Your top-choice for economic, travelling / self-sufficient boondocking, to be yours in September 2015 in Minneapolis or around
We love our truck camper and we’ve put a lot of work into it to spruce it up and turn it into a real home. We’ve also had the car optimized for carrying a camper. The setup is perfect for two (or more) people who want to go anywhere, anytime. You can go into wilderness with the 4-wheel-drive or just choose a campground but pay less because with this vehicle you’ll need no hookups! The Pop Up camper makes you more lightweight and smaller than any other RV and gives you a low profile. It’s all set up for being independent with a big water tank, a solar panel and two powerful batteries.
We’re aiming to sell the truck and camper as a combination and we’re asking 6000 $ OBO. If that shouldn’t work out, we’d be willing to sell the truck for 4500 $ and the camper for 1800 $. Check out the feature list and start dreamin’ about YOUR journey:
About the truck:
- Automatic transmission 1999 Ford F-150 Super Cab XLT with Triton 5.4 liters V8 engine (runs on gasoline)
- The car had one previous, car-savvy owner who took very good care of it and replaced several parts. It was never a work truck and was only used for commuting around Arizona and then for our travels.
- No rust anywhere due to the hot and dry climate in Arizona and no one has ever smoked inside the vehicle
- Stepside bed that has been modified for camper tie-downs. Rear tie-downs are fixed to the rear bumper which makes the handling in curves better
- Super cab with full back seat for 3, or seats fold over for inside storage
- Several engine parts have been replaced about 5k miles ago including the alternator, battery, serp belt, idler pulley, and belt tensioner.
- Tires have been upgraded to 10-ply tires with load range E (2 Michelin tires at the front and Toyos at the rear). Rear tires have a mud-terrain profile for offroad and backcountry driving
- Factory brakes have been upgraded to slotted and drilled brakes to better dissipate heat and for better braking power
- Since the car is only a half-ton truck (factory payload 1360 lbs) we’ve had additional overload leaf springs installed to increase the payload by ca. 900 lbs and level the car. Installed by 4×4-and-more of Scott’s Valley.
- Oil and filters have been changed every 3k.
- Transmission was completely rebuilt after a failure with 150k miles on it. Rebuilt by Lee Miles Transmission.
- High and low speed 4-wheel drive
- Windshield has been replaced 4 times over the truck’s life but there’s a small repaired spot on the driver’s side currently
- Both power window motors and power locks have been replaced.
- Digital odometer was replaced around 50k miles when it was intermittent. This did not affect real mileage, just the display. Current mileage is 196.000 miles.
- The paint is showing its age. This truck was often parked in the Arizona sun. The hood and roof show the most paint fading, while the rest of the truck body has minor heat splintering. Only very minor dents, so a complete paint job would make it look new.
- Interior is in good shape and there’s only a few small holes in the headliner.
- All hoses have been replaced around 100k.
- A/C compressor was replaced around 100k miles by Ford because of minor leak. Works perfectly.
- Headlight enclosures have been replaced at around 150k so they are clear.
- CD/MP3 deck was installed truck at around 100k miles. Pioneer deck with remote control and Automatic Sound Leveling (lowers the radio volume as you slow down).
- The truck has DeeZee black side steps and a bug guard on the hood.
- A DeeZee full front grill guard has been installed and the inner grill has been replaced with a black version.
- We’ll throw in the following which we will no longer need: Covercraft custom windshield sun shade, a brand new set of ceramic brake pads, fuel filter, wiper arms and blades (not needed yet, just bought them for future use), a back up camera (not installed yet), a selection of tools like power drill, screwdrivers, wrenches etc., tire pressure gauge and good foot pump.
- The truck has proven itself to be absolutely reliable and we’ve had no issues with it at all. The 360 horsepower are more than enough to handle the camper. It’s also never been in an accident. VIN: 1FTRX08L5XKA97258
