    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    We're thinking about the "bifold" idea too, but with the two ATV winches supporting the first section, we don't think that we would need anything else to support the front of the second section. If this concept graduates into a tri-fold arrangement, then we would need support legs at the...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    We're becoming attached to the storage space under the two passenger seats. And we're working on a drawbridge-style rear door powered by a pair of small ATV winches. It would serve as a rear deck when horizontal, and it would serve as at least the first section of a ramp to load and unload our...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    That is so funny- my wife and I are going through all the same things, to include the idea of relocating the intake and exhaust for a pass-through. The idea that we are working right now, does not involve doing that, but does involve cutting off the short vertical wall at the front of the bed...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    We are right there with you. We are considering all options at this point. One of my brothers suggested cutting away the bed, leaving the torsion-free under structure to mount the box to, doing away with the storage "trunk" and giving us the ability to mount the box lower on the vehicle, to the...

    The springs appear to be straight rate, and there is no progressive linkage. It should be linear.

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    That sounds like about 3,700 pounds per inch. At that rate, we'd get a little over 2-1/2" or so of sag.

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    Yeah, I'm measuring about 5'6", and all four corners of the rear suspension are topped out on the rebound bump stops. I'm wondering how much sag I'll get with 10,000 pounds in the bed...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    It appears that a standard 8'6" container would make the truck higher than the legal limits, so we're looking into other options...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    My wife and I are currently in negotiations on that subject. Containers can be cut and rewelded to any length. The MTVR is plenty tall enough to handle the rear overhang without materially effecting the departure angle. ...and we're exploring scooting the container further forward, closer to...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    We just took delivery of our MTVR today. We are planning to install a 20-foot shipping container on the back and build it out into an overland expedition vehicle: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/just-purchased-an-mtvr.194777/
