[p]Hi,[/p][p]
[/p][p]New to this forum.... just purchased a 2013 F250 crew cab SB & were looking to buy a camper in the next year or so. I'd like to mount a 8.6 onto a custom flatbed and was wondering if anyone had seen or done this before ?[/p][p]
[/p][p]Thanks,[/p][p]Andy[/p]
I havent seen the 8.6 mounted to a flatbed, but I have seen (and almost purchased) the 8.0 setup in that way. Granted its not a hard sided unit, but it was mounted sideways on a decent flat bed option with enough room up front for a couple of ATVs. I would imagine a similar setup could be done for just about any of the rigs if you have enough time and money...

Hi Sean,
We currently have a RRT mounted on my D2, it's great for accessing small back country sites but not ideal for longer trips. A hard side is what we really want next and I'm toying with the idea of the 6.8 now, keeps the rear overhang short for travelling logging roads and leaves a bit more capacity left for towing my rock crawler on a trailer. The reduced storage in the camper is somewhat offset by storage in the sub-chassis that the camper would be mounted into, that then sits onto the flat back tray.
Cheers,
Andy
Couple of my former coworkers had similar setups. One had a awning made for the deck area and would set up at the camp site. They also installed plumbing to drain grey and black tanks easier and to fill the fresh water tank. They also installed electric for their "patio deck" their recommendation and advise was determine what you are going to haul on the trailer so its loaded correctly.
