Looking forward to watching your build @Ronmar

If I was gonna go with an M1079, that’s good to know! Little more room in the habitat. The M1079’s weight isn’t crazy like I thought it would be either.

Nice! Do you have a build thread started? The 1083 with 3126 I was looking at is cab and chassis. Bed was removed awhile back but I think a 6x6 would be overkill for me.A good looking overkill though hahaha

We’re thinking the same here @Third From Texas on Neil’s build and bikinis 😏 I’ve had multiple off-road trailers and off-road teardrops and I did like dropping them at camp and go explore/wheel or run back in to town if needed. But some of the switchbacks were nuts with a trailer and although I...

Thanks @Ronmar . Always appreciate your input. I like the shelter box, like Neil’s build. I actually really like it. My concern or view on it though is height. The Alaskan, or other pop up campers I’ve seen. allow the lowering of the camper to be the same height or lower than the cab and I...

I don’t have to keep the bed but I would really like to. My goal is similar to @tennmogger ’s setup with an Alaskan Camper. They’re fairly lightweight and it’s a non cabover, 8’ long. This allows me to keep the bed for when I need it and keep weight down. Removing the bed, building a...

I've read a lot about removing the beds vs zero torsion frames. Have any of these rigs cracked a frame? Lots of loaded rigs in active duty with comm shelters and other heavy loads and they seem to keep going. Also, I've seen a few S-280's pretty built inside (camper builds) that are simply...

I love his build! Chatted briefly with him on FB. Not sure what his 280 weighs now with the cage and stilts. He added Eco Hubs too which is my plan.

Thanks for the input! It's just me and sometimes my girlfriend (she doesn't like to get out as much as I do). The habitat will be comfortable for 2 but more than likely it'll be just me. I don't need a shower inside (outside would be nice), just the toilet part of a bathroom so that can be...

Thanks @Ronmar ! My plans are for North America, Central, America, South America. I don't have plans to ship the rig. I want to drive it as many places as possible. I'll have another rig with me on these adventures but accumulating spares and storing them is a great idea and not too much of a...

Thanks gents! Just what I was looking for. @fuzzytoaster I missed your past post on this in my search. Apologies. @ckouba love your build and appreciate your input/experience. @GeneralDisorder and @serpico760 always enjoy your knowledge. I'm evaluating what I need vs what is cool as well...

Hello SS! Theres a ton of info and knowledge on the 3116/3126/C7. Thanks for all your experience and input! I have a friend who has a couple rigs and normally doesn’t sell but is going to sell me one. She’ll be an expedition vehicle but wanna keep her as light as I can (habitat/camper will be...
