Hello everyone




Any hints or tricks to build this........

but to just have the back end flush with truck bed to the end of the tailgate

I found that image on google images. Its the look I want to go with for a camper. No windows, just plain white wood and 3 or 4 roof vents or sunroofs.

The crew cab is what I want, but an extended cab would do as well. 4x4, gasoline engine either fuel injected or carburated. The main thing I would do is tear out the back window and metal below it for quick, easy access into camper without getting out, slamming door closed, opening rear camper door, slamming that shut and getting the 6am knock.

Guess not, will just wing it then.

The main feature is going to be a bathroom on the tailgate side, have the urinal feed into a pex pipe routed behind the rear diff. Home depot bucket with the top cut out for the bathroom seat, using garbage bags for quick disposal.

I am going to make this puppy light. Since its summer, will just go 2x4 into bed sides, 1/2" ply with glue or good sealant. Make it look like a garbage hauling company or something, but plain no graphics, no phone number. Perhaps have a couple ladders on the roof for show.

Kick out the sliding rear window and saws all the metal back cab and metal truck box front for the stealth in/out. Will have way more room then a van or suburban.

I will still ponder the suburban idea, b/c that was my original blend-in boon docking choice for vehicle.
