Well well well, I was shopping around for my next project. It's not a Military vehicle, but I think it's interesting for a lot a people. So, here's the project:
- Base truck is a 2022 WesternStar 4700 6x6 on single tire
- Camper is a modified 40' container reduced to 32'
- Fully autonomous on...

The buying of this truck was not to build a camper at first. We decided to do it 2 years after. Then, with everything needs to be done in order to have a comfortable drive, we decided to sell.

We have decided to sell the truck. There's too much to do on it in order to get it at her expectation.
We went for a long ride 2 days ago and we decided to buy a more comfortable one for our retirement project.
So here's the link to have the details about it M923A2 for sale

Here's the last update on our project. We have time to work on the plans and equipment with Covid in our head ! Here in Quebec, the Government recommend to stay home and work remotely, so that's what we do.
I've been able to receive answer from Ontario Ministry of Transportation and I can...
That's what I intend to do, if I can put the truck back on the road :mad::mad::mad:
It's a 40' container, cut in half.
The way he attached it to the frame is with 3x 6" I-beam at the original point of attachment on the truck. You can se it on the video

I changed to 40’ container now. I have to do modifications in order to have a king size bed on top of the cab.
Still waiting for Government to change their rules [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

As I’m still stuck with new Government rules for MV on highways, I worked out some more ideas
I will go with a 40’ High Cube container insulated by the outside with https://www.insofast.com/insulation-panels-for-shipping-containers.html
I’m not sure what kind of siding for outside, probably...
I will be street legal for the height and for nocturnal activities.....well, remember it’s a retirement project [emoji1787][emoji1787] and the bed is not our favorite [emoji6]

Hi Buffalobwana,
That's the best idea I saw yet and I was not aware of the Total Composite box. I will take a closer look at it. Thanks !!
For the garage, the plan is on scale and the size of the car is a Smart, so it's small. I don't want to have a trailer in the back. So the frame will be...
Here’s a short update
New plans. My girlfriend just got to do them. Explanation after...
The bed is still over the cab (software bug in the design)
We went to another suspension shop and he proposed about the same for the suspension, but he asked why you don’t want to extend the frame and...
For the front suspension, the drawing I put is from a catalog parts (commercial truck design). The guy told me he has to built the arm from scratch to make sur it’s strong enough. So probably with some high grade steel like QT100. The axle will be above it to have enough displacement.
Tell me...
