    Stewart and Stevenson for an Overland Camper?

    Would you say there is stability gained on the highway when at speed by going with the 6x6? Or would the 4x4 hold its own rather well in terms of highway speed stability? (I know there’s much more of an impact tonnage when relating 4x4 vs 6x6, but I would like to resolve the stability aspect...

    Stewart and Stevenson for an Overland Camper?

    I get that this covers mostly, if not all, the engine/transmission aspects of the truck, but what about the components such as the airlift cab, the crane(?) for moving the spare tire, etc.? I feel like the engine and tranny are Cummins reliable, but I’m still curious about the...

    Stewart and Stevenson for an Overland Camper?

    I see the thread and I'm sure it will become more relevant as I go on my journey more. Now that I have some my initial questions answered, I'll focus first on what size box I'll need, weighing 2.5 ton vs 5 ton pros/cons, and how I'll go about buying a truck.

    Stewart and Stevenson for an Overland Camper?

    TMs like instruction manuals? I'm bit unfamiliar with the verbiage lol And when you say private party, do you mean like an individual or from one of the companies that restore these monsters? (Example: Midwest Military Equipment, etc)

    Stewart and Stevenson for an Overland Camper?

    Glad to be here guys! I have an array of questions so I can find out whether my desire for a Stewart and Stevenson truck is valid or not. So here’s the idea I have in my head. I want to use an S&S truck for a camper build. The concept that makes me really draws me in is creating an RV that can...

    Greetings from Las Vegas

    Hey guys! Greetings from Las Vegas. Absolutely new to the world of Military Trucks. The reason I got into the subject in the first place was I wondered if there were RVs that could go off road. Once I saw the options that were out there from different companies (Earthroamer LTi for example)...
