Howdy everyone, like to take a moment to say hello to everyone here and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this forum :).
Unless I'm mistaken, I think I'm the first Truck Camper owner here, as there's no truck camper option in the RV selection drop down box :p.
So, here's some pictures of my nearly 40 year old camper from some of its journeys, and my truck, which is always a project :p.
The "Redneck Express" out traveling:

The old Dodge Pickup after the dually conversion:

And welcome to you! Truck camper? thought about that, but She Who Must Be Obeyed came up with a trailer before I'd thunk too much.
You're more than welcome here. Heck! They even let ME participate!
Welcome to this neck of the woods Redneck. BTW, I forgot to tell you your new fenders came out looking great.
Dave
The dual rear wheels should really help with the handeling. Really love the still on the frt bumper He He! Frank
Thanks all for making me feel welcome, and there are some days where I really wish the old fruit juice barrel on the front of the truck was a still ;).
On the subject of the fenders and what not, I still haven't had a chance to take her out with any kind of load in the bed. The closest I'll be is when I tow my neighbor's old Komfort 25 from the park over to the storage yard.
I have also found one slight downside to those hips, any spray from the front tires, even with their mud flaps still manages to catch the front of those fenders :p.
What a GREAT looking rig!!! And welcome to "the" place for all the ideas and help a guy could ever want! Can't wait to see some more pictures!
(Everyones pictures is where I steal my ideas from..... i?? )
I have quite a library of pictures over on my blog :). I haven't really got much in the way of new pictures, other than of the truck from the conversion process.
