I am looking forward to your build. Will you be sharing any budget numbers in your thread?
Sure. I will try and post sources, prices, and such fairly soon. Right now the steel for the frame is pretty cheap....for example, I am paying around $50 for the 20 foot 11 gauge 2x1 and $25 for the 20 foot 16 gauge 2x1. I am guessing the aluminum skin is going to be more expensive than the entire frame.
I would be happy if we kept the price of the camper under $30K, which is less than what you pay for a Lance 1191 new. It might come in as low as $12K to $15K though since I am doing all of the welding and woodwork myself.
The truck was $14K but I put $2800 in Toyo M608Z mud/snow 12 ply tires on it.
