1989 Crew Cab Tow Rig Build
- Thread starter Kay86K5
- Start date
No, from RLC Weld and Fab...same as the front bumper
Annnndddd...I just purchased this sucker to put in the back of the crew cab:
2002 fleetwood outfitter toyhauler slide in camper. I had never seen a camper layout like this ever. So when I saw it, I knew I had to have it (plus, it was actually a good price). This solves all my issues as now I can still haul my dirt bikes in the camper, while towing my blazer behind it. Plus, so much more room cause the layout which is exactly what I wanted.
It was for sale up in Loveland, CO, so my brother drove up tonight and picked it up for me and is keeping at his house. Then in a few weeks we already have a plan for me to bring it back to ID. I’m freaking excited!!!

My brother did a walk around video of it...with it sitting in my old truck I sold him, haha:
So stinking awesome man!!!!!
I’m jealous!!!! That’s awesome!
Also, after talking with my brother last night, this thing is pretty tall (though very light, only 1600 lbs dry), I know it won't fit inside my shop while it's in the back of the truck. So my plan is I'm going to build a "roller stand" to store it on. That way I can unload from the truck and set on the roller stand, then wheel it into my 3rd bay and push it up against the wall. And according to my measurements, I should still be able to have enough room to pull my crew cab (or even my blazer) up next to it side by side, in the 3rd bay. That way I can store the thing indoors 
. That will make me freaking happy, haha

I will eventually do some things to the camper to make it nicer all around. Going to do a dual battery setup, swap on electric jacks, get an external generator setup, probably redo the ice box with a more legit fridge, and setup with a good heater/furnace for colder nights. We also want to make this thing self sufficient (stuff it full of pots, pans, cooking tools, blankets, etc). That way it just becomes a hook up and go with minimizing the amount of packing needed. Obviously this all won't happen all at once and will happen over time, but eventually it'll get there.
So will still work on getting this crew cab on the road so I can put the camper in it
. Got an update from Tilden yesterday that they had an engine they were working on before mine that needed extra time, so it has delayed getting mine on the stand and finishing it off. I'm hoping soon it gets shipped so I can work on putting the drivetrain back together.

Minus clothes and food, our camper was always ready to roll. It was nice.
Exactly. That's how I want to set it up too.
Something about the smell of race gas in the mattress that makes me sleep better 
In the pic below, you can see how tall it is next to my brothers semi (his stacks are right at 10 ft tall...so probably 11 ft tall sitting in the back of my brothers truck...my old truck). But when my brother was taking it home last night, he said it hauls real nice in the back of the truck. It was a windy night there last night too and he said it wasn't bad at all. It's real nice that it's such a light camper

rocks me to sleep everytime
Lots of people complain about that gas smell with the big toy haulers and how they gotta have the separate garage. I've never even noticed it unless you're a dumbass and spill gas in your trailer or have a leak. Once you get unloaded and unpacked everything airs out just fine. I love the smell of race gas also but my shit's too cheap for that stuff!
Shits about to get real son
