So, my Tacoma has finally hit 210000+ miles, its starting to get a bit tired.
It's time for me to look at new trucks. I'm very much considering a full size truck.
I have a FWC Eagle that I'd wish to keep and modify to fit a full size truck. I know it will need to be raised up. I'm trying to think of ideas to do this.
My best idea so far was to build a Gray Water Holding take to the bottom of the Eagle?
I found this RV tank on-line: https://www.plastic-mart.com/product/958/20-gallon-rv-holding-tank-24h
I could potentially pull off the cross supports on the bottom of the Eagle, Mount this tank to the bottom with some type of adhesive then build a box frame around the tank to give the Eagle the added height and support to the tank and to fit a full size truck.
I'm posting here to ask opinions? Anyone good fabrication or Camper Builds, if they think this would be a good solution or if it would compromise mounting the camper to the truck, it would definitely need longer turnbuckles mounted differently to the full size truck. But since the truck would have a steel bed I could drill holes anywhere that is needed for the mount points unlike in the Tacoma.
Once I have the Eagle high enough I can figure out secondary options for the gaps on the sides. One thing is that the gap on the side leaves enough room to run hose or piping to the Gray Tank...then I can figure out what to do to add some storage or something in those gaps if they are large enough for anything?
The one cool thing about an Eagle in the full size I would quite possibly be able to keep the tailgate on the truck and just close it around the camper.
Thanks in advance for Opinions.
