    Didn't take build pictures (my fault). Continuing project for the last 4 years. Next time I put the camper on the truck I'll take inside pictures. Off now. Was out camping with the Boy Scouts this weekend. Go out about once a month.

    Truck stuck on the side. Put it in the ditch on purpose. Ice slick and cliff on the left side. Interesting spending the night at a 30 degree agle.

    I was just thinking that it reminded me of the camper they built for Chuck Norris on that Alaska challenge...

    What's the bump out do? What's your sleeping quarters like? Does it have a kitchenette? Where does your gear go? Is it insulated? Is there a finish inside?

    You can answer all those questions or simply.... SHOW US THE INSIDE

    That's not terrible. I'll bet with the air bags it handes it just fine. That's actually lighter than I thought it'd be (I was expecting you to say 700 empty).

    Are you trolling us ? This is ridiculous which warrants some of the above responses. Although, I do need a backyard shed if you ever decide to sell cheap. Is there room for a few lawnmowers, edgers ,rakes, fertilizer spreader ?

    I'd guess he started sliding and intentionally over corrected toward the ditch rather than risk losing control and going off the cliff on the other side of the road.
