toms camper

I had daydreamed of a removable camper with the cab over bed. What did you use for framing media. I had considered aluminum square tube for the frame, and the entire assembly fastened together with rivits as in air frames. Just cant justify the material cost for minimal weight gains.

thanks

Well thanks for the warm welcome. I will be in Leesburg. south of Mt. Pleasant, and W of Pitsburg. Provided the owners of the ranch didn't rent it out to another family. I may become a roving fabricator, "watch the police and the tax man miss me, I'm mobile!"

you could have done it without removing it from the truck if you could rotate it into position to still use the ram. I have used a porta power and a shot of chain or heavy duty ratchet strap and done the same thing.
