The under the bed storage space was intended to be organized into two parts. We opted for the carpeted interior to add some insulation and comfort. While privacy was a concern, so was ventilation, so we chose to have screened in sliding windows. This meant an aerodynamic shell with extra headroom in the back.
Truck bed camper series#
There were many sizes and configurations possible, but we went with the ARE TW series truck cap, which rose in height from the cab to the tail of the truck. (Ford F150s were generally the best covered.) Yet, ARE did have a cover that fit the truck. Better yet, we could order it in “electric blueberry” or whatever name Dodge concocted to describe our trucks particular shade of brilliant blue. We researched lots of covers but found that very few supported a Dodge Ram 3500 and, for some reason, having a dual cab was an issue for fitting a lot of truck bed shells. To make the truck bed livable we needed a shell to cover it. Now, with Dodgy II, we were ready to implement the plans we had been delaying for over a year. We bided out time, until we were ready for a more tailored living arrangement. We tried different sleeping arrangements, brainstormed on privacy options, tested packing configurations. So we shifted gears: instead of making Dodgy the end-all-be-all road chalet, Dodgy would be our prototype. While Dodgy was amazing, with more space than we could have hoped for, we quickly discovered that finding replacement parts and people who would work on Dodgy was an onerous task. We intended to strip Dodgy and turn it into a travel home tailored to our needs. Rolling back the months to when we first moved out of our San Francisco apartment and into Dodgy, we had ambitions, very custom ambitions.
