    Hello everyone, We have made the tough decision to sell our setup. We're just not able to use it as much as we thought we would... darn work. Here's our listing for it: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/20190-2018-ram-3500-laramie-with-custom-flatbed-side-entry-alaskan-camper/?p=236150

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Alaskan Side Entry Flatbed 8.5' Build!

    Hey thank you! No, we haven't weighed it all yet... We'll try to do it this weekend and let you know. The chassis is another great idea to get the flatbed lower, if we do another build we would definitely think about that.

    Thank you, it was a tough decision but we are very glad to be into a truck camper. Yes, you can access that area under the dinette from outside. It's great for chairs and dog food, everything that you use daily but maybe don't want to pop it up to access easily. Let us know if you have any other...

    Thanks for the encouragement! We haven't noticed a huge difference either... but were hoping to get better MPGs than that. We are also rationalizing it because if we had to stay in hotels, we'd still have to drive there. We definitely agree that it's worth it though!!

    Ha, that was us!! We would have been happy to chat and show you, we just picked it up a couple days before and were road tripping back to Colorado. Darn, sorry we missed you!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Alaskan Side Entry Flatbed 8.5' Build!

    Hey thank you so much!! To answer your questions: We have not used a porta poti and opted to not get the cassette toilet Alaskan uses and instead put in that bank of drawers.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Alaskan Side Entry Flatbed 8.5' Build!

    Hello! We wanted to share our Alaskan flatbed camper build with you and give a little bit of info on how we decided on this setup in the hope that this can help someone else. We originally built out a 2016 Sprinter (that we initially loved!) but after having it for a year we realized while we...
