This is why floor plans for campers are so challenging. As soon as you go to a flatbed, the layout is endless and your weight is not above the truck bed rails! I would imagine in the next few years depending on the economy we will see Lance, Northwood...etc. giving consumers the option. Great job Jesse!

100% agree. Most double slides are overweight on 350s and 3500s. People do it, but if they have an accident and the insurance company says it was overloaded, THEY WILL NOT PAY OUT!! You can also be charged criminally for operating an unsafe vehicle!! Adding bags and springs DO NOT increase a trucks payload capacity!! I think A LOT of truck campers will be looking at flatbeds when their current setups get older. Very little cost difference between a 3500 and a 5500!!

The door placement is genius. Not only can you tuck in to use the bathroom quick, but if it was just the two of you pulling up somewhere late at night, you could sleep inconspicuously without having to put the slides out. Really nice layout.

@@Stonyboot The only thing I noticed is the flatbed sat low on the tires so some added suspension work might need to be done. Also I have heard those 550’s suspension is absolutely atrocious also the handling and turning radius. I saw on an old video they only can reach about 80 mph full out so if that is true how bad is that going to kill your fuel mileage driving on highways and interstates. So many questions I have about it but I will wait till he gets them into production to reach out for information. The interior of it is amazing though. Lots of room. Reminds me of a Eagle Cap 1165 but even bigger by the looks of the open floor.

I think the Truck Camper industry just needs better competition. I've been very impressed with KingStar Campers except that they seem to be missing internal holding tanks. After living in my host camper for exactly one year I can honestly say that the camper is not four season... looking at the 1200/1165 Eagle Cap's website I noticed they claim four season... how has it handled the weather in your opinion? I live in Texas and the heat was brutal... my Demonic AC (Dometic - its soooo noisy that you can't watch a movie or even make a phone call) could barely keep up.. and last years winter in New Hamphire/Vermont was brutal too. Even with my issues, I really enjoy this lifestyle and judging by your videos you seem to be enjoying yourself too... happy camping & fishing🙂

Number one it has a huge dry bath that I wish was a full wet math I would love to have all that space being used properly in a full wet that's because that's more practical than the cutesy stuff they try to make dry baths.! Plus I have always wanted a stove oven combination that also has a presto log burning section still allow me to burn a presto log in the camper and still have an oven and still have a stove ! Have always wanted to be a truck camper designer.! There was this company and I think it's in Southern California that makes a black tank waste burning system that's just awesome

This guy doesn't manufacturer the truck camper, he just buys the base shell and then customizes the interior... He changed the entry door location and does the bathroom different, but its the same truck campers as Host Mammoth 11.6 just not a slide in....
