Hello

[arizonatruck]

Hello, I am looking to build a camper shell onto my truck to do this part time as I work to pay off debt and to have something to live in while I help law enforcement, search and rescue and similar efforts.<br><br>I am also very tired of the city.&nbsp; All it's stress and all that stuff that I could curse and swear at.<br><br>I have planned out my shell on my short bed f250 and it's going to cost about $350 here in the phoenix area.

Thanks for the link.&nbsp; Currently when i go out, I either sleep in the back seat of the truck because it has shade and the mornings aren't that bad in the desert yet.&nbsp; This last weekend it got down to the high 40's to low 50's F outside of stanfield, AZ, but got up to the mid 90's in the shade, so at least 100 degrees F in the sun.<br><br>I have been using the solar charged little led lights for light inside the rig so that I don't have to open the doors and have all the lights on in the truck.&nbsp; I just put them outside on the roof and before I go to bed, I bring them in if i need some light.&nbsp; The dome lights are way too bright in the middle of a moonless night.
