Camperized slide in for my M923A2 Ideas?

[Snowtiger]

Good afternoon since I have joined this forum I have started to really open my eyes to the potential my truck has. I am now thinking of designing a slide in camperized living quarters that when its not in use can be slid out and stored safely. Having said that could I get some of your ideas out there for what I should build it out of and what I would have in it. For starters I was thinking I can do allot with approx. 14' x 8' inside measurements then a fold down deck. I am thinking of what type of material to build it out of or is there something out there that is already close in dimension which is more cost effective to use as a starter. This is going to be my hunting and fishing palace in theory. I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on what I should do if you could spare a few moments.

Thanks a bunch JP

You could start and build one from scratch or get an S-280 and put a lift system on it that raises and lowers the shelter.

Or a shipping container maybe? Is that BC like in Canada eh? You must have a lot of used containers out there that could be modified.

Interesting post... Good Luck.

Where did you get 14x8 inside measurement?

Get a pickup slide in camper, and just check the overhead height for less than 13 feet...Everything ready for ya to have fun in ...I did it and it worked out great...

87" wide is about the max if you want it to slide out or at least that's what the Military uses. The 939 AAR shelter I have in my deuce is that wide and it's a snug fit.
