Hi all, Up for sale is my homemade wedge camper which functions very similarly to the "Go Fast Campers". This design closely follows the plans from Ripcord but the bed/tent area is longer and has an opening for standing. The design also features a folding floor to allow the floor/mattress to be...

If anyone is interested, I made a for sale post in the classified section. This camper has been great, but its time for the next project! https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/diy-go-fast-camper-lightweight-wedge-style-camper.31939/

At this point I wanted to be done with the build and get the camper on the truck so Did not take many more pictures of finishing the camper. I know these posts have been brief but hopefully everyone liked the build and I hope it might help anyone that may want to tackle a project like this...

I wanted new suspension on the truck because of the terrible FX4 shocks. the stock shocks were very soft and the truck drove like a boat. I decided on bilstein 6112 for the font and 5160 shocks for the rear. I also added Old Man Emu 1.7" Lift Rear Leaf Spring Kit to offset the weight of the...

I used piano hinges for the doors. To help with water proofing I overlaid some waterproof fabric over each hinge and sandwiched it between the frame and the doors. The hinges were riveted to the frame and the doors were bolted to the hinges. The doors were a pain to cut. I used the frame to...

More welding and grinding and then it was ready for paint. It was a professional paint job. Spray cans in my buddy's backyard. The Steel frame and the other components were sealed using a combination of cork gasket and lots of silicone. The majority of the panels are made from an...

The 8020 frame went together quick using the the brackets recommended from Ripcord's build. The corner brackets I used would make a gap between them so I 3D printed filler pieces. These were sealed using RTV in the final assembly. Next was the frame. I think there was over 80 feet of tubing...

Hey everyone, I wanted to make a thread during my build, but ended up not getting to it until now. I built this camper over last winter and used it many times over the summer. This truck has become everything I imagined and has helped me explore so many places. If anyone is interested in...

Where did you purchase the hurricane hinge ? I am still trying to decide on what hinge to use on my build. I might chest cheap out and use piano hinge.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to purchase some Tremor leaf springs. After a bunch of research on what springs would suit my build best, I think some tremor leafs springs would be the best fit. I thought I had found a lead on some but it fell through. I'm located outside of salt lake City, Utah. I'm...

I guess I'm not the only one working on a wedge camper. I'm still in the design stage. Still working on my CAD model. I was thinking the same as you, going with the 52" wide. Have you thought about adding a flip up bed platform? I'm trying to work one into my design.
