- It's gone forever. I sold my rig and my Supertramp camper. I still cannot believe that it is actually gone, but it had to be done. There are a few reasons why I made the decision to let my rig go to someone else. In this video, I will talk about the reason why I sold my rig with very little lead time.
Well you should be proud of that build It was well thought out and executed. Congrats on finding a buyer so quickly the stars truly did align! I get this bc while my popup is perfect for me, it us less than purrfect for me and my cat together.
Thank you. It was a dream build for sure and I wish it would have worked out for me. The rig was fantastic for adventuring, but with every trip I took I realized more and more how limiting it was for being able to do my job and also work on my side business. I am really bummed about it, but I am also not a person that drags this on and on and becomes unhappy. So, once I came to terms with the situation I decided to start over. Life is too short ....
After reading your book I am very surprised. Wishing all the best for your new plans.
Don't be surprised. Life is too short to be stuck in a situation that you can change. It takes a leap of faith and courage and trust in yourself to do the right thing. I guess that is how I got here. :-) Anyway, thank you for buying the book and coming here to leave a comment. Habe mich sehr darueber gefreut!!!!! 😀
I would be interested in learning more about the sales process. It would help me on both sides of the transaction.
Thank you. I will make a video about it. I am sure there are others that want to know as well.
Anyone who camps in a smaller camper or van has to deal with the "duffle shuffle." The only way around that is to get a large, long tall-van (gay), a 3/4 ton truck with a big cabover camper, or an RV.
I hear ya. And I admit, I am a bit picky regarding my setup. Like I said, technically it all worked, but I could not see myself dealing with this for a few years. I am fortunate to have options and that is why I decided to start over with a new truck build.
Yeah Supertramp needs to offer a flatbed style camper like that FWC flatbed Hawk or Grandby.
They are still working on the Megatron, so I am not sure if they have anything on the roadmap. When I talked to them a while ago a flatbed version or long-bed version was not a consideration.
Congrats on the quick sale. I have the same truck and camper, less the flatbed. I’m wondering what suspension work you are planning on the new rig based on how your old set up worked? I’m looking to tweak mine as I find the lack of rear sway bar on the Tremor, while handy off road, makes for a bit too much roll on long highway drives especially when fully loaded.
On the rig I sold I had the Hellwig sway bar in the rear and it made a dramatic difference. I am not planning for it (yet) on the new rig as I want to drive it first and add it if needed. That is how I did it on my previous rig. You could go with airbags or Timbrens or Sumo Springs to improve the ride.
I am going with the Carli Pintop suspension again on the new rig, but will have the XXHD progressive leaf spring pack from Carli + airbags (with cradle).
Sad to see that one go, that was a well dialed-in rig. The buyer will be pleased. I missed it, what truck did you get? I'm trying to figure out my first truck camper/rig, thinking F350 + NuCamp 820 or the new 920. What's your next move?
All these campers that you mention are good, but not what I have in mind. They are great for normal camping and some forest or fire roads, but I am wanting to go way beyond that and those places and roads I am after would destroy these campers in no time. Maybe the Northern Lite campers could meet my expectations, but in the end I decided to go with a dedicated off-road build. New video about my plans is coming soon. The build itself will not be ready before the end of September.
