@@jimthompson2085 With a full fresh tank of water (65 gallons) it’s 7400 pounds. We’ve since upgraded to a RAM 5500.

We’ve since upgraded to a 2022 RAM 5500 with an aluminum flatbed since we were far too over payload on the 3500. We haven’t done a video on it yet because we were waiting to finish the upgrades but should have it out soon.

It’s possibly on our list. We currently flat tow our lifted Jeep and are contemplating getting a trailer to tow it AND have room for toys. Keeping miles off the expensive 37” tires would be nice!

We started with a dually 3500 but quickly realized it was not enough to handle the payload. We’ve since upgraded to a 5500 and are much safer and within payload. Fully loaded and with a full fresh tank, we were 7400 pounds. Our ram was only rated for 5750. Our new 5500 is rated for 11,000 pounds. You would be safe right off the lot with a 1 ton dually but as soon as you start adding anything, you’ll most likely be overweight.

I agree about the toilet, however, it’s something that we need as fulltime boondockers and alleviates the need for a black tank, thus extending the amount of time we can stay off grid. Yes, we both work full-time remotely. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t need the space or desk area. Once we retire, we will most likely go even smaller with a truck camper that has no slides.

Thanks, we swapped to a 5500 shortly after this video. We were grossly over payload for the 3500.

@@PublicWifi It was… we’ve since swapped it out for a 5500 for that exact reason. And yes, we’re about 7400lbs. with a full fresh tank.

We’ve since swapped to a 5500. Video to come!

Yes, indeed! We were lucky enough to make a decent profit when we sold our last rig so it didn’t hurt so bad. RVs in general have gotten crazy expensive!

@@mattroussey8413 The 360° views were unbelievable!!!

Thanks! The black tank is shared by both the toilet and vanity, both in the same slide. Since the vanity is still connected to it, we decided to leave it as is. We had thought about removing the tank and just using a bucket under the sink but don’t want to make it too custom, for resale purposes. As it is, it’s easy to go back to a conventional toilet since we just capped off the water line and used a test plug in the toilet drain. Above the door was a rolling blind/valence that we removed when we installed the built in blind for the door window. Thanks for watching!

Close, just over the border in MD. 😊

Miss that rig! She was a beaut!

Yes, we had the Poynting 7in1 mounted just behind the front cap.

@@WheelinwiththeWendes Thanks! I ended going in pantry with mine, as the cap/cabinet issue scared me :-). Thanks for always responding!!

@@brucehale6151 You’re welcome. I mounted mine there for optimum reception. It really sealed well.

You’re right, we were way overweight. We have since swapped out to a 5500 and will have a video out soon on it.

@@WheelinwiththeWendes me too. I had an incident where one of my rear wheels fell off going 60 mph. Not a fun time. I have since also upgraded to a 5500. Way more stable!

@@WheelinwiththeWendes very cool - is that the the 5500 Chasis cab? Really like the camper you have and some of your mods eg actuators for your solar - we are considering switching from our class A back to truck and camper so very interested in your experiences regarding the mammoth - look forward to seeing your setup with the 5500. We hope to be south this winter so maybe we can connect to get a “real life” view of your rig!

On either side of the bed, in the very small wardrobe closets. We’ve learned to pare down to the minimum and buy only if we need it. We also use clear Walmart Sterlite containers stacked inside to utilize every vertical inch possible.

Not sure what you mean, other than the hitch extension. We haven’t touched yet… and we boondock 90% of the time. We also since upgraded to a 5500 and Kelderman suspension which gives us a bit more clearance.

Thank you! Glad we were able to share and help! Good luck!

Thanks! We purchased them at WalMart. Similar to this one… www.walmart.com/ip/5343085495

We’ve since swapped to a 5500 flat bed rated for 19,500 GVWR. Fully loaded with a full fresh tank we’re close to 18,500.

No, unfortunately I never served but wish I had. We typically get 8-9mpg.

Thanks so much for the awesome comment and the energy you put into it. I’m glad you know her so well just from a walkthrough.

Why? Any link?

@@Kevin-midmichigan From what I understand, fulltiming just wasn’t their thing. facebook.com/share/7pjb2HFWXe6jqKax/?mibextid=79PoIi

@WheelinwiththeWendes thank you very much and nice looking new camper ya got there

It’s a 16,000 grain model On-the-Go water softener. For a rig this size, you could probably get away with the smaller 8,000 grain unit but we go through a lot of water since we’re fulltime. It’s definitely a gamechanger out west where the water is so hard.

Thank you very much. We have an older lance and someday we will be part timers 😂❤

Another question. Typically these are used in between the hook ups. When you are filling the tanks do you use it and how much longer does it take to fill

We use it all the time, even when filling the freshwater tank. It doesn’t seem to slow it down at all.

@@WheelinwiththeWendes Awesome, that’s what it’s all about - glad to hear it! Real quick, you two pretty satisfied having it on the 1ton? Thanks, looking forward to the follow-up!

Thanks for the info, we agree. We RARELY take ours off, only if the truck needs service. Even then, I hate it being on the jacks. The only way I can see it being safely stored off the truck is if the base itself is being supported.

We swapped to a 5500 not long after this was filmed. Way safer now!

We could barely squeeze through to get in the bed but that’s about it. No refrigerator access.

Wouldn’t THAT be nice! 😊

We’ve had carpet on the steps on every RV we’ve owned. 👍🏻
