    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West DIY/Homebuilt Camper - Flatbed Tacoma Doublecab

    Thanks for the reminder! We totally forgot to mention this camper in our list of things we looked at before deciding to build our own. It was a big inspiration for our floorplan and pushed us to give our build a shot. If the real camper builders think it's a good idea, what have we got to lose...

    Front and Back Walls We picked windows! Post window decision, we had some celebratory beers. We earned it, after all. We’re not very good at decisions some times. We were asked by the cashier if we were building a tiny house. We laughed, looked at each other and then said “Yes! sort of.”...

    You both hit on a big concern of ours. But, in the end, we figured there's only one way to know what it'll be like, and know what we really want in the future. We're expecting to feel side winds the most and are planning to upgrade the read suspension to at least keep things level and hopefully...
