Truck and Camper Setup: BUILDING NEW CAMPER FOR MY NEW 2014 DODGE 550 THIS YR



Hello folks,

Im new to the forum here but not to construction. I thought I would share some photo's from my upcoming build for you all and I am hoping someone would have a clue on how to calculate weight.. Im going to be putting this on a 550 im hoping my weight not going to exceed 7500-8000 pounds.

Im also trying to get some likes and dislike before I complete the build so I will be able to make changes before its to late.

Whats in it.. List to long but here are the high points:
This will have a 12kBTU mini AC/Heatpump, 4-7,000 jacks, 400w solar system with Onan QG 5.5 Propane Gen. 100gl water. w/gray only, composting Can before someone asks lol complete 7-1 theater sound system.. self confined WIFI boster 3,000 ft range many more My Tiny House... 250sf of floor with the slides and another 14X12 Attached screen room for almost 400sq total living space.


Hope everyone is able to view the photo's

Favorite Truck Camper(s): Still deciding
Type and Brand of Truck(s) Owned: 2016 GMC3500dualyy4x4diesel
Type of Tiedowns used: Torklift with Fastguns
Truck and Camper Setup: The plan will utilize a 3500 GMC with a 11 or 12' TC with a full compliment of Torklift hitch components and tie downs. Stable loads if needed will be installed.



I have to say Steve, you are creative. Sounds like it will provide interesting reading for the rest of us. Here's my first three thoughts, I would use T&G sheet metal for the exterior. This product will be cost effective, easy to install and will never de-lamb. Second, I would consider a slide assembly like Host use's. Third, try to install the refrigerator on a fixed wall so you can vent through the ceiling. Good luck with your build.

Type of Tiedowns used: Tork lift fast guns
Truck and Camper Setup: Air bags, tork lift stable loads,Reese extension hitch. Host 11.5' triple slide



What type of jacks are you looking at? The three major jack companies top out at around 3000lbs, most at 2500lbs. That will still lift a 10,000 lbs total weight.
