Default Speedweigand Customs slide-in camper





I'm looking for 5 wood crafty people to "test" my horrible assembly instructions

Doesn't require any modification to the bed other than some form of attachment, for example long body posts...

More details soon!

Laters,
Speed

Let's try to keep tech questions over here in the venders section for future reference...
Speedweigand Customs slide-in camper

Some more pics...
The rear panel can be installed either way so the door can be on which ever side is best for you


There's enough room on the narrow side for a ladder still or you can not run a spare and put a ladder where the tire is shown


Winders will be available separately in clear or smoked plexi... maybe black plastic too


Clamps are sooo handy, but not required


Steve is super excited too but it's time for bed


Doesn't require any modification to the bed of the truck other than some form of attachment, for example long body posts...

I'd expect it to work with the Tundra and Clod bodies too but I haven't tested the fitment yet to say for sure.

Careful hilux bodies breed like bunnies

it's getting there! Once I get the roof rack, ladder, spare tire, septic cleanout, and a door handle on we'll be looking real good. Gotta get the lights in there too, lights are going to but me over the top! I put the kitchen table in today, no pic though...

Best part is the Honcho's w/o electronics so I hiked that mother back into the woods for the right place to get some pics.

Dude that is so awesome. Have you tried driving it under a too-low scale gas station canopy yet?


FWIW, Winnebago never made a slide in camper.

Sweet! PM'd

The problem with the instructions is that in being hopelessly anal at times I have made a few of the front pieces oversized so the builder has some flexibility to decide which pieces go first. Being a small cnc I don't really have the option of cutting angles on individual pieces w/o changing bits during the run which would add a lot of time on my end. The gray area comes from the area over the cab, the rear of the camper is all square. Had I cut the pieces to the exact length there would be a slight gap where the angle is missing. I decided it's easier to sand a little off then try to grow a 3/16" later, after all it's 1/4" plywood so it sands pretty fast. I really need a table saw but I just don't have space or the funds.

I have learned from experience that some people don't want/need options... so I was trying to make it simple enough for the novice yet customizable for the experienced builder.

I can sympathize with that I work part time for a custom cabinet/woodworker and having to change bits/setup for just one or 2 cuts can take up a ton of time, awesome slide in camper by the way,I will have to get one once they are available, got a hilux sitting here just waiting for one
