Dangerous? Looks to me like that guy knows how to build things.
It’s not really that much bigger than most 11-footers, as far as overall truck footprint goes.
He extended the front bunk and added a rear porch and (probably) sleeping compartment.
The truck can handle it. It’s probably still lighter than a Host Mammoth.
Trucks are a lot easier to work on than motorhomes - a whole lot easier - and it is four wheel drive.
Probably also a 7.3 diesel. Might even have a manual trans. It’s got five or six proper passenger seats. Campers have their distinct advantages over trailers and motorhomes.
I don’t know why people here pick on it every time it shows up, just because it isn’t a factory stock store-bought rig. Pictures of it keep showing up being driven all over the place so it obviously works.
Knows how to build things? It looks absolutely cobbled together and has its own built-in hill due to the sag in the front and rear. If you doubt me take a close look at the roofline (hint: frowny-face).
They pick on it because it's the gaudiest, ugliest, most redneck attempt at a truck camper ever.
He sure is committed to it, though. I doubt he has any issues at campgrounds where truck campers have to stay on the truck.
