guess you can tell where my head is! the tacks would probably be brass and actually aid in holding the leather against the wood. the appliance would be very much like the orgasmatron.

how, do I caption this? "Frankencamper"?:

As it begins:

The lift: ( after breaking one strap, owing to my helper not seeing it was cut).

swinging into place:

sliding it in: (ever so gently)

final alignment:

Mounted!!!

TAA DAAAA!!!
What a feat to be admired!!!
Can't wait to see this in person... most impressive!

And YES, you definitely deserve a drink (at least a double) in da bar!!
I'll drink to that!!!

EspressoDude · Post by **EspressoDude** » Sun Jul 17, 2011 6:21 pm

the FrankenKamper sure does has a lot of ass hanging out!! A Bootie Wagon or waggin!

may need to put that anvil(point forward) on the front bumper to keep the front wheels on the ground going uphill

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sun Jul 17, 2011 6:29 pm

hahah, yeah,.......you know how sometimes, it all just works out?
well
legal max height: 14'
FC height: 13'8"

max rearward overhang at 2/3 wheelbase: 9'6"
FC overhang: 9'4"

water monitor height from deck, sans tip: 46"
bottom of cab over height, from deck: 48"

I'm hoping, with all the heavy engine, Allison auto trans, and pumping apparatus ahead of the camper, IPBA.
I may also haul extra water out in the tank. Not sure about that yet. It'll haul 500 gallons, but, not sure how much it leaks, or, if there'd be a good reason to do so.

Booty Wagon is exactly what I was thinking, but, for an entirely different reason I'm sure.

You know Yggy, I've been to your home numerous times, and when I first saw the final picture (which I saw first) even though I know you own those things outright, oddly enough it looked to me like two accordians making love.

But then again, I'm sicker than most.

No no Doc, do not be blinded; it is the majestic mating of two behemoths, lovingly orchestrated, attended with pious attention and requiring all the vicarious effort usually reserved for imperial consummations. I find it very impressive and quite inspiring.

Most impressive, Ygmir!! Drinks all around!

Damn Yggy! Impressive!

Am I the only one with a crazy urge to paint the camper shell safety orange?

CapSmashy · Post by **CapSmashy** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:01 am

That is epic win Ygmir.

WOW! That's really amazing!

Do you think it would be a huge PITA to drive into a headwind?

You could offer "fire hose rides"?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:49 am

@ DJS: haha, yeah, I imagine a head wind will slow me.....although, it's got a pretty big engine, being a fire truck and all.
and, "fire hose rides"......you're brilliant!!
I have to see, how much it leaks. I know it drips some water when the tank is full. Even though clean water, I'd think it'd be frowned upon to be sitting there dripping......

@ Eric:
yeah, you just want it to match your beard.
standing in front, you might appear as the "Cheshire Cat"?........hahhaaa

You certainly wouldn't like it being stuck in a big puddle of silt if it leaks really bad. I don't think it would qualify as potable in that container either.

And thank you for the lovely complement!

Wow Yggy, standing ovation !
My question is, what if you get up in the middle of the night and fall 13 ft

trying to get to the jots.

doh...of course It would be.

Yggy, is the intent to make this a mutant vehicle (MV)?

CapSmashy · Post by **CapSmashy** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:33 am

Hmmm... fire hose rides or the largest wet t-shirt contest ever?

CapSmashy · Post by **CapSmashy** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:39 am

I reposted the pictures over on a performance car board I am on and they love it.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 12:00 pm

@ Dougly: nope, just a way to get to the playa, have a room with a view, and, suppress fires if needed, on the way........well, the wet tshirt idea aint bad, either...........

you guys are making me think about fixing the drips so I can haul water out in it........

Drawingablank · Post by **Drawingablank** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 12:14 pm

Congrats on the most awesome RV I've ever seen.

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:04 pm

Ygmir, can you get a hold of your nozzle with the camper on top of it like that?
Do you have a remote control nozzle?
Maybe you can hose people down from the safety of your camper?

Elorrum · Post by **Elorrum** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:16 pm

It reminds me a bit of this.

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:18 pm

That's a good pic of Ygmir's mechanism. He can use it to lift two big rigs at once.

Thanks DB...........

@ Dougly: no, dang, the camper covers the water cannon......but, it has 7 other hose outlets, and a 100' power hose reel in the back...........

@Elorrum:

hahaha, yeah, I'd love to build something like that.
Thanks for stopping today.
