Where do you start on a rig like this? By telling you where it can take you? (Almost anywhere, BTW) All of the things I put into the build to make it unique?(There are a ton of little things!) How much I spent and how you should want me to get all my money back? (Never expected to get my investment back)
Here is a full video run around of the rig and features.

So, let’s just take it from the top and what you might like / love about this platform? First, it is in fact a platform. The 2023 Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel functions perfectly with the NorWeld flatbed that functions so incredibly well with the Four-Wheel Camper HAWK. Seamlessly is the word that comes to mind on how well this all works together.
This rig is turnkey.In fact, it just got back from a 5 month trip up through Canada and it still has less than 35,000 miles. It is just a baby in terms of the years of adventures ahead. I unfortunately need to let it go to a happy (Or maybe even an unhappy) home as I set my sights on a major move and different life stage.
What are some of the things I love about this platform? The 49-gallon fuel tank keeps you going longer even as you get to camp and this truck rides like a dream. The versatile storage drawers within the flatbed allowing you to store all sorts of items but have them at hand exactly when you need them. The amount of storage inside of the camper itself. The below seat storage is incredible not to mention the under-bed organization.
let’s talk about the things that have been added to make this rig so much more usable.
- 2” suspension lift with 37” Toyo Tires with upgraded Method HD Rims. This ride is extremely comfortable on and off road and the tires give you incredible cushion and stability.
- Vice Designs hidden winch mount and Warn Zeon 12s Winch for peace of mind and security hidden within the front bumper.
- Front Runner roof rack with lockable mounts for the included full-size shovel and axe
- Full size roof mounted light bar and Baja Designs amber fog lights integrated into the bumper.
- 12v converted and roof mounted full size Starlink. Having this system allows you to run the Starlink without having to turn on the inverter saving you an incredible amount of electricity and the full size (NOT mini) Starlink has much better remote connectivity.
- Replaced standard Renogy system with a complete top of the line Redarc system allowing you remote access and the ability to connect and control lights, tank levels, and more.
- Installed an inverter and wired into 110 outlets + installed two USB-C ports by the sink and at the kitchen area.
- AEV raised air intake for increased power and less dust intake and peace of mind for any deep-water crossings that water will not get into your engine.
- After market installed and highly reliable remote start.
- Rear air bags
- Front and rear Wolf box camera giving you full visual access to what is always behind you but also the peace of mind of auto recording and archiving if something were to happen you would have the recordings.
In addition to all these things. This sale also includes.
- A custom removable rear seat platform. This was designed and constructed by a professional contractor and allows you to install a 2-level system into your rear seats in minutes without having to remove the seats. It also includes a compact fridge that fits within the platform enabling you to keep snacks and drinks close by.
- Attachable rack to the rear of the camper where you can attach a bicycle carrier that is included.
- A reinforced steel box designed to go where the spare tire used to be stored. This is great for firewood or other items that you do not want to soil your other items.
- An attachable exterior table that slides into the channels on the outside of the camper.
- A portable dual compressor with air reservoir system that excels at inflating the 37” tires.
- Pillow top mattress cover for the king size bed.

Known issues: There is a door ding dent on the passenger side. The DEF system was giving me some grief when I had the vehicle parked for a month and then was only doing short drives but I added some additive and used a little skinny pedal to get it all sorted out. I reinforced the front shocks and added new front shocks this summer. Has 50% left on fuel filter and oil before service and I put in a new air filter this week.
So, taking it from the top.If you purchased this truck off the lot today it would cost, you $69k plus + taxes + etc. The camper with all the items optioned is $68k. The flatbed is $19k+. Taking you to a base cost of $155k + tax. So now that we have found “base” Adding all the extras cost me an additional $40k excluding labor taking the base cost to over $200k. I am motivated to see it go and get back on the road and as such I am selling it for $142k.
Vehicle is in San Luis Obispo, CA but I can bring it to you if we reach terms.
