Largest Box on 1083/1088

That has a number of panels joined together. If you were thinking of going fiberglass, I'd recommend Bigfoot trailers. They'll definitely be more expensive than that, but they are clamshell construction with one big piece for the top and one for the bottom. The only structural seam they have is where the two halves are joined. I've had both a slide-in truck camper and a bumper pull trailer from them and they are impressive- very well insulated, nicely laid out, well featured.

Our 1500 series truck campers include the 8.2, 9.5FS and 9.5FR shortbox models and the 9.5FS and 9.5FR longbox models. This series is our lightest weight and features R6 1" high-density EPS insulation along with a package of upgraded features and options.

A trailer mounted on the back of a 1083/1088 would be a pretty decent way to get going quickly. This was our unit:

I will, I havnt picked up the truck yet. I'm more of a planner and when I get at it i go all out. Real issues here.lol

Something else to consider is Single Rear Axle or is it a Double Axle Rear. The single axle will turn in a much tighter circle than the double axle trucks. Yeah, I know you don't drive in circles - but a turn - with a truck (or tree or building) beside you will kick the back end of the habitat or box out much faster on the single axle trucks.

Those are pricy, If we are talking about those, I will just build the box.lol I'll probably buy something with a slide, peel the sides, fir it out, reinforce, insulate and reskin. Quick dirty and cheap in the end. At this point in my life I dont have $50k to spend on a habitat. everything starts adding up real quick

I found our trailer on craigslist for ~$15k (yes, pre-covid). Wasn't advocating new, just that they are well built and well featured. They are out there used if you look patiently.
