Shake Down Fun

We had been planning on putting together a boondocking rig when a great deal on an 04 Eagle Cap came along. With it's aluminum frame it was just what we were looking for. We already had the 08 Silverado Duramax that we were no long using, so it seemed like the prime candidate for our conversion. I pulled the bed in March and started building the flatbed. We tried to buy a flatbed, but could not find one that suited our needs. Here's a shortened list of what we added. Air bags, Big Wig sway bars, Bilsteins, dually conversion, ac, 400 watts of solar, 4 six volt batteries, 30 gallon auxillary water tank, doors for the sides, and GlowSteps. There is a whole lot more but these are the major items.
