[Hopeless Sinner]

Very cool! Can't wait to see how you like it after using for a bit. No black and grey is prob the way to go for shoulder seasons and winter use.

[Huskier]

Not a work of art

That's where you're wrong. How did you hone your fiberglass skillz? Fuckin impressed.
