OK, big RVs like 40 plus foot motorhomes and travel trailers have slide outs, right, even 3 or 4 of them, but campers? I guess some campers also have them, like this one, belonging to Bruce and Barbara Ludlum, who assembled a Class 5 Ram 5500 with an 11-foot cab and chassis, a highly-customized Knapheide 9-foot utility bed, and an Eagle Cap 1165.
So what is it now? A 3-slide out camper with 10k pounds of payload… a retirement RV traveler’s dream.
