I really like your new camper. I think I found a simple solution to getting in and out. And it folds flat. I googled " tire mounted step ". Here's a couple of pics.

2003 Dodge 1500 quad cab 4x4 5.7L Hemi auto w/ ride rite air springs and 1999(2000?) Hawk

2007 Dodge 2500 quad cab 4x4 5.7L Hemi auto and slowly progressing build.

FYI: I've got a bunch of extra 14ga wire in red and black. Its a thick jacket 41strand wire (likely MTW wire) verse typical 19strand automotive wire. It has good flexibility but factor in the thick jacket. I'll ship out 100' coils for $18 (I can go 50' of ea for that too) if anyone is in need of wire.

Revolutionary world-changing custom bike rack, as described on this thread.

Sorta surprising the see a metal cover on vents in these rigs (unless that's not metal and I'm just seeing it wrong).


ATC uses those metal vents. Not sure what/if the advantage of them is.

Teaser shot looks good DD. Waiting for a full album detailing your new design camper.

What is the black thing between the bike rack and the AT jerry can holder?

The advantage I like about them is that no daylight comes in, when it is closed.

I've got one of these in the forward, overcab area, and with a "no-light" curtain at the edge of the bed, it makes for a nice dark area in the daytime if the windows are also covered.

However, it's better if I'm in the shade, as the camper can get warm with no ventilation when parked in the sun.

The 12 speed fantastic fan in the rear area, let's in a lot of light, open or closed in the daytime.

What we like about the lower profile metal vents is that they are lower profile and will not stress crack like the plastic vents do over time. We can install other than metal vents on request. Have a nice day. Marty

That is a Go-Bee light made by the Go Light outfit. Remote controlled. We thought it would be cool.

Cool indeed. I just bought a GoLight a couple weeks ago for my camper.
