Custom built overland Ram camper

That's roughing it too much for me. Think I'd miss my private bath and king size bed.

Yeah, definitely not for everyone.


Although, after posting this, I have a suspicious feeling someone is going to go off the topic of this truck and post about Australian and global truck and campers like this. Just a hunch.

oh well that's what the block feature is for.

Yeah, but I don't like blocking people unless I know they have already blocked me. I feel that if I want my voice heard in a debate or topic then I should at least give other people the same respect regardless if I agree with it or not. I can always choose to not respond or hit the "back" button if I do not agree..... although I tend not to due to my stubbornness.

I see your point, but life's too short to argue too much on an Internet forum.

I don't block too many people here either, but mostly just the ones who either troll all the time or provide no useful information that I can find. And if someone blocks me, why should I care? It's their choice.

edit: and now I've gotten off track, sorry, so .... back to the off-road discussion, I'd like to see all the places he went and TR's.

Perhaps a Tiger Bengal on a Dodge chassis would be for you. Less rough looking. Private wet bath, standup height inside, big cabover bed. My 2006 Tiger has taken me on plenty of off-pavement adventures. See trip reports in the truck camper forum. No it is not a TC, it's a C.

You know what will end up happening? You’ll be out in the middle of knowhere and someone will pull up and camp right next to you!

It's funny because it is true. My wife and I spent a night by the Gemini bridges out in Moab in the back of my old Jeep(this was many moons ago). Went to bed and there was nobody around for miles. Woke up the next morning and there were two other Jeeps camping out within 50 yards from us.

That happened to me one time. Literally in the boonies near Queens, NM. Woman and kids pull up and park right next to my group. She was camping (or maybe living in a car, idk) and evidently she didn't bring much because she borrowed a lot of stuff. Weird and awkward, all rolled into one.

No, thanks. I can be more comfortable and go just as far into the boonies, with an 11 or 12 foot slide in camper on a Dodge CTD one ton 4X4. Been there, did that, decided the camper was too cramped, especially with more than two people in it.
I have seen Sero Scotty Class C motorhomes (chassis-mount campers) on Dodge truck chassis, both 4X2 and 4X4. Much nicer rigs than the one pictured. Sadly, they are no longer built.
I once thought of getting a surplus military 4X4 ambulance to convert into a back country camper, but decided I didn't want the expense or the work.
Now, in my twilight years, I am not all that interested in going where I have to have four wheel drive. If there is a road, there is no solitude, and the fishing isn't all that good. If there is no road, it is off limits to vehicle travel. So, if the Class A can't get there, I don't want to go.
