my idea of a m725 camper

[wantapinz2]

Ok guys it's an amateurish photoshop job, but a flippac transplant and a couple
windows along with all the other amenities would be awesome. Of course it will take lots of cutting and fiber glass work but very doable . Add a cummins
4bt diesel with an overdrive tranny it should get 20 mpg.

I keep tossing this idea around for mine and then keep tossing it out because I want to cover the top in solar panels, a Sat dish, and maybe an AC unit.

The only issue I see with doing this is that you'd need to build some sort of 'halo' to keep the box intact since you'd need to remove 2-3 of the roof supports going across the top. Def doable though.

I'm still trying to figure out how standing room is going to work in the back of mine.

I think the sleeping area is going to be a fold out bed off the back like some of the smaller travel trailers use.

I always wanted to do the same thing but with an old retired hummer ambulance. Its not a jeep, but in the back of those things there is plenty of room, about as much room as any truck camper.

Is your 725 in the bay area somewhere? (that is if you have a 725).

If you do.. would you mind me showing up in a week or 2 to take some measurements? I'm probably about 2 months out of getting mine shipped out here and would like to start planning.

Thanks

That really is interesting and opens up several possibilities.

Are your plans to keeps yours stock or do a drivetrain swap?

(btw I'm Panther on the zone')

Hi Jason,
Yes, I enjoyed watching your build and yours is still in MD right?
The M725 as an EV is gaining steam, including us 3 there are 5 going on now that I'm aware of. Mine is a 2 phase project, first upgrade all drivetrain and then the box. I'm curious to see what you guys do as well.

Yup,
Mine is still in MD for another month or so. Its loosing its home there so I need to get it shipped out here. on the plus side, I just moved to where I'll have a place to stick it

Still working on a shipper. They are just a hair tall for 'normal' car haulers. Worse comes to worse I'll just drive it out
