Here she is, I can honestly say - pure joy!

Home is where you hang your hat. Picked this up when chalking at an arts festival and been waiting to add it to my camper:

 Here's a spontaneous 'toodle', sauntered off an exit on the way home and found this wee slice of heaven:

More interior pics to come..drying out after a deluge. 

 

Needless to say...here's to the next chapter. Whoopee!

 

PS edit: another miracle - magical spinning of previously vertical pictures....

Wooo hooo, having seen Moose Dog and her new camper in person, I can say it is fantastic! I was really impressed! A great truck, really neat utility box, and a wonderful Alaskan CO camper.

Just realized the hat hook is a moose!!! :)

Looks like a great rig! I've always like the service body/camper combo- makes a ton of sense. Congratulations and happy camping. Looking forward to more pics. :)

Great set up MD ! and oh yes we'd like to see some shots of that sweet Alaskan interior and maybe a shot of the rear door and bumper if poss.

 

Q on the service box, assuming you have a 56"CA pick up chassis, what is the rearward fuel filler for, DPF?

 

Thanks

All the time, effort and research that you put into your camper build really paid off! You got yourself an instant classic there, Moose Dog. Great job.

Thanks, everyone! Annnnnd here's the interior. Of course this is the cleanest it'll ever look heh:

 Here's the better homes n gardens shot. My own little house looks like....whatever..., but for some reason the ambiance of an 8' camper gained critical importance.

One thing I might regret is taking the tailgate off, it'd be a nice porch. But attaching the stairs ( dog won't do stepladder steps ) to the tailgate was going to be nuisance. Plus 65 pounds off the back is nice plus = more food and drink I mean useful tools. The utility bumper has a shelf big enough for shoes and coffee cups etc...

Thanks for sharing the stoke

Gorgeous !

 

Thanks for the pics. Glad to see you have the front dinette - best in the business at that.

 

Yeah, I was wondering about the rear with the step bumper etc. I think you could add a nice fold down board to work as a porch, hinged on the service body or on the bumper if the license plate was moved. Just a food for thought comment.

 

Enjoy !
